Is the lock division command broken

[DesertSnow]

I tried to create some events to make sure the AI always has a garrison is key areas, but the following command

command = { type = lock_division which = x value = y }

doesn't seem to work.

Am i doing sth wrong (e.g. wrong spelling) or is the command "broken"?

Thanks in advance,

DesertSnow

The command only applies to certain divisions, meaning that when you add the id type (x) and id (y), it will freeze the division wherever it is.

Practical example.
A german event with the command

command = { type = lock_division which = 14500 value = 35 }

Will, in the '36 scenario, lock the 1. Infanterie-Division, wherever it is currently located.

Basically what this means is that you can only "lock" divisions that you know the Type/ID for, or to be more specific, those divisions defined in the *.inc files. The best way to do this is to start the scenario with those divisions locked (check the UK.inc and/or USA.inc files for examples.)

The command works. Just make sure that you enter the right country code and division id. Look in the inc file for the scenario you are working on and that will give you the country code number used for that country. Then make sure that the id number for that division is correct. If it isn't working still double check the rest of the event to make sure something isn't missing.
