Is it possible for multiple pictures for the same event?

Like a group of say five pictures, and whenever the event occurs one of them is randomly displayed, or do I have to make the event five times and associate one picture each?

I haven't tried, but apparently you can override the picture in a desc = { } block.
And in case multiple desc = { } block would match based on their triggers, one will be chosen randomly.

Here's one of the (rare) vanilla examples with picture inside desc = { }, in ze_lunatic.txt:

### Horse Chancellor
character_event = {
   id = ZE.15000
   border = GFX_event_normal_frame_religion
   picture = GFX_evt_courier

   desc = {
       trigger = {
           has_dlc = "Horse Lords"
           is_nomadic = yes
       }

       text = EVTDESC6317
       picture = GFX_evt_horse_friend
   }
   desc = {
       trigger = {
           NAND = {
               has_dlc = "Horse Lords"
               is_nomadic = yes
           }
       }

       text = EVTDESC6317
       picture = GFX_evt_courier
   }
(...)

Thank you. You're cool.

Update: I couldn't make it work, or I did it incorrectly. I put 5 desc with the same triggers but different pictures then tested the event 10 times and all 10 it just showed the picture last on the list.

You could try and add an immediate block that has a random list that will set one of five character flags and then have each of your different event picture descs check for one of those flags so you will always get a random one if the game is not correctly picking a random one.
Before you do that are you checking the event giving a different picture with the same character on the same day as I imagine if you do that the reason you are getting the same one is because the random seed has not changed. Try checking with a variety of characters on different days and you may get it to work properly

I tried it on a different character every time, and the days were ticking normally. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that other thing.
