1st custom decision "Trade with Sweden" and need help (shocking, I know :)

[Timotheus1]

Why does the AI do this event when I play nation other than GER?
ai_will_do is set to 0 WTHeck?



This is in Specials file in TFH Decisions:

#TIMO new diplomatic decision for germany
#Trade with Sweden for metal
########################
# Trade with Sweden #
########################
# you can do this as many times as you want
diplomatic_decisions = {

trade_with_sweden = {
major = yes
potential = {
tag = GER
exists = SWE
}
allow = {
supplies = 50
money = 50
}
effect = {

supplies = -50
money = -50
metal = 500

set_country_flag = trade_with_sweden
}
ai_will_do = { factor = 0 }
}





OK, now this is in triggered_modifiers file in TFH common:

# timo trade with sweden for germany begin
# you can do this as many times as you want
trade_with_sweden = {
potential = {
TAG = GER }

trigger = {
has_country_flag = trade_with_sweden
}

metal = 99999
}
# timo trade with sweden for germany end




Event works fine btw. I might add neutrality and somesuch maybe later.

Also amount of steel is for testing purposes only

Ok, you've got a syntax error, you miss one "}" in the decision file, but it's maybe a copy/past issue.

Try for the event :

# timo trade with sweden for germany begin
# you can do this as many times as you want
trade_with_sweden = {
   potential = {
     has_country_flag = trade_with_sweden
   }
   metal = 99999
}
# timo trade with sweden for germany end

Edit : also notice the migthy "code" tag

Hi thexmassteam.

But you didn't put in any ai_will_do statement in there, so by default AI will do this event, correct?

So your code does not change anything?


Edit: IT WAS THE MISSING "}".
I feel sheepish, thanks.

Yes, but the "trade_with_sweden" flag can't be set if you are not Germany, so it's ok, AI will never fire this (afaik, I didn't try it) Remember that the less code you have, the fastest the game will be.

You're welcome.
If you use a basic text editor, try notepad++ instead, it'll help you for indentation and syntax. There is also tools to check file syntax, I never try but you can find them on the HOI3 wiki.

I used to code for a living, I should have checked such simple syntax myself twice ot thrice

No need for notepad++ or a checking tool with this simple code, really.
