event to create ship with attached brigade

[Gringoesteban]

Please see the event below which was written to give the Superheavy Carrier Shinano to the Imperial Japanese Navy on the appropriate date. See the bolded part of the command where a CAG is attached to the carrier. When the ship is in the force pool, the CAG is attached. However, when the ship is deployed to a port, the CAG completely disappears. Also, it is impossible to ever attach a CAG to the ship, even if one is built or detatched from another carrier. The same thing happens whenever a ship with attached brigade is created by event. For example, I created the Yamato with an improved hull attached but the improved hull disappeared when I deployed the Yamato to a port.

What happens if you add the create corp command and assign it to a corp/fleet?

type = add_corps which = [name] value = [land/air/naval] when = [leader ID] where = [province_ID]

Is it attached then?

Edit:
Might want to add a trigger to check if you own the province you add the fleet to...

That did not work, either. The ship appears with no CAG attachment and then no CAG can ever be attached to it in the future.

Seems to be an engine bug, the CAG is there but not visible and probably also does not effect the combat values.
Better use the carrier as a dormat division set up in the scenario file and wake it up by that event.
To simulate inductral production needed for building this large ship you should also add a large chunk of supplies to the costs. Just using res is not really fair because you have them sitting in stockpile but you didn't produce anything with them.
