event won't fire

[unmerged(61487)]

i've tried to add an event to the modern day scenario but that event simply won't fire. so i would like to ask what i did wrong,here is the event:

event = {
id = 2105
random = no
country = AUS


name = "Presidential Elections"
desc = "On the 25th of April 2004 Austrias new president is elected. The candidates are the former foreign Minister Benita-Ferrero Waldner of the ÖVP and Heinz Fischer of the SPÖ."
style = 0
picture = "demonstrations"
trigger = { exists = AUS
atwar = no
}
date = { day = 25 month = april year = 2004 }
offset = 5
deathdate = { day = 30 month = april year = 2004 }


action_a = {
name = "Choose Heinz Fischer"
ai_chance = 60
command = { type = headofstate which = 90010 }
command = { type = foreignminister which = 90012 }
command = { type = domestic which = political left value = -1 }
}
action_b = {
name = "Choose Benita-Ferrero Waldner"
ai_chance = 40
command = { type = headofstate which = 90015 }
command = { type = foreignminister which = 90012 }
}
}

Make the offset smaller. Now it looks for event triggers on the same day the event has deathdate. Also, use code tags when posting events to preserve intendation and make it more readable.

Is it in an existing event file or did you make a new event file. If its new remember to add the event file name to the events.txt file.
