Event changing Russia into USSR in MDS 1.5

[Conscrapt]

Hi. I have very little event experience and could use some help with this event that's driving me crazy:wacko:

I thought I had it figured out, it made sense. But the event makes my game lock up at the loading screen.

I'm trying to make an event that causes Russia to grant independence to the USSR and give them moscow and cause a civil war.

	event = { 		
	    country = RUS 		
	    id = 48105 		
	    random = no 		
	    style = 0
            picture = "default"		
			
	    name = "March Revolution" 		
	    desc = "The workers of moscow have proclaimed independence and declared the Russian Soviet Federative Republic. They call upon the communist parties of all former-republics to revolt!" 		

      date = { day = 22 month = march year = 2003 }
      offset = 2
      deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 2019 }
	
	    action_a = { 		
	        name = "Let the capitalists tremble!" 		
		command = { type = independence which = SOV value = 0 } #value 0	
		command = { type = civil_war which = SOV }
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = SOV value = 94		
	    } 		
	}

Sorry if this is a noobish question! I can't figure this out o

This line

command = { type = independence which = SOV value = 0 }

releases as much as possible of SOV as a new nation (in this case your country will cease to be). This line

command = { type = civil_war which = SOV }

releases only part of SOV as a new nation and also declares war on it.
Ergo, remove the independence-line and you'll be fine.

Alright, it works now. But, when the event fires, Moscow isn't given to the USSR.

Also I changed the value for the seceded province to 175.

Maybe because you're lacking a }.

 

[Conscrapt]

Maybe because you're lacking a }.

Yeah, I added that because I realized it was making me crash earlier. Still, nothing happens when the event fires.

Maybe it has something to do with Modern Day Scenario? I'm pretty sure I added all the USSR country info..

What if you make a second event that secedes the province?

EDIT: Are you sure the province isn't seceded to SOV already? If you have troops there, they will just re-take the province as soon as it changes ownership.

I'll try that


Yeah, I was thinking that too. I tried strategic redeploying them somewhere else before the event fired. I didn't have any luck

Okay, I think I know what the problem is. When the event fires it doesn't say 'Secede [provice] to Soviet Union'

EDIT: I'm wondering if MDS took out the USSR someway. I noticed when I was going through the files that there was no country info for the USSR in the MDS scenario folder. Also its flag and shield were changed in the GFX folder.

EDIT2: I changed the tag for secedeprovince from SOV to SPA. I can secede moscow to spain fine, just not the soviet union.

 

[Hallsten]

Maybe you can't secede provinces to countries you're at war with. Try to just surrender control of the province to SOV.

 

[Conscrapt]

no, didn't work. this is really confusing.

 

[Sledgehammer7]

Is it maybe because Moscow is your capital that you cant give it to them?

 

[Conscrapt]

I could give to to Spain fine. Also I tried a few other provinces.

 

[Sledgehammer7]

Mmm. Alright, here's my theory. The problem is cause you're trying to secede the province in the same event where you're creating the country that it is to be seceded to. The event starts making the USSR, and while its doing that, but not entirely finished, the game sees the secede command, checks to see if the USSR exists, which it doesn't yet, so it skips that.

Try having your original event, only add at the bottom a trigger to cause a second event. In the second event, you secede the province you want. I bet that this will now work, cause the first event will create the USSR and complete, then trigger the second, which will now have a valid target nation to secede too.

Whew. That sounded pretty smart, now heres hoping that it works.

 

[Conscrapt]

It would, I think. But I asked the MDS dev's and they said they used the SOV tag to refer to some pacific island nation.
