What command do I use so that option a has no effect?

##############################################

command = { }
Btw, you really should use code tags to preserve indentation.

Ok, here is where I get to sound dumb.. what is a code tag?

First off, thanks for your help guys. Here is my next question, if you look at the below two events here is the problem I am having, how do I get event 77704 to fire only if event 77703 action_a is chosen?

Code:

In event 77703 action_a you need to set a flag

Code:

command = { type = local_setflag which = Flint_Riots }

In the trigger for 77704 you need to add a check against that flag

Code:

local_flag = Flint_Riots

Ok, here is what I have. However, I get a fault when I enter it in like this. What am I missing? (Thanks for your help by the way.)

Seriously, indentation is what makes code readable.

Could you do me a huge favour and rewrite the event, highliting where I am messing up. Right now I just don't get what you are trying to tell me. Where am I suposed to be putting the indentations? I think it will make more sense to me if I can see it. I know, you are probably shouting.. how can he not get it???? Today is the first time that I have actually been able to write events that work! Well, some of them anyway.

OK, I can't see anything wrong with that line in your events, but it could be that your Description is too long.
Try this...

You can try entering a shorter description. IIRC you are limited to 255 characters.
OR, you can add the event name and event description to any of the *_text.csv files in the config folder.

Can any body confirm my suspicion that the event decription can be more than 255 characters in the *_text.csv while being limited to 255 characters in the event file?

unmerged(58571) · Dec 15, 2007

I have used considerably longer descriptions than 255 characters without any problems.

ADukes · Dec 15, 2007

The limit is 528 characters.
