free units for the AI

[OsirisReborn]

ok i was trying to make the required event texts when i saw the new post , they are different .... uh oh

 

[OsirisReborn]

ok why does his say 1,2,3,4 in the command part
and why does one have a location and the other doesnt
rrrrrr u both have already taken more time than i thought u woudl
what is required and what can i change , obviously i can put what ever i want in the "punk punk " part but what about the rest?

Use Permanganate's version of the code, modified to add a couple of Strategic Bombers as well as the four Interceptors, like so:

event = {
	id = 90001
	random = no

	name = "Reinforcements"
	desc = "Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, you are lucky, punk. Have some free units, punk."
        picture = "assistance"
	style = 0

	action_a = {
		name = "I am lucky, but I'm a punk"
		command = { type = add_division value = interceptor when = 0 }
		command = { type = add_division value = interceptor when = 0 }
		command = { type = add_division value = interceptor when = 0 }
		command = { type = add_division value = interceptor when = 0 }
                command = { type = add_division value = strategic_bomber when = 0 }
                command = { type = add_division value = strategic_bomber when = 0 }
	}
}

Use your mouse to highlight all the above code:

Press <control>-c to copy it. Open a new Notepad, click into the text window, and press <control>-v to paste the above code into it.

Click on File > Save As and save it into the events directory My Computer > Local Disk / Program Files / Paradox Interactive / Hearts of Iron 2 / db / events using the name : more_events.txt

Now go up one directory to /db and (still in Notepad) click on File > Open and pick events.txt

Right at the end of that file, add two lines:

# Custom Events
event = "db\events\more_events.txt"

Notice that those slashes are actually BACK-SLASHES... \ not /

Now save it and exit.

When you reload your HOI-2 save and start playing, you can hit F12 and type :

event 90001 ENG

... and that will give England four Interceptors and two Strat Bombers, in their Deployment queue... it might take them a day to put them on the map.

ok heres what i did please look at it and tell me if i either :
a : succesefully figured it out
b : no , your a dumbass change x and x


ok shit i archived my 2 docs but how to attatch ?

 

[OsirisReborn]

nvrmind maybe it will fit heres the first

# AI Events
event = "db\events\AI_capital_move.txt"
event = "db\events\AI_ministers.txt"
event = "db\events\AI_sliders.txt"
event = "db\events\AI_Inherit_Chi.txt"
event = "db\events\AI_minorshutinvasion.txt"
event = "db\events\AI_reactive.txt"
event = "db\events\AI_CHI_spheres.txt"
event = "db\events\AI_revolters.txt"

# New 1.3 Events
event = "db\events\vichy_new.txt"
event = "db\events\colonial_release.txt"
event = "db\events\japanmanpower.txt"
event = "db\events\bulgaria.txt"
# Custom Events

event = "db\events\more_events.txt"

and the second

event = {
id = 90001
random = no

name = "The RAF recieves reinforcements"
desc = "A new wing of bomberss has joined the RAF."
picture = "assistance"
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Fine"
command = { type = add_division value = strategic_bomber when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = strategic_bomber when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = strategic_bomber when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = strategic_bomber when = 0 }
}
}

event = {
id = 90002
random = no

name = "The RAF recieves reinforcements"
desc = "A new wing of interceptors has joined the RAF."
picture = "assistance"
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Fine"
command = { type = add_division value = interceptor when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = interceptor when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = interceptor when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = interceptor when = 0 }
}
}

event = {
id = 90003
random = no

name = "The soviet Union mobilises the Siberians!"
desc = "A new division of infantry has joined the red army."
picture = "assistance"
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Fine"
command = { type = add_division value = infantry when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = infantry when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = infantry when = 0 }
command = { type = add_division value = infantry when = 0 }
}
}

ok ! looks like while i was workin u gave me super easy directs ! heh heh thnks a ton looks like the way i did it im giving the AI 4 of each with the commands ? and how do i know what version of interceptor infantry whatever it will get ?

 

[blue emu]

Yup... that looks fine... assuming that those three events (90001 to 90003) went into a file in the events directory called more_events.txt

You could add twenty or so more copy-and-paste russian divisions to event 90003, to save on the number of times you need to call it.

To call them, use :

F12 event 90001 ENG
F12 event 90002 ENG
F12 event 90003 SOV

Correct.

and how do i know what version of interceptor infantry whatever it will get ?

When you use this method to add a Division, it's ALWAYS the most modern model that they have researched.

 

[OsirisReborn]

wow thanx alot , no way i could have done that yesterday
thnk you both


how long u think before they will show up on statistics ?

 

[OsirisReborn]

also what was the function of "the raf recieves a new wing of interceptors" i didnt see that pop up or in game log ?

 

[blue emu]

thnk you both

No problem... "Super Easy-to-Follow Directions" is my middle name!

how long u think before they will show up on statistics ?

Should be pretty soon... it might be at the next 00:00 hours... or it might not be until they build a new unit and notice that there are units waiting in the deployment queue... it depends on how Paradox coded it.

also what was the function of "the raf recieves a new wing of interceptors" i didnt see that pop up or in game log ?

The "style = 0" parameter might have suppressed the log-message, since AI-only events are not reported to the log. Still, you need to include certain parameters in the event, even if they don't get used, to avoid confusing the AI.

 

[OsirisReborn]

ok thnk you i shall look for it , didnt happen at next 0:00

and i took your advise for 90003 (x 50)

 

[blue emu]

You could save and load as England, and see if the units are in the queue...

EDIT: just thought of something... you might have to add:

persistent = yes

... right after the : "random = no" line... so that you can call the event more than once.

 

[OsirisReborn]

i let it run 19 days and no new english fighters ?

 

[blue emu]

Save the game and load as England... see if they are there in the deployment queue.

You did call the event through the F12 console, yes?

<F12> event 90001 ENG

 

[OsirisReborn]

yeah something is off they arent showing up
i tried to type event 90001 GER and i didnt get any either
wonder what i did wrong?

 

[OsirisReborn]

<F12> event 90001 ENG

yes i tried F12 then typed event 90001 ENG then hit enter then closed screen i think by hitting f12 again
let it run 3 weeks
nada
i tried same thing but with GER
nada

[OsirisReborn]

ok i just realised 90001 is for str bombers and i redid it once so that should mean 8 new bombers
i let it run a month now and 1 str bomber has arrived ...cant tell if they built that regular tho

 

[OsirisReborn]

er...ehm
