Locking units does not work (IIRC) for Naval units (or air units, actually, I think).

eric.. ok, I got it now. I got the event to work. Sometimes I'm not the sharpest knife in the box.

Historyman... I remeber somone else saying that too. I had forgotten about that. I'll just leave the event as is. Thanks. I am slowly making progress.

Maybe you are not the sharpest knife, but at least you try and do something. That isfar better than me, who maybe have more knowledges and do nothing but simply download what others did and play with.

So, please remenber, whatever your lack (or supposed lack) of knowledge, you are one of those who made something (or tried to made something), and because of that you (as all of them who modded at one moment or another) will always have my respect.

Check thefile I named in one of my previous post. It gave the list of the command and their explanation.

My French is as good as yours. But I think you have it right...let us know what you come up with, I would like to give your events a try...

Karagin, I have those events working now. The event chain goes like this..

Japan triggers Pearl Harbor - All BB's sunk or damaged are removed from the game.

The US player gets an event a few days later allowing for the repair of just the lightly damaged Pennslvania. If the player choses to rapair the Pennslvania the chain ends. If all of the damaged ships then the chain keeps going until all of the ships repaired after the Pearl Harbour return on their historic return date.

Also on an unrelated bit their is also an event that removes General Short and Admiral Kimmel about 10 days after Pearl. Let me know if you want the events. They are written for the Compendium mod but with little to no work they can work for other mods or vanilla as well.

Yes I am interested in this, very much so.

 

[Micah Goodman 2]

Do you want me to post them here or do you want me to PM them to you?

 

[Karagin]

PM is fine unless others are interested as well.

 

[unmerged(90249)]

so am I too

 

[unmerged(42723)]

I'd like to get them too

 

[Micah Goodman 2]

Ok, I will post them here

Put these lines in the USA inc file,

navaldivision = { dormant = yes id = { type = 14800 id = 700 } name = "USS Pennsylvania" type = battleship model = 1 extra =naval_improved_hull_l }
navaldivision = { dormant = yes id = { type = 14800 id = 701 } name = "USS Nevada" type = battleship model = 1 extra =naval_improved_hull_l }
navaldivision = { dormant = yes id = { type = 14800 id = 702 } name = "USS Tennesee" type = battleship model = 1 extra = naval_improved_hull_l }
navaldivision = { dormant = yes id = { type = 14800 id = 703 } name = "USS Maryland" type = battleship model = 2 extra = naval_improved_hull_l }
navaldivision = { dormant = yes id = { type = 14800 id = 704 } name = "USS West Virginia" type = battleship model = 2 extra = naval_improved_hull_l }
navaldivision = { dormant = yes id = { type = 14800 id = 710 } name = "USS California" type = battleship model = 1 extra = naval_improved_hull_l }

The only thing that I can think that you might have to change is the model number for the dormant divisions to make sure that they match your game. Just check the unit inc file for those battleships for what ever version you are playing. Also, I would suggest changing the Pearl Harbor event number to what ever it is for the version of the game you are playing. If you decide to keep the event as written and to just deleate the Pearl Event as it is in your game, make sure you open the Japanese event file and look at the Pearl Event to make sure that the triggers match up. Also if you do change the Pearl HArbor event number, change the trigger on the Short and Kimmel Sacked event to match the new Pearl Harbor event number. Have fun.

Thx Will try them out later....

Just by looking at them though - you have ai_chance = 95 in one event for option a, shouldn't there be a ai_chance = 5 for b too? It's the one with ID 3182050 "Rebuild the Pacific Fleet"....

 

[Micah Goodman 2]

If you just copied these, recopy them.. I made a couple of changes. No, the AI chance works ok as far as I know. I guess just to be safe you could add an ai chance line to option b if you want.

 

[unmerged(42723)]

Just had an idea, do you know if this command works:

type = damage_division which = [div id type/-1] value = [div id id] where = X# where = Percent of Max Strength. Negative value is strength gain.

It's from the HOIWiki. If it works, it could be used at least for the damaged vessels, and would save some events work (of course which you already invested), because you could just damage for example the USS Pennsylvania, leave it in the game and let the player repair it the conventional way. Just a suggestion of course

 

[Micah Goodman 2]

The problem is that ships repair at too quickly a rate. After struggling to get the events to work I am happy with the way they are now.
