How do I make an event run without pop-up box?

I'm making a stockpile limiting event and all is well except that the box pops up every time the event triggers, which is every day. How do I keep that from happening? I deleted the "style = 0" line and it didn't do anything.

Also, what do you think a reasonable stockpile limitation should be? 2000? 10000?

If its like any other event just right click on it and it give a list of options of how you would like it to come up, though I can't recall if you can eliminate that event from displaying at all or just move it to the log.

Thanks but that isn't working. Anyone have a stockpile limiting event that they could post, maybe?

Try using AI_EVENT as the event name.

That ugly pop-up box still rears its head. I found a better way to script the event, though, so it doesn't pop up so often.

You willing to share?

I only started modding a few days ago so be gentle.

event = {
id = 90210
random = no
persistent = yes

trigger = {
energy = 30000
}

name = "Stockpile Limitation - Energy"
desc = "Too much energy."
picture = "news_paper"
style = 0


date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 1
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1964 }

action_a = {
name = "OK"
command = { type = energypool value = -3000 }
}
}

event = {
id = 90211
random = no
persistent = yes

trigger = {
metal = 15000
}

name = "Stockpile Limitation - Metal"
desc = "Too much metal."
picture = "news_paper"
style = 0


date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 1
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1964 }

action_a = {
name = "OK"
command = { type = metalpool value = -1500 }
}
}

event = {
id = 90212
random = no
persistent = yes

trigger = {
oil = 3000
}

name = "Stockpile Limitation - Oil"
desc = "Too much oil."
picture = "news_paper"
style = 0


date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 1
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1964 }

action_a = {
name = "OK"
command = { type = oilpool value = -300 }
}
}

I figured on a 1 month supply for 500 base IC. It's generous but it's still much better than a ridiculous 300k+ stockpile. The oil event pops up a little frequently but that is necessary to keep the stockpile quite small and avoid too big a shock to the stockpile.
