Need help with created events

[Patriotes1837]

O.K. So these are my first events: o

#########################################################################
# Quebec liberation
#########################################################################
event = {
id = 9990
random = no
country = FRA

trigger = {
control = { province = 19 data = -1 } # London
control = { province = 586 data = -1 } # Quebec City
}

name = "EVT_9990_NAME"
desc = "EVT_9990_DESC"
style = 0
picture = "outlaw_communist_party"

date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 3 # Check for trigger conditions every three days
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1947 }

action_a = {
name = "Liberation of our Quebec communist brothers!"
command = { type = trigger which = 9991 }
}
}


This one seems to work fine when I trigger it through the F12 window.


#########################################################################
# Quebec liberation
#########################################################################
event = {
id = 9991
random = no
country = CAN

name = "EVT_9991_NAME"
desc = "EVT_9991_DESC"
style = 0
picture = "outlaw_communist_party"

action_a = {
name = "Damn ungreatful pea soup eating bastards!"
command = { type = trigger which = 9992 }
command = { type = independence which = QUE value = 0 }
command = { type = end_mastery which = QUE }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = QUE value = 564 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = QUE value = 574 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = QUE value = 573 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = QUE value = 587 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = QUE value = 586 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = QUE value = 585 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = QUE value = 584 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = QUE value = 1909 }
}
}

I dont know what is wrong with this one. Quebec does indeed get independent but it doesnt get the two provinces I have highlighted. I seem to remeber reading on the HoI 2 Wiki that a released Quebec happened to lack these two provinces (Canada kept them). Now where do I change that in the files? And isnt it a sign that my event doesnt work properly also?

#########################################################################
# Quebec liberation
#########################################################################
event = {
id = 9992
random = no
country = QUE

name = "EVT_9992_NAME"
desc = "EVT_9992_DESC"
style = 0
picture = "outlaw_communist_party"

action_a = {
name = "Enough of Anglo capitalist oppression!"
command = { type = headofstate which = 582001 }
command = { type = headofgovernment which = 582002 }
command = { type = foreignminister which = 582003 }
command = { type = armamentminister which = 582004 }
command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 582005 }
command = { type = ministerofintelligence which = 582006 }
command = { type = chiefofstaff which = 582007 }
command = { type = chiefofarmy which = 582008 }
command = { type = chiefofnavy which = 582009 }
command = { type = chiefofair which = 582010 }
command = { type = add_corps which = "Corps du Québec" value = land where = 586 }
command = { type = add_division which = "1ere Division" value = infantry when = 1 where = artillery }
command = { type = add_division which = "2e Division" value = infantry when = 1 where = artillery }
command = { type = manpowerpool value = 30 } # manpower
command = { type = set_relation which = FRA value = 200 }
command = { type = set_relation which = SOV value = 200 }
command = { type = alliance which = FRA }
command = { type = alliance which = SOV }
}
}

This third one doesnt seem to fire at all, indicating that the second might not work properly. The ministers are OK (could simply be the fact that Quebec is liberated automatically) but the divisions are nowhere to be seen, and the relations and alliance also are not working. I tried firing the event through F12 as France and only the divisions appeared (not the diplomacy) and the divisions were French, not Quebec! By the way, if I want this newly Quebec to join the commintern alliance, what should I do? I put alliance with commie France and Soviets because I didnt know any better.


Any help would be appreciated. hope it's clear enough.

Another question, do I have to put the events in the separate event files? I put them all in the French event file. Should I put the first event in the French file, the second in the Canadian event file and the third in a created Quebec event file?

Thanks.

Thanks.

they can be in a seperate file so long as you include the file entry in the events.txt file.

To include those two provinces for Quebec in the first event - put them in the revolt.txt file for Quebec.

sometimes events dont work properly in the console but do work in game. Edit the inc files so France owns London and Quebec and see if it works fine 'in-game'

As to the alliance, it is best just having them in the Comintern (i.e. Alliance with the soviets). You may need an earlier event to have France in the soviet comintern beforehand.

OK. That's what I thought.

revolt.txt, that's what I was looking for. Thanks.

Nice suggestion. Will try.

So if I ally them with SU, they're actually automatically in the Commintern? That's what I wanted to know. Thanks. France is already in the comintern for the sake of this scenario

Thank you very much. I was hoping to at least have some input. Very helpful.

You are triggering the event for QUE when QUE does not exist. Move the trigger command after the independence command.

Thanks but I found out by myself before I saw your post. It makes sense. I just didnt realise it was important at first. Like I said, these are my first events. But this is addicting!

Anyway, I realized I didnt even need to put the secede_province things because the province were already in the revolt file. This works just fine.

Yup. I've even tweaked the last event for more "realism" (if possible in this case ) i.e: set sliders, French techs, etc.

I officially like making events now. I use to stick with the province file, scenario files, etc. But events rule!
