Well, just got the game, got to say I love it. But, like I do, I went through to find some neat alt. history events. Stumbled across this one, which I wanted to try out.
#########################################################################
# The Revolution has come!

#event = {
# id = 3718
# random = no
# country = USA
#
# name = "EVT_3718_NAME"
# desc = "EVT_3718_DESC"
# style = 0
#
# trigger = {
# government = democratic
# dissent = 65
# }
#
# date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
# offset = 360 # Check for this every 25 days
# deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1947 }
#
# action_a = {
# name = "Earl Browder (Com.)"
# command = { type = dissent value = -40 }
# command = { type = headofstate which = 6047 }
# command = { type = headofgovernment which = 6048 }
# command = { type = foreignminister which = 6049 }
# command = { type = armamentminister which = 6050 }
# command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 6051 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3709 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3710 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3711 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3712 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3713 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3714 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3715 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3716 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3717 }
# }
# action_b = {
# name = "Norman Thomas (Soc.)"
# command = { type = dissent value = -20 }
# command = { type = headofstate which = 6010 }
# command = { type = headofgovernment which = 6011 }
# command = { type = foreignminister which = 6012 }
# command = { type = armamentminister which = 6013 }
# command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 6014 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3709 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3710 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3711 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3712 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3713 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3714 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3715 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3716 }
# command = { type = sleepevent which = 3717 }
# }
#}
However, using the standard f12 event 3718 does not fire the event, nor does jacking the sucker up to 65 dissent and firing the event. Is there something more I am missing in the coding that keeps me from firing this event? (its been a while since I have worked with events, maybe 2-3 years)
I am also having issues getting the coup d'etat event to have any impact. It lowers dissent, but does not actually change the government (at least in the USA)
