Matrix Games Forums

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.

Progress of sorts. My custom event appears in the list not. It didn't fire but it id in the list. Onward ho! Try again! If at first...yada....yada...[:D]

Post the script here. We'll have a look.

Here ya go.

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.
