Event problem

[unmerged(53815)]

'Lo,

I've been trying to make an event similar that is to trigger by the Sudenteland-thing (first the "Claim Sudetenland!" - then the Chezchs accept, then my event) and it's supposed to be like the "Install Tiso in Slovakia" but instead creating an independent Bohemia (...don't ask...) Anyways, I've managed to make the country Bohemia but my event won't fire somehow.
This is what it looks like, anyways:

event = {
	id = 2003
	random = no
	country = GER
	# Triggered by CZE 2200
	name = "EVT_2003_NAME"
	desc = "EVT_2003_DESC"
	style = 0
	picture = "Sudetenland"

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME2003A" #Ok
		ai_chance = 25
		command = { type = dissent value = -10 }
		command = { type = manpowerpool value = 100 }
		command = { type = domestic which = defense_lobby value = 1 }
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME2003B" #Independent Bohemia
		ai_chance = 75
		command = { type = independence which = U01 value = 1 }
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = U01 value = 466 } #Strakonice
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = U01 value = 467 } #Tabor
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = U01 value = 471 } #Usti
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = U01 value = 472 } #Liberec
		command = { type = secedeprovince which = U01 value = 474 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 102003 }
}

I've been vacuming HoI2 wiki for clues but still can't see why it won't work. Also, I've created an event 102003 which is basically ministers etc for Bohemia and put it in "bohemia.txt" I also added the line "bohemia.txt" to the events file.

Any help would be very thankfully recieved!

One bracket at the end is missing.

in what manner will it not work? Does it produce an independent Bohemia? (if not make sure you have an entry for Bohemia in the revolt.txt (if you havent already done so) and try this command:

command = { type = independence which = U01 value = 1 when = 0 }

The secede commands may not work properly as they are giving land to a country that hasnt been made yet (I may be wrong here, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't), so if it isn't seceding land to Bohemia you need to put those commands in a seperate event.

And you are missing a closing bracket.

It's working great now - thanks

However, I just wondered about this:

name = "EVT_3718_NAME"
desc = "EVT_3718_DESC"

How do you customize them? I other words change the text, picture etc?

the text is found in the event_text.csv (usually - some are in the extra_text.csv iirc)

Open up event_text.csv with a text editor (like notepad, do NOT use excel) and use the find function to scroll down to the EVT... entry. You will find the text there. You can edit it (BUT remember not to delete ANY semi-colon ( or else there will be errors).

Event pictures can be found in GFX/events_pics folder. You can add new ones and have

picture = "piccy name"

in the event to show that piccy (but they have to be the same dimensions as the existing ones I believe).

You can also do it like this

name = "My Name "
desc = "O, i think somethig happened! "

You can also do it like this

name = "My Name "
desc = "O, i think somethig happened! "

Indeed you can.
Although there is a certain limit to the amount of text you can place in the desc ="". If it more than 5 lines (roughly), it will cause error reports (even though there is technically nothing wrong with the event). So if you are putting in a short one liner or so, it is easier to just put it in the event. But longer text MUST be placed in one of the text files in the config folder.
