Trigger syntax

[unmerged(2695)]

I have problems making triggered events work.

Ihave written a doomsday event that makes turns the HAB into the HEI (an iffy event based on the very historical possibility of a successful Imperial reform around 1520).

The HEI event works.

The event type needed to enforce the Eternal Peace (revocation of fief in case of a DoW) does not. In this case Brandenburg eschaest to the emperor for making war on Pommern.

It looks like this:

event = {
               id = 20001
               trigger = {
                                event = 20000   
                                AND = {  
                                             war = { country = BRA country = POM }     
                                             }
               random = no
               country = HEI
               name = "Revocation of fief"
               desc = "The margrave of Brandenburg has escheated his fief
               style = 1
               date = 1419
               deathdate = 1820
          
               action_a = { #OK "Ban the warmonger        
                                  command = { type = inherit which = BRA }
                                  }
               }
}

Is the syntax formally correct. I keep getting error messages about unknown lhs (} ?) in
comman = lines.

I have place the event in the HAB event file. Should it be placed in the HEI ? I get the error messages from the HAB file.

PS: Never through I would go intro programming when I skipped the Fortran-course back in 1975.

event = {
               id = 20001
               trigger = {
                                event = 20000   
                                AND = {  
                                             war = { country = BRA country = POM }     
                                             }
               [color=red]}[/color]
               random = no
               country = HEI
               name = "Revocation of fief"
               desc = "The margrave of Brandenburg has escheated his fief
               style = 1
               date = 1419
               deathdate = 1820
          
               action_a = { #OK "Ban the warmonger        
                                  command = { type = inherit which = BRA }
                                  }
               }
}

Try this. You was one } short.

Thx, Havard.
You're manual is a great help.

(In Norwegian, purely technical statement: For å stetta mi eiga nyfikne. Det er altså posisjonen til hakeparantesane på linja i høve til kvarandre som definerer det som står mellom dei som ei valid utsegn, utan omsyn til kva linje dei står på. Men, for ein lekmann, e-en i event fungerar som ein hakeparantes i høve til den som avsluttar den utsegna).


One question:

Is it possible to have recurring events ? The event triggered by the revocation of fief will be a two choice one: Add to core or grant independence as vassals.

As the AI has an extremely steep learning curve I assume that the members of the HRE will go to war again.

Will this event work a second time if I extend the time-frame ?

(In the HEI event I'm working the HAB becomes HEI, diploannexes most of the HRE members (as well as the Papacy and the Orders Militant) and vassalizes the rest.

My goal is basically to create a mechanism in the game that does not allow for the HRE to break up until mid-game (i.e. after a game "Westphalia").

Another question:

Can I place events in any db/events file ?

To see if I understand it correctly: The trigger statement must be enclosed in { } ?

Yep.

Nope. They will not, unfortunately. Recurring events are on the event wish-list...

If event = 20001 has happened it will not occcur again if the trigger conditions are met once more ?

A related question:

If I have a event triggered by owning a province, it will happen only one time until expire date, or it will happen each time the province changes hands?

If the first is true, how I can produce one event the happens all time the province change hands?

My primary target is to produce an event - "The Two Holly Cities Guardian" that gives some advantages to a country that control Mekkah, if it is Muslim, off course.

That's correct.

how do you get the script to show up in that format in the posts?

I use the [ code ] tag. Just answer with quote and you see how it's done.

I rewrote the event. As I have to play Branburg just to test the mechanism (DoW in Pommern) I have not yet seen it happen. It may have happened once playing off-hand because the game crashed at the date it should have hit in.

Must test triggered events using less fatal event type I guess.

I suppose the hei tag is reserved to some game purposes and could not be used, as MUS, ITA and some few others. I think the event will occur normally if you creat another country using a User_defined Tag.
People that try to use the ITA tag have problems too and i have experienced problems with the MUS tag.
