Help createing a custom event?

[unmerged(53584)]

3 Questions eh?
1.Is it possible to create custom events for countries that have none?
2.What event command{s} etc might I have to use to cause a country to leave the game forever.
3.unrelated but still a question, how can I get custom leaders to appear for my land/sea/air units? What dates do I have to put in order for them to appear?

My Senario.
I am playing as Estonia in the 1936 Grand Campaign, my event is the founding of the Last Alliance which would amalgamate all the baltic countries into an enlarged Estonia. This shall be triggered by Lithuania's accepting Germany's claim on Memel, yet the whole episode should run exatly the same as what happens to austria in it's Anshluss {sp?} Thus I would have to create the events for Estonia,Latvia and Lithuania et all.
Yet I am still not sure how to make the countries give me there territories and then dissapear for the rest of the game.

Any help/pointers to other mods that might help me would be appreciated.

look at the events and triggers in the event_commands.txt in the docs folder. Also have a look at the HoI2 wiki on modding http://hoi2.nsen.ch/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

answers to your questions

1) yes. create an event text file (call it what you like, e.g. estonia.txt) that will hold your events. For the game to run it, you also have to add its entry in the events.txt file (open it and you will see a list of event names, add your estonia.txt to it).

2) command = { type = inherit which = x } (where x is the country three letter tag) will annex that country. If you only want to secede provinces from the country to your country you can use; command = { type = secedeprovince which = x value = y } (where x is the country you will be giving the province TO (so the event command is for the country giving away the province) and y is the province id number (can be found by going into the console by pressing F12 and typing in 'showid', when you hover your cursor over a province it will show the id number in the bottom right of the screen)

3) leaders will go into the countries leader file found in the db/leaders folder. Open it up using a text editor...

Brede;4900;EST;1930;1930;1990;1990;2;5;4;0;0;5;0;L4900;1930;1940;x

this is the leaders start date. The other entries are described on the first line of the file.

Thanks!

Thanks for the help there<and over here to!>
The events work like a charm, though it will take sometime before I see if my
event trigger will work like it should since I only did a test fire of it just now, it's nice to be here and all I can say is

You haven't seen the last of this Moron!
