        }

}

It gives an error on line 23.. which is the line where it says

                command = { type = independence which = DDR value =  when = }

Can somebody help me, this is my first attempt at an event.

The event parser expects a value for the offset.

 

[gossamer]

thanks for the quick response... what am I supposed to put in the offset?

 

[unmerged(58571)]

Either remove it completely (and the event will always trigger on January 27, 1936, assuming DFR exists) or set it to the number of days you want to pass between check of the trigger conditions, in which case you also need a deathdate which should be greater than date + offset.

depends on what you want to do them.
from the wiki:

type = independence which = [country tag] value = [0/1] when = [0/1]
value 0 - units in the area change allegiance, 1 - they don't. , when 0=normal, 1= force them to be democratic

Heh, I didn't even look beyond the faulty offset

 

[gossamer]

Ok I have it firing at least, but the war part of the event doesn't work. Both choices just give indepedence. I want the second event to independence then declare war on the newly independent country.

 

[Manziel]

some commands cant be used together. best solution is to trigger a second event that declares war

 

[gossamer]

So I just put another event a day later declaring war on the newly independent countries.

 

[Manziel]

i personally prefer to use the trigger-command to trigger the second event just after the first

 

[gossamer]

How do you do that?

 

[Manziel]

command = { type = trigger which = [ID of the second event] }

Try changing the order of the commands...sometimes the order does matter.

EDIT: Hmm, just looked at your event again.

1) You don't need the trigger...the DFR has to exist for the event to even be checked because of the

country = DFR

line.

2) You are trying to create a civil war between the DFR and the DDR, so just add

regular_id = DFR

to the DDR entry in revolt.txt and use

command = { type = civil_war which = DDR }
