Different Question.

[Klein001]

To start off with, If it appears to you that I am breaking any rules, Please let me know so that I may correct myself.

Now then, If I wanted to create an event which would give me army and/or navy units, what would go into the coding for the option?

(i.e. how would i code a spawning of units?)

Go to Rome\event folder and open file named 'flavor'. It contains a perfect example

 

[Klein001]

for land units, yes. But the triremes are followed by a number, should I change it to 'trireme = this', or should I just go looking for the respective province?

 

[Fu.Th.Sy.]

''trireme = 139'' means it will be spawned in Epirus which is province number 139. You can also delete ''ruler = {'' and put the number instead of ''THIS'' so that units will not be automatically assigned to the ruler.

 

[Klein001]

personally, what I would like is a generic event which would be able to happen to any player in any country.

 

[Klein001]

in addition, if I added any_owned = { port = yes ... } and included a number of triremes, would that necessarily restrict it to provinces with ports?

edit: if I understand the syntax correctly, by putting 'ruler = {}' and ending any statements with THIS, aslong as ai = no is one of my triggers, is it assigning an army to my country and putting my ruler at it's head, or what?

edit2: just in case, here is the event script:

country_event = {
		
	id = 600003
	
	trigger = {
		ai = no
		any_province = {
			any_empty_neighbor_province = {
				barbarian_power = 1000
			}
		war = yes
		}
	}	
	
	title = "Cheat Units"
	desc = "You shall recieve some units."
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 4000
	}

	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA7050"

		ruler = {
			cavalry = THIS
			cavalry = THIS
			cavalry = THIS
			cavalry = THIS
			cavalry = THIS
			heavy_infantry = THIS
			heavy_infantry = THIS
		 	heavy_infantry = THIS
		 	heavy_infantry = THIS
			heavy_infantry = THIS
			archers = THIS 
			archers = THIS 
			archers = THIS 
			archers = THIS 
			archers = THIS 
			horse_archers = THIS
			horse_archers = THIS
			horse_archers = THIS
			horse_archers = THIS
			horse_archers = THIS

		}

For my first question of my previous post, the research i have done upon the matter tells me that it might, depending on wether or not 'port = yes' can be used as something other than a trigger(not even the events i looked at could tell me that), but it would not spawn the boats in any one province with a port.
Instead it would spawn them in all provinces with ports. I have found that if you use

random_owned = {}

, it would choose a random province that you own, furthermore, if you include within the brackets

limit = { owned_by = this (newline) controlled_by = this}

and perhaps include 'port = yes', you can limit the event to any province which you own and (perhaps) control.

for my second question, yes, if you include a bunch of unit models within a group such as 'ruler = {}', by ending each of the statements with THIS, you are assigning each unit created to the ruler.

Every time I played against Epirus their leader was in command of the army, so I think you are correct here.
