I give up, help with an event.

[unmerged(18148)]

This:

##########################
### Exploiting aristocrats
##########################
event = {
 id = 1000000
 random = yes
 invention = no
 name = "EVT_1000000_NAME"
 desc = "EVT_1000000_DESC"
 trigger = {
	NOT = { constitution = { type = proletarian_dictatorship }}
	NOT = { government = { type = communist }}
	NOT = { policy = { type = laissez_faires }}
	NOT = { reform = { type = maximum_workhours level = 24 }}
	NOT = { reform = { type = trade_unions level = none }}
	civilized = yes
	slavery = no
	atwar = no
	}
 style = 0
 picture = organisation
 action_a = {
	name = "Stop the exploiting"
	ai_chance = 60
	command = { type = pop_militancy which = aristocrats value = 1 where = -1 }
	command = { type = pop_dominant_issue which = aristocrats value = slavery where = -3 }
	}
 action_b = {
	name = "Their masters have the right"
	ai_chance = 10
	command = { type = pop_militancy which = labourers value = 1 where = -3 }
	}
 action_c = {
	name = "Try to mediate"
	ai_chance = 30
	command = { type = prestige value = -3 }
	}
}

Loads correctly, but doesn't fire when prompted on the console.

The events.txt file looks like this:

# Random Events
# event = "db\events\randomevents.txt"
event = "db\events\economic_events.txt"
event = "db\events\political_events.txt"
event = "db\events\campaign_events.txt"
event = "Event workshop\my_r_events.txt"

I fire with 1881 Spain... All triggers are met, and there's no reason for the commands not to work.

Any help?

 

[HMS Enterprize]

NOT = { policy = { type = laissez_faires }}

Isnt it supposed to be laissez_faire?

This might not be the thing but it was the only thing I noticed that might be wrong.

Nope, no luck.

Used Spoonist's program, so the "laissez_faires" thing was put by it. Anyway, either with or whithout the final "s", the event loads correctly but does not fire.

I know you're saying it loads correctly, but have you tried putting it into an existing events file? I would be more confident about its success... it looks to me like your "Event Workshop" folder might be causing problems.

Indeed, I would quickly try putting it into the normal events folder... then if this works you can put it in a sub-folder there;

event = "db\events\EventWorkshop\my_r_events.txt"

I would also take out the space to make it EventWorkshop as some programmes dont like spaces

OK, guys... I think I have it:

NOT = { reform = { type = maximum_workhours level = 24 }}

That "level" word gave the clue... It's not that level, but at least that level. No country would meet the trigger, since all countries have at least a 24 workhour limit (no limit). :wacko:

Put it at 14, and worked.

Many thanks for your answers.
