Help: event for Near_East

[lion_of_judah]

I'm attempting to make an event that will allow the certain Arab countries request economic aid in the form of aid there by that nation getting 2000 Raw for the expediture of 25 PP. It is not working and I'm having a heck of a time, below I have pasted what I've done and if anyone could please help that would be appreciated. Thanks

Next event...

Not sure what the problem might be, but I've run into some issues in the past with playing event cards, if the triggered event doesn't return a message to the regieme which played it. That can also be a decent method of debugging events if you run into problems. Put a few messages in...at certain points during the event execution...and you can see what the values are for certain variables during execution....as well as tell what steps get executed during the event. Can really help with more complex events.

I'm not the best at programming and so I'm just probably missing something really simple and easy to fix. Just happens I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. There are 11 regimes 12 if you count " Neutral" which is non-playable" I wish the manual would be more indepth about event programming and what to do......

So what's actually happening? Is the regieme getting the action card? Is anything at all happening when the action card is played? (I assume you are having the action card trigger the correct event number?).

Your code looks fine to me...though I don't remember the order of the parameters in those functions from memory...so you probably want to check those.

What I would do with the play raw material event for debugging purposes is have it send a message to the regieme you are testing it with (hard code the regieme number in for now just to test, don't use a variable) and have the message text include the values of TempVar0 & TempVar1.... that may help key you in on where the problem is occuring.

the regimes are getting the action and card and I can spend the required 25 PP but then nothing happens, the regime does not get the raw material amount, nothing zip, nodda....

A classic mistake is forgetting to connect the actioncard to the event in the actioncard screen. That could be it.

I double checked and it appears that the card is linked to this event....
