Need assistance - set_domestic won't fire.

[unmerged(53222)]

Hello everyone. This is my first attempt at coding and everything is actually working brilliantly except for one issue. My only problem is that the set_domestic variables aren't firing and the domestic variables are the same as the UK. As a result, Ethiopia is an ahistorical market liberal government instead of a paternal autocratic government. Do I need to set up another event ID, or am I missing something?

I've provided the event string in the area concerned. The set_domestic variables are bolded and are in event 442701 & 442702.

I would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.

Both sliders are connected to the ruling person. E.g. a Social Concervative ruler will only allow a certain reduced range for both.

Nice events. Make sure to remove Ethiopia's cores on Eritrea, otherwise they will claim them from UK.

Could you share the event pictures? HIP also has series for Ethiopia, but no pictures.

Hmmm. Haile Selassie is a Paternal Autocrat - so I'm trying to shift the set_domestic to reflect that. Is the ruling person considered the Head of Government instead of the Head of State?

Good catch on removing the cores. Ethiopia desperately wanted Eritrea (and still does ), but for purposes of gameplay I should remove those cores.

I've uploaded the Ethiopia event pics and skin. They're located here as ETH-events-pics.rar

I have not done too many tests on that, just had some trouble like you (mainly with France and de Gaulle). You have to try.

Thanks for the link.

It's actually more along the lines of your ministers (including HoS and HoG) being dependant on your government type - so, if you changed to LWR, for example, all your right-wing ministers would disappear at some point.

I'd say the problem is that the democratic and political_left values you've put in the event (5 for each) wouldn't make the government Paternal Autocrat, but Social Conservative. If you change the bolded code lines to...

command = { type = set_domestic which = democratic value = 3 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = political_left value = 4 }

... you should get your Paternal Autocrat government.

It also helps to put in extra command lines appointing the cabinet you want (particularly HoS and HoG) after the policy slider change, as these are often messed up with the ideology shift.

(You also have this command line repeating in your last event - this shouldn't cause any problems, but is a bit redundant!)

To check which 'democratic' and 'political_left' values lead to each different government type, look at the spreadsheet in the 'db/ideology_matrix.csv' file.

Thanks for the assistance. I'll try it this evening.

I finally got it to work after some extensive tweaking.

Here's my problem:

Event 442700-

action_a = {
		name = "Grant the Independence of Ethiopia" # Grant ETH
		ai_chance = 90
		command = { type = independence which = ETH value = 1 }
		command = { type = dissent value = -1 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 442701 }  # Emperor Restored and no Eritrea
		command = { type = trigger which = 442705 }  # Ethiopia Puppet
	}

It needs to be:

442700

	action_a = {
		name = "Grant the Independence of Ethiopia" # Grant ETH
		ai_chance = 90
		command = { type = independence which = ETH value = 1 }
		command = { type = dissent value = -1 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 442705 }  # Ethiopia Puppet
	}

442705

	action_a = {
		name = "OK" # Install a Puppet
		command = { type = make_puppet which = ETH } 
		command = { type = trigger which = 442701 }  # Emperor Restored and no Eritrea
	}

The policy slider was moving correctly, but the command to make it a puppet reset the policy slider values. I needed to make the puppet, then run the trigger which moves the policy slider values. It functions perfectly now for the British, French, Ethiopians, and Eritreans.
