Event_text.config errors

[Adonnus]

K, here's my event. The problem is that, I can't write an event in event_text in the Config folder without is screwing up somehow. The game displayed "UNKNOWN STRING WANTED" or just "EVT_8000000_NAME" instead of the actual thing. Problem is, one of these things, a seemingly random one, works, usually the EVT_8000000_ACTIONA one.

So, these descriptions and such won't show up.

#Foundation of the Gestapo
event = {
id = 8000000
random = no
country = GER
trigger = { ai = no }

date = { day = 6 month = march year = 1933 }
name = "EVT_8000000_NAME"
desc = "EVT_8000000_DESC"
style = 2
picture = "Wehrmacht"
action = {
name = "EVT_8000000_ACTIONA"
command = { type = dissent value = 1 } # -1
}
action = {
name = "EVT_8000000_ACTIONB"
command = { type = dissent value = 1 } # -1
}
}

EVT_8000000_NAME;;Foundation of the Gestapo;;;X
EVT_8000000_DESC;In January 1933 Hermann Göring was appointed head of the old Prussian Police and began filling it with Nazi Party members. On 26 April 1933 he reorganized the force's Amt III as the Gestapo a secret state police intended to serve the Nazi cause. The Gestapo had the authority to investigate cases of treason espionage sabotage and criminal attacks on the Nazi Party and Germany. The basic Gestapo law passed by the government in 1936 gave the Gestapo ability to operate without judicial oversight. The Gestapo was specifically exempted from responsibility to administrative courts where citizens normally could sue the state to conform to laws. As early as 1935 however a Prussian administrative court had ruled that the Gestapo's actions were not subject to judicial review.;;;X
EVT_8000000_ACTIONA;Very well;;;X
EVT_8000000_ACTIONB;This is not permitted;;;X

You don't have enough semi-colons at the end.

it should be

EXAMPLE_CODE;EXAMPLE_TEXT;;;;;;;;;;X

Yeah, I find I get this kind of thing from time to time, and when you study the code, line by line, there is nothing wrong with it...

So, you have to think like the computer?

The line: trigger = { ai = no }... why the double negative... I mean isn't the ai already automatically set to no?
... so I would remove it altogether, or do this;

trigger = {
ai = no
}
... I have found, especially in the AI files, that I have to do this, for stuff to work.

As for this bit:
name = "EVT_8000000_NAME"
desc = "EVT_8000000_DESC"

Very easy to drop or miscount a "0". Does it have to have so many figures?

At my last attempt, I would simply copy the same lines from another, working, event, and change the number to suit my new number. This usually works.

Also, put your events into Mods.csv, instead of events_text.csv as you'll end up with your events mixed up with DH events, and you don't want that, and also, it is easier to port your mod text, if it is all in the one place.

not much of a help, but some?

Thank you for both your suggestions, the events are now working perfectly.
