Okay, in the last events I used this trigger within the commands. But now, every country - even Sweden or Norway participate in the voting, despite they are not member. I will try it with regular trigger... But before the all = yes?

Thank you again for your reliabale support!

Thank you again for your reliabale support!

This is what worked for me:

Code:

event = {
   id = 99990923
    tag = { GER FRA HOL BEL LUX DEN SWE NOR }
    random = no
    all = yes
   persistent = yes
   
    trigger = { local_flag = Member_EL }

If this doesn't work for you then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

Mexbuild · Sep 27, 2017

Hmm, I have built in the trigger but not the second event fires for no one.

Code:

#########################################################################
#  EL Membership of Latvia
#########################################################################

event = {
    id = 99990924
   
    tag = { GER FRA HOL BEL LUX DEN SWE NOR CZE AUS }
    trigger = { local_flag = EL_Member }
    all = yes
    persistent = yes
   
    name = "EL Membership of Latvia"
    desc = "Faced by recent Soviet expansion in Eastern Europe, the government of Latvia seeks the membership in our alliance."
    style = 2
    picture = "EGTreaty"
    decision_picture = "decision_EGTreaty"
   
    action = {
        name = "Accept their membership!"
        ai_chance = 90
        trigger = { local_flag = Member_EL }
        command = { type = setflag which = VOTE_LAT when = 1 value = 1 }
        command = { type = relation which = LAT value = 50 }
        command = { type = relation which = SOV value = -50 }
    }
    action = {
        name = "Decline their membership!"
        trigger = { local_flag = Member_EL }
        ai_chance = 10
        command = { type = setflag which = VOTE_LAT when = 1 value = -1 }
        command = { type = relation which = LAT value = 50 }
        command = { type = relation which = SOV value = -50 }
    }
}

}

How do you trigger event 99990924?

Mexbuild · Sep 27, 2017

By console. Just because in the game it will be triggered by SOV.

I finally found the problem... In the previos events, each member get a local Member_EL flag and in the last event I wrote EL_Member. Excuse me for my foolishness.

I'm glad it worked.

Hi everybody, I have another question for you!

First of all let me present you the header of the event concerned:

Code:

event = {
    id = 11007
    random = no
    country = ENG

        trigger = {
        flag = CAN_no_IP
        OR = {
        flag = AST_no_IP
        }
        OR = {
        flag = SAF_no_IP
        }
        OR = {
        flag = IRE_no_IP
        }
        }

    name = "The Dominions decline Imperial Preference"
    desc = "EVT_11007_DESC"
    style = 2
      picture = "imperial_preference"
    date = { day = 13 month = may year = 1937 }
    offset = 6
    deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1939 }

    action = {
        name = "Dammit!"

What I want to do is: if any of these flags are activated (not necessarily all, it can be either one, two, three or four of them) then the event should fire.
Obviously, it is not working and I don't know what to do. Complex triggers are new to me and I'm eager to learn, so if anyone could help me a little, it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
TheRem

trigger = {

OR = {

flag = CAN_no_IP
flag = AST_no_IP
flag = SAF_no_IP
flag = IRE_no_IP

}

It works perfectly thank you!

Another question:
I want a same event to happen to multiple TAGs but when I'm using this...

Code:

event = {
    id = 11001
    random = no
    TAG =  { CAN AST SAF IRE BUR U87 PAK IND }

    name = "1937 Imperial Conference"
    desc = "EVT_11000_DESC"
    style = 2
      picture = "imperial_conference"

    date = { day = 13 month = may year = 1937 }

    action = {
        name = "Shall we begin?"
        command = { type = dissent value = -0.1 }
    }
}

... It only fires for a random TAG among the list.
Any idea of what's wrong?

Mexbuild · Sep 28, 2017

Add all = yes after random.

Eginhard 38 · Sep 28, 2017

About your second event, I suppose it is triggered through a command in another event, as it lacks a trigger section. If yes, I suggest you duplicate the said command for each country, like this :

Code:

command = { type = event which = 11001 where = CAN }
command = { type = event which = 11001 where = AST }
command = { type = event which = 11001 where = SAF }
command = { type = event which = 11001 where = IRE }
command = { type = event which = 11001 where = BUR }
command = { type = event which = 11001 where = U87 }
command = { type = event which = 11001 where = PAK }
command = { type = event which = 11001 where = IND }

EDIT : Mexbuild proved to be both faster and wiser.

Not sure to understand...

Like this:

Code:

event = {
   id = 11001
    random = all = yes
    TAG =  { CAN AST SAF IRE BUR U87 PAK IND }

    name = "1937 Imperial Conference"
    desc = "EVT_11000_DESC"
    style = 2
      picture = "imperial_conference"

    date = { day = 13 month = may year = 1937 }

    action = {
        name = "Shall we begin?"
        command = { type = dissent value = -0.1 }
    }
}

Or like this:

Code:

event = {
   id = 11001
    random = no
    all = yes
    TAG =  { CAN AST SAF IRE BUR U87 PAK IND }

    name = "1937 Imperial Conference"
    desc = "EVT_11000_DESC"
    style = 2
      picture = "imperial_conference"

    date = { day = 13 month = may year = 1937 }

    action = {
        name = "Shall we begin?"
        command = { type = dissent value = -0.1 }
    }
}

Very well.

I have a new problem. My event:

event = {
id = 135460
random = no
trigger = {
NOT = {
atwar = yes

}

date = { day = 6 month = january year = 1936 }
name = "1936 Winter Olympics"
desc = "It's time for a great festival of sport! Winter Olympics starting in Garmisch-Partenkirchen today!"
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Hail to Heroes of our Nation"
ai_chance = 50
command = { type = dissent value = -1 }
command = { type = trigger which = 135461 }
}
action_b = {
name = "Not at this time"
ai_chance = 50
command = { type = dissent value = 3 }
}

}

Won't trigger, as it work as I check it with consol.

Also, savedebug say: ERROR : Unknown trigger type [date] in Mods\Battle Cry of Old Empires\db\events\Olimpic_Games.txt, line 13!

mccarty.geoff · Oct 1, 2017

trigger = { atwar = no }
You didn't have a closing brace for your trigger container and there isn't any reason to have a not operator when atwar can just be set to no.

Aniknk · Oct 1, 2017

Thx, but still not trigger. Event number 135460 [] couldn't be fired because it has been slept!

mccarty.geoff · Oct 1, 2017

You should need a country tag and offset+deathdate for most time triggered events.

event = {
id = 135460
tag = { AST AUS BEL BUL CAN CZE ENG EST FIN FRA GER GRE HOL HUN ITA JAP LAT LUX NOR POL ROM SPR SWE SCH TUR USA YUG }
trigger = { atwar = no }
date = { day = 6 month = february year = 1936 }
offset = 2
deathdate = { day = 16 month = february year = 1936 }
name = "1936 Winter Olympics"
desc = "It's time for a great festival of sport! Winter Olympics starting in Garmisch-Partenkirchen today!"
action_a = {
name = Participate
ai_chance = 99
command = { type = dissent value = -1 }
command = { type = trigger which = 135461 }
}
action_b = {
name = Withdraw
ai_chance = 1
command = { type = dissent value = 3 }
}
}

Arcangelus · Oct 3, 2017

That's only true if you don't want your event to trigger on a specific date.
The more likely problem is that, because it lacks a "persistent = yes" section, it triggers for a single nation (if I had to guess and there are no wars, AFG)

Aniknk · Oct 5, 2017

OK, thank you guys, but I still don't know how should this event look like to work. It should be specifed for every country with it's ID? Because I've write some event befor, and it fire with date 01.01.1936. It look like this:

event = {
id = 135400
picture = ""
style = 1

trigger = { ai = no }

date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
name = "Welcome to your cabinet"
desc = "From now on you will manage the country you have choosed. In our timeframe is located a few big players with whom you have to be reckoned with. I talking about the Tripple Aliance between Russia, Austria, and Prussia, supported by the forces of South German kingdoms, an alliance of Commonwealth with the Republic of France. Watch out! Here comes the darkest hour in which Empires will raise the battle cry!"

action_a = {
name = "You can rest now"
command = { type = trigger which = 100000 }
}
}

And it work...
