Bug With Sweden Help Finland Event?

[unmerged(31954)]

Soviet Union selects go to war in the Finland Winter War event sometime in late 1939. Sweden selects Send Aid to Finns. Flash forward to say June 1940, and Germany puppets Sweden. Shortly thereafter, Sweden decides to join its little brothers the Finns against the Soviets and declares war on the Soviets, drawing big brother Germany into the war. This has happened twice now.

How is this a bug? - It works as it should. Doesnt it?

- Are you complaining that the Swedes shouldnt DOW the ruskies?

Because the event ran A SECOND TIME when Germany puppeted Sweden. When it first ran on the start of the Finnish Winter War, the Swedes elected to send aid. Then it runs AGAIN upon being puppeted, and the Swedes declare war.

THAT'S my problem, Maximus II.

From by limited understanding of scritping events, it only checks to see if Sweden is in an alliance with GER. if they are allied, then the event will not trigger.

I guess you could add the following line:

ispuppet = SWE

to the sweden.txt file in the db/events folder so that the second NOT in the trigger section makes sure that SWE is not a puppet!

#########################################################################
#  The Finnish Winter War - Swedish Non-Intervention

event = { 
	id = 3301
	random = no
	country = SWE
	
	trigger = {
		war = { country = SOV country = FIN }
		event = 2621 #Finnish Winter War-Demands rejected
		atwar = no
		NOT = {
			OR = {
				ideology = liberal_conservative
				ideology = paternal_autocrat
				ideology = fascist
				ideology = nazi
			}
		}
		NOT = {
			alliance = { country = FIN country = GER }
[COLOR=DarkRed]                         [HERE][/COLOR]
		}
	}
	
	name = "EVT_3301_NAME"
	desc = "EVT_3301_DESC"
	style = 0
	
	date = { day = 17 month = july year = 1936 }
	offset = 7
	deathdate = { day = 31 month = december year = 1947 }
	
	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME3301A" # Send volunteers and materiel
		command = { type = manpowerpool value = -10 }
		command = { type = supplies value = -1000 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3201 } # FIN
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME3301B" # Intervene for our brother people!
		command = { type = warentry value = 100 }
		command = { type = war which = SOV }
		command = { type = access which = FIN }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3202 } # FIN
	}
}

Not sure if this works so, if one of the more knowledgable posters could verify Id be grateful!

Once done Ill report it in the BETA forum.

The event should never trigger twice, though. If it is indeed triggering twice, then that's really weird.

Is Sweden really joining the war via that event, or is it just joining the Axis?

 

[unmerged(15561)]

I take it random = no means that it can only fire once?

The only events that can fire more than once are ones with the tag persistent = yes, and those events can only be triggered by other events.

Sweden joins the USSR-Finland war. Both times, Germany was not at war with USSR and had no intention of going to war anytime soon, but next thing I knew, the Soviets were marching into my territories. I looked back in the log, and it was that event. The first time it happened, I thought I had just puppeted Sweden too soon. The second time I made sure that the event had already run. And then I puppeted, and in short order, the Soviets were marching into my territory.

Same thing happened to me

I had the same thing happen to me twice yesterday. Thought it was just bad luck until seeing this post. Tried again and had exactly the same experience described above (including the log). Not sure if this is a bug or WAD. Solved the problem by annexing Sweden ... shame given I needed to max out the resources.

Are you sure the same event is firing twice? There are two Swedish Winter War events: 3301 (Swedish Non-Intervention) and 3300 (Swedish Direct Intervention). What I think is happening is that 3301 is firing first then when Sweden is puppeted its government type changes to nazi which allows 3300 to fire. If they are supposed to be mutually exclusive then they should sleep each other.
