My first event: critics welcome

[unmerged(100264)]

Well here's the code for my first programmed event. Let me know what you guys think, and if you spot any little coding errors.

vent = {
	id = 222222
	random = no

	trigger = {
		exists = TEX
		}
        
	name = "Texas Oil is in demand"
	desc = "Texas oil has an added natural lubricant that is high in demand for machine parts. The capitalists need this oil to make top notch machine parts for their factories and is anxious for a strategic occupation and annexation of Texas. The lower class however, is not too thrilled at the idea of war for a luxury good."
	style = 0

	action_a = {
		name = "Perhaps diplomacy is a better idea."
                command = { type = pop_militancy which = capitalists value = 3 }
		command = { type = pop_militancy which = clerks value = 1 }
                command = { type = pop_militancy which = soldiers value = -2 }
                command = { type = pop_militancy which = officers value = -2 }
                command = { type = pop_militancy which = labourers value = -2 }
                command = { type = relation which = TEX value = 5 }

	action_b = {
		name = "Let us claim their lands for the glory of our people."
                command = { type = war which = TEX }
                command = { type = relation which = TEX value = -25 }
                command = { type = capitalist_bonus value = 3 }
                command = { type = pop_militancy which = capitalists value = -2 }
		command = { type = pop_militancy which = clerks value = -1 }
                command = { type = pop_militancy which = soldiers value = 1 }
                command = { type = pop_militancy which = officers value = 1 }
                command = { type = pop_militancy which = labourers value = 1 }
                   }
}

Oh, also a quick ? if i may:

how would i assign this event to all great powers? I figure a 1 in 10 chance ought to trigger at least one AI to select the second option, which could be fun.

add this line to your trigger

is_GP = yes

Your the man bro. And if I want to assign it to human controlled countries only?

Lol and sorry for the newbness, one more question... how do I make an event trigger when two countries are allied? Can't seem to find it on Vickywiky...

I can find it actually, but it doesn't work in the sense I want it to. I want the trigger to work when YOU the player are in an alliance with said country, no matter which country you play.

Shoot, if I could just figure out how to make something trigger when the player's country, regardless of which it is, is allied with a specified country, I'd have this mod out for you all to download already. Been working hard on it all day... Some real improvements for Great Power nations and some real improvements for small countries on the rise, or looking to rise.

ai = no

alliance = { country = -1 country = [TAG] }

I am fairly confident that it will work with -1 (which means "this country" in most other triggers). You might have to experiment a bit though.

That's the thing though. I'm assigned to bed rest for another day so I have time to code, but then it's back to work, so I won't have time to do much experimenting.

But thanks, I'm gonna make those couple changes and add a little military power, and "Victoria: Alternate Realities" will be available for you all to play and tell me how bad I suck.
