Need Help/Advice

[Mourn]

So I'm working on a mod that will allow militaristic ethics empires to pick a policy option where full bombardment will turn a planet uninhabitable after the defenses are reduced to 0. However, the policy option isn't showing up and I'm getting errors that I do not understand from the error.log. I would really appreciate it if someone with some Paradox modding experience could take a look and let me know where I'm going wrong or point me in the direction to find the answers. Attached is the mod zip and here is the error log I am getting:

Bumping in the hopes someone might give this a quick look and point me in the right direction to finish this up.

Let me preface this with, i have never modded a paradox game ever, and the only code i typically write is in java. That means that the following is just my opinion on what im seeing here. What came to mind was this:

[12:35:39][persistent.cpp:34]: Error: "Unexpected token: every_country, near line: 29

This error here means that the token "every_country", isnt there. You cant use it. its a null function. So you tried to pass "every_country" into something as a parameter, and the game doesnt like that, because it cant handle the outcome, or it was not meant to be done by "every_country".

[12:35:39][eventmanager.cpp:183]: an event with id [global_annihilation.1] already exists! file: events/global_annihilation.txt line: 12

This here means that you tried to register a new event over another event, possibly you're trying to extend or overwrite an existing event, and the game does not like this.

[12:35:39][eventmanager.cpp:226]: Corrupt Event Table Entry - } in events/global_annihilation.txtline: 55
[12:35:39][eventmanager.cpp:534]: unknown namespace 'global_annihilation' defined in event files

This... This i had to take a look into the file to understand. And i'm still not sure what it was. Your closing brace indentation threw me off for a good minute or so, that was a bit confusing, if i'm honest. Im thinking that, along with the first error up there, it doesnt 'compile' for the game, its detecting that it wont be able to run this bit of code syntactically, soits throwing an error right now.

Thank you for taking the time to help! I will see if I can fix the problems with that advice and report on my success/failure.

Did you put this at the start of the event file?

namespace = global_annihilation

 

[Axelius]

The error log you posted is noting that you haven't declared a namespace. Look at the other event files, at the top of them they have a declaration of namespace = example_event.

Additionally, it seems on_actions are bugged. Any on_action you declare will overwrite the vanilla one. So by writing your on_monthly_orbital_bombardment none of the normal such are included. Either include the vanilla code in its entirety or rewrite the code. Personally in this case I would turn this into a short MTTH ship_event with triggers owner = {has_policy_flag = global_annihilation_allowed} orbit = {fortification_health = 0}.

Not the neatest solution, but the best I can think of without using the on_action.

As for policies, I don't have enough experience with how they work
