Possible no action in event?

[unmerged(51416)]

I spotted usefulness of some "notification" events - when you're occupied elsewhere you know when important things happens. So I decided to make a mini-mod that include such notification when there aren't any "normal" ones - it triggers when previous owner doesn't own the province anymore.. Here comes the question:

action_a = {
name = "Malta has fallen"
}

Will this work? I don't want any side-effect, only pure notification.

Actually, you have to write an empty command line, like this:

action_a = {
name = "Malta has fallen"
command = { }
}

}

indeed, as panzergutentag said. You can have empty actions but it must contain at least one command line. And that empty command line is as he has given. This will provide an 'empty' event as you wish.

Thanks, it's saved me a lot of testing .

Could anyone check if this event is Ok? Will it trigger if UK loses any province in the area?

You need to add a country tag to the control trigger to make it work, something like:

control = { province = 5 data = ENG }

or

control = { province = 5 data = -1 }

Are you sure? Here's the direct copy from ussr.txt

EDIT: What does the second command do? Random occupier?

I found a way to easily check if the event will fire - aliens! So I started the game and typed alienattack 6. Alien did appered. Event didn't. I don't have idea why, but here it is, hope someone will help

It'll trigger only if the UK loses ALL those provinces.

Replace the NOT - OR with NOT - AND, that should do the trick.

actually just delete the OR command

trigger = {
NOT = {
control = { province = 5 data = ENG} # Scotland
control = { province = 6 data = ENG}
control = { province = 7 data = ENG}
control = { province = 8 data = ENG}
control = { province = 9 data = ENG}
control = { province = 10 data = ENG}
control = { province = 11 data = ENG} # England and Wales
control = { province = 12 data = ENG}
control = { province = 13 data = ENG}
control = { province = 14 data = ENG}
control = { province = 15 data = ENG}
control = { province = 17 data = ENG}
control = { province = 19 data = ENG}
control = { province = 20 data = ENG}
control = { province = 21 data = ENG}
control = { province = 22 data = ENG}
control = { province = 23 data = ENG}
}
}

AND is the default value, so this trigger above means that if UK does not control province 5 AND province 6 AND...etc.

So if UK loses just one of these provinces, the trigger would be met because UK doesnot control the lot of them.

Thanks, silly mistake o
So now I see that OR is met only if all provinces are lost - great for some "finishing" events (losing entire many-province rich island).

 

[unmerged(51416)]

I don't know, it still doesn't work. I tried to do something with Offset, set it to both =100 and =1, to no effect. What is this offset? Number of days it will fire until? Random chance for each day to fire if the conditions are met?

Anyone??

 

[unmerged(39808)]

Offset is a number of days when game will check trigger conditions.
So if offset is 1 then it will check every day,
if offset is 100 then it will check it once per 100 days.

 

[unmerged(49068)]

Offset is the time the triggers will be checked again after the first time, so for your event you want an offset very low, at least as low as one.

date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 1
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1947 }

I still think there's needed an "OR = {" somewhere though.

 

[unmerged(39808)]

I also think that
OR = {
should be added under
NOT = {
so it should look like that:

NOT = {
OR = {
blah blah blah
}
}

well with this trigger...

trigger = {
NOT = {
control = { province = 5 data = ENG} # Scotland
control = { province = 6 data = ENG}
control = { province = 7 data = ENG}
control = { province = 8 data = ENG}
control = { province = 9 data = ENG}
control = { province = 10 data = ENG}
control = { province = 11 data = ENG} # England and Wales
control = { province = 12 data = ENG}
control = { province = 13 data = ENG}
control = { province = 14 data = ENG}
control = { province = 15 data = ENG}
control = { province = 17 data = ENG}
control = { province = 19 data = ENG}
control = { province = 20 data = ENG}
control = { province = 21 data = ENG}
control = { province = 22 data = ENG}
control = { province = 23 data = ENG}
} #one province not-controled
}


It will fire when province 5 AND 6 AND 7 AND 8 AND 9 AND 10 AND 11 AND 12 AND 13 AND 14 AND 15 AND 17 AND 19 AND 20 AND 21 AND 22 AND 23 are NOT controlled by Britain (which I believe is what he wishes), if one of those ARE controlled by Britain the event will not trigger.

*blink blink blink*

actually you may be right (in fact you are) o , This event will not trigger untill ALL provinces are not controlled by Britain

EEK.

You will have to put the OR = { } trigger back in.

Sorry about that, hehe, we are all human. o

trigger = {
NOT = {
OR = {
control = { province = 5 data = ENG} # Scotland
control = { province = 6 data = ENG}
control = { province = 7 data = ENG}
control = { province = 8 data = ENG}
control = { province = 9 data = ENG}
control = { province = 10 data = ENG}

Bah, do not worry. We were not sure you were wrong until you confirmed it

 

[unmerged(51416)]

Ok. I'm confused. No matter which way I'll do it it won't fire. I don't know, maybe aliens aren't treated as "normal" nation? I checked for double-ID's, they are correct. also mysterious style = 0 command exists in most events I encountered so it shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, I decided to post the file I'm trying to modify here. It's basic Lithuanian event file (1 event long) with my added two events. Could someone try to use it in "normal" game? Or search for any bugs? I tried it many times, with many diffrent options - nothing works
