Knowing my history with events, it's probably something simple and I just can't see it.
For some reason this event just won't fire.

Both triggers happen and I wait a good two months for this thing to fire and it won't
I get no error message on startup and the debugger shows nothing wrong with it.

Are those event number correct? The event you posted has an extra digit, 8994**** whereas the triggers are 899****

See, I knew it would be something stupid. Thanks for the help. I always miss little things like that.

 

[lordmackie]

Surprise surprise, I have another one.

I swear I cross reference these with other similar events..

event = { #Title
id = 8994015
random = no
country = ITA

style = 0
picture = "soviet_reinforcements"
name = "Title"
desc = "Description"
action = {
name = "name"
command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
command = { type = delete_unit which = -1 }
}
}

The event before it has this command

command = { type = event which = 8994015 where = -1 when = 17 }

The event with that command fires correctly. It even says that the event will fire but it never does.

It should fire exactly 17 days after the event holding the command above.

 

[Arcangelus]

Let's call the caller event "1°event" and the non-functional "2°event".
Maybe the country receiver of the 1°event is different from ITA. In that case (and AFAIK) the command is trying to call the 2° event for the TAG of the country that received the 1°event, an event only valid to ITA (so nothing happens).
Try replacing

command = { type = event which = 8994015 where = -1 when = 17 }

For this

command = { type = event which = 8994015 where = ITA when = 17 }

They are both designated for country = ITA

Use save_date = yes on the first event and then have a trigger for the second that includes event = { id = xxxx days = 16 }
With an offset of 1 I think that would make the second fire on midnight 17 days later (test it)

 

[^_AC_^]

Are you sure the second event has valid commands? An event without a single valid command will never fire.

 

[Trunyx]

I have looked up in different sources but i didn't found out how do add IC to a province? For example if I want to add 2 IC to munich (MapID: 179)...
command = { type = ???....

 

[^_AC_^]

There is a command to add buildings, IC among them. I can't remember the exact syntax, but you can look at DHFull/db/events/generic_decision.txt and find the "Public job" decision which gives +1 IC.

command = { type = ???....

In your case is:

command = { type = construct which = IC where = 179 value = 2 }

Ah nice thanks

Did all that, still won't fire

I'm starting to thing that is a problem with the commands cause now I have the problem. Trying to use this decision in "The Napoleon Legacy" mod to capture the enemy fleet, nothing happens. But if I manually trigger the event 66700 or 667001 for TRA, it works.

event = {
	id = 666013
	country = CHL
	random = no
	decision = { control = { province = 2014 } control = { province = 2015 } control = { province = 2017 } war = { country = TRA } }
	trigger = { control = { province = 2014 } control = { province = 2015 } control = { province = 2017 } war = { country = TRA } }

	name = "Capture of enemy fleet"
	desc = "We have captured the Peru-Bolivian fleet. What should we do with it?"
	style = 1

	date = { day = 6 month = january year = 1936 }
	offset = 30
	deathdate = { day = 6 month = january year = 1950 }

	action = {
		name = "Que se una a nuestra armada"
		command = { type = belligerence which = CHL value = 2 }
		command = { type = dissent value = -1 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 667100 }
		}
	action = {
		name = "Desmontenla"
		command = { type = relation which = TRA value = -30 }
		command = { type = money value = 100 }
		command = { type = metalpool value = 1000 }
		command = { type = oilpool value = 200 }
		command = { type = supplies value = 800 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 667101 }
		}
	}

event = {
	id = 667100
	country = TRA
	random = no
	persistent = yes

	name = "Our fleet has been capturated"
	desc = "Our fleet has been capturated by the chilean forces."
	style = 1

	action = {
		name = "Mierda" # What? It was allowed in french. Why not in spanish?
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		}
	}

event = {
	id = 667101
	country = TRA
	random = no

	name = "Our fleet has been destroyed"
	desc = "Our fleet has been destroyed by the chilean forces."
	style = 1

	action = {
		name = "Mierda"
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		}
	}

EDIT: Add a command = { } at the fist line after the name = "". I will work now.

 

[^_AC_^]

Did all that, still won't fire

Post the two events.

@Arcangelus: are you sure you're fulfilling the trigger? An event fires if at least one command of one action is valid, and they look valid.

Pretty sure. Is a decision after all, with the decision and trigger part identical.
I already fix it thought. Just add a "command = { }" as first command, and work. No idea why doesn't work without it.

To clarify, instead of:

event = {
	id = 667100
	country = TRA
	random = no
	persistent = yes

	name = "Our fleet has been capturated"
	desc = "Our fleet has been capturated by the chilean forces."
	style = 1

	action = {
		name = "Mierda" # What? It was allowed in french. Why not in spanish?
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		}
	}

event = {
	id = 667101
	country = TRA
	random = no

	name = "Our fleet has been destroyed"
	desc = "Our fleet has been destroyed by the chilean forces."
	style = 1

	action = {
		name = "Mierda"
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		}
	}

It must be used:

event = {
	id = 667100
	country = TRA
	random = no

	name = "Our fleet has been capturated"
	desc = "Our fleet has been capturated by the chilean forces."
	style = 1

	action = {
		name = "Mierda"
		command = {  } #This was added
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		command = { type = switch_allegiance which = -2 where = CHL }
		}
	}

event = {
	id = 667101
	country = TRA
	random = no

	name = "Our fleet has been destroyed"
	desc = "Our fleet has been destroyed by the chilean forces."
	style = 1

	action = {
		name = "Mierda"
		command = {  } #This was added
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		command = { type = delete_unit which = -2 }
		}
	}

 

[^_AC_^]

Yes, the empty command section works.
So, you can take that as decision but the AI would not take it?

Also, please remove persisten = yes from event 667100 since it is called only once anyway.

 

[Arcangelus]

I haven't let the IA try. I left the trigger more to contemplate the possibility than to make the IA actually use it. It not so easy to reach that situation without micromanage a little.
I added the persistent part when I was out of ideas. Removed (in my version anyway).

Now the question: Why the event work with a empty command but doesn't without it? A bug?

EDIT: Post 111

 

[^_AC_^]

I don't understand what the problem is anymore.

 

[Arcangelus]

I don't understand what the problem is anymore.

This is what I get for keep answering. My problem was already solved with the inclusion of a command = {}. That I was trying to say: That the problems caused by the commands switch_allegiance and delete_unit are solved with the inclusion of a empty command.
And then I asked why this happen. Thats all.

@lordmackie: Just add a command = { } as the fist command in the event that erase troops and it will work.

EDIT: Now I realize that this answer can be considered insulting. I wasn't my intention being rude. Sorry.
And that I probably should have stopped posting about that event after I found the solution. I was just trying to show the solution if anyone else has the same problem.
