Writing Events

[Tidavis]

I'm attempting to write a custom event. A simple unit event where it appears no matter what the parameters of the game are. I can't get it to fire.


Are there any guides on writing events out there? I think I am missing something somewhere but don't know what it could be.

Any help here is appreciated.

This event shows up in the list but will not fire. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I have no idea what.

The destination of the unit is the capital of Denmark, is this the intention?

Edit: I've fixed the script below, this should fire with an announcement that the Waffen SS has formed and the unit will appear turn 1 in Berlin.

No it was not. Potsdam was the destination but Berlin works too.

Thank you! Looks like the only thing preventing the event firing was the location? Was the popup text mandatory? I was going to do work on that later because I thought that was a separate thing?

Going to try another one just to make sure it works correctly.

You definitely earned a credit in my mod if it ever gets to the release point.

Thanks again!

Yes it was only the location, pop up could be left blank.
