how do i switch a country through an event? can someone write me an example event where if Greece annexes Turkey that Greece itself will switch to the Byzantine Empire using tag U13.

the event itself would be easy (just use the type = country which = [TAG] command), but the command itself is bugged. When you switch tags your current research goes on with the old (Greek in your example) tech teams instead of the new ones. So any techs you were researching will never complete (which means you can never research beyond them). You would have to either manually go into the save game and delete those research projects or remember to stop all research before the event fired.GermanWehrmacht said:
so command = { type = country which = U13 } is the command to switch from greek to Byzantines for example?
so does this look right?

It would probably be better if you release Byzantine Empire and have it inherit Greece.
Yes, but it wouldn't work if you were playing as Greece, you game would end when the event fired.Akira said:
yeah thats right and i dont feel like switching out countries. but btw anything wrong with my event?
Don't see anything wrong with it...GermanWehrmacht said:
A note.
It is easier to check your code if you enclose it in code tags...
If you have scripts enabled you can just paste the code into the message box, select it and click on the button above that looks like a "Pound Sign" (#)
so would it be any different if i had a cancel tech event than fire the country switch event?
Wouldn't help. The sleep_team command doesn't immediately remove the team...it waits until it is completed with any current project.GermanWehrmacht said:
So the sleep_team command is pretty much "when your finished with the project your fired" is that how it is?
wow well thanks for the help i do have a little small problem. the Event works fine it switches from Greece to Byzantium but after it does it crashes. Whats the cause of it?
Are you (Greece) allied with anyone?GermanWehrmacht said:
If so, have you been given any Expeditionary Forces?
Have you taken Military Control of any of your allies?
Are you currently at war with someone?
Do you have forces in their territory (or them in yours)?
yes, yes, yes, and yes wow you must be a spyxtfoster said:
so i guess those would be the issues of the crash eh?
Could be...usually the expeditionary forces cause the crash. Happens with a lot of peace treaties when you make a member of an alliance your puppet...if they have given expeditionary forces to a alliance member the game will crash.GermanWehrmacht said:yes, yes, yes, and yes wow you must be a spy
