A Little help with event creation

[unmerged(444403)]

Im trying to create my first event and i cant quite understand how to trigger events based on the date, im sure this is really simple but i keep getting it wrong.

Is this the correct way if i want the event to trigger during the first 5 days of the year 1956:

event = {
id = 8005011
random = no
country = ENG

name = EVT_8005011_NAME
desc = EVT_8005011_DESC
picture = "0946"
style = 0

trigger = {
atwar = no
}

date = { day = 5 month = jan year = 1956}
offset = 7
deathdate = { day = 5 month = jan year = 1956 }

Nop. Date and deathdate are the same ones, so is probably that will crash. Try:

 date = { day = 1 month = jan year = 1956}
offset = 1
deathdate = { day = 5 month = jan year = 1956 }

This is probably better:

date = { day = 0 month = january year = 1956}
offset = 4
deathdate = { day = 5 month = january year = 1956 }
