Grrrr... Why dont things work

You mean they don't work when you try to trigger them manually by hitting f12 and typing "event xxxx"? If so they won't fire unless all the triggers are met. Before 1.03 you could trigger any event whenever you wanted, but not in 1.03.

Neither way. Example: I just made an event for the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. I make it so that the trigger is the US controlling Mexico City. I make it, it looks fine to me, I put it in my USA events folder and go to my save game. I already control Mexico City so I figure it should fire pretty soon, but it doesnt. So I do F12 and see if it goes - nothing.

Weird. Well first post the event so we know if it should work or not. If you post it soon I'll look it over, if not I'll look tomorrow if no one else has.

I'll try them out. You're 2nd event has two action_as though.

Well it worked fine for me, although you should add lees ferry(531) the the list of land mexico gives up. You've been putting the events in victoria/db/events/usa.txt (for the first) and mexico.txt (for the latter), right? I notice you said you put them in the country folder in your first post.

I was trying to get it to work on the VIP grand campaign so I must have been using an id that was already being used. Because I started up a vanilla grand campaign and it worked fine. Thanks for the help.

No, if you used a already used ID you'd get an error message on loading. Your problem was all VIPs events are loaded from within the VIP scenario folder, so you'd have to put them in Victoria\scenarios\VIPscen\events\<country>.txt.
