I can't figure out what I've done wrong, can anyone lend me a hand?
 
The first event has a trigger than will let in only be fired by the AI. Was this your intention?
Agree with Dutchemperor, you should enter a startingdate and an enddate for the event to become active. This will simply be the time when the other triggers can trigger your event.

Yes that AI trigger is deliberate. I'm playing as Japan with SMEP, but I'm also trying out a new map, so after I conquered China and released a puppet state, it only got about half of the provinces it is supposed to. The partisans are absurdly crazy and it also makes the map an eyesore, so I wanted to transfer all those provinces over to Nanjing China.

For the date, would I just need to do put in a 1936-1963 timeframe with a 1-day offset?
 
The events I used for reference (Kaiserreich Mod) usually have an offset of 5 in these cases, I guess that is to make the events fire almost directly after furfilling the goal.

After you imput the dates the event should work.
 
You could also make some other event (for Jap) trigger your NatChi's one, I mean smth like "Ger have surrendered, we'll maybe need to give up our possessions in China... - yes - trigger 999998 (in this case you won't need to define date) / no - some other event of making Chinese mad of Japan".


But anyway the starting event must have defined date.
 
Yeah it's still not working. I've even added another event in the chain to make it a bit easier, but after I loaded the game and waited a month, it still didn't fire.

Would where the file is placed have any effect? Right now I just have all three of these in a separate document in the DB/events folder. Should I try putting them in Japan's?

If you place them in a separate document, make sure you've listed it in the "events.txt" which is located in /db.

I moved it all into Japan.txt and at least now it's giving me an error message and crashing the game, so I might be able to pinpoint what's wrong.

The error message is "unknown lhs in game-event" and it's right at where I have event 999997 listed.

Is it possible those numbers are already in use? Or are they too high?
 
Ha, I misplaced a bracket. That's what the error was. The chain's working now, thanks for your help!
