My game won't load because of this event!?

[unmerged(178957)]

Hi, whenever this event is in the SOV event file, the scenario won't completely load. Whenever I remove the event from the file, it loads fine. So here's my question: What is wrong with this event, since I want to be able to use it in game (NOTE: This is only my second event. The first one works, but doesn't fire so I just use F12.)

#########################################################################
# The Falling Sun - Japanese Surrender to the USSR
#########################################################################

event = {
id = 9998
random = no
country = SOV

trigger = {
war = { country = SOV country = JAP }

}

name = "The Falling Sun"
desc = "With the liberation of China complete and the Japanese homeland secured, the Japanese have finally accepted the inevitable. We shall create a Chinese satellite state, in order to maintain control in Asia more effectively."
style = 0
picture = "JAP_surrender"

action_a = {
name = "Flawless Victory!" #
command = { type = inherit which = JAP }
command = { type = inherit which = MAN }
command = { type = dissent value = -10 }
command = { type = manpowerpool value = 2000 }

}
}

So pretty much, I don't want this event to fire on it's own. I want to be able to only fire it with F12. Can someone tell me where I went wrong?

Thanks,
Crilly

P.S. The event is supposed to make the Soviet Union annex Japan and it's puppet.

If you're triggering it manually, there's no need for trigger conditions. Try removing them and see what happens. I take it you've checked that the event id is free, too. What error message does the game give when it fails to load?

Ok, I got rid of the trigger conditions and tried again. This time, it did the same, but an error message showed up:

--- ERROR : (unknown data defined in event database)'action_a = {'Line = 3317 file = db\events\USSR.txt ---
Do you still want to contine?

Abort Retry Ignore

All of the choices result in a CTD. I don't know what could be the issue with that line though, but I'm not the expert.

BTW, here's the event now:

#########################################################################
# The Falling Sun - Japanese Surrender to the USSR
#########################################################################
event = {
id = 90000
random = no
country = SOV

name = "The Falling Sun"
desc = "With the liberation of China complete and the Japanese homeland secured, the Japanese have finally accepted the inevitable. We shall create a Chinese satellite state, in order to maintain control in Asia more effectively."
picture = "JAP_surrender"
style = 0

}

action_a = {
name = "Flawless Victory!" #
command = { type = inherit which = JAP }
command = { type = inherit which = MAN }
command = { type = dissent value = -10 }
command = { type = manpowerpool value = 2000 }
}
}

There are an uneven number of brackets since you removed the trigger - this bracket seems surplus to requirements :

style = 0

}

Yep, that was it! Thanks for your help!
