Variable Condition question, would this work?

[Lothos]

Does anyone know if a command like this would work?

; - Italy - ??? - War - Surrendered
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 59 [0] [100] [1]

Basically, would this cause the decision to fire if Italy surrendered regardless of what faction they belong to?

There are decisions that fire based off Italy surrendering, the problem is some of those decisions do not fire if Italy surrenders to the Axis instead of the Allies. This is how Italy ends up switching sides sometimes.

This decision is supposed to fire after they surrendered but before they are liberated (if they can be liberated, it depends on who they surrendered to)

I am trying to avoid writing duplicate decisions.

I don't think it would work because if they have surrendered they will also be either Allied [2] or Axis [1] and never Neutral [0] as they are in the condition.

Could you use a check DE chain - (A) checks for surrender to Allies (59 [1] [100] [1]); then (B) #LINK= A[0] checks for surrender to Axis (59 [2] [100] [1]), then all other scripts check for #LINK= B[0 or 1]? If it doesn't change, then DE check B is not needed. #LINK= A[0 or 1] will be enough. If it does change, (a #TYPE= 2 check), then (B) would be needed in case Italy is actually mobilized and not surrendered.

The only way to do it is to have literally two identical chains remember the VARIABLE check uses an AND for each statement and not OR

That's right and why the A and B checks would be needed. I'm not sure how often Italy is likely to change sides or surrender in your mod but individual DE scripts might be quicker.
