I check events scripts.
I added the following events scripts.

$GiveUnit
if_Date=9/15/1939
actionCountry=6
lifespan=tillTrigger
advancement=4
unitID=11
xyArea=149,59
text=Test1
$End

$GiveUnit
if_Date=9/15/1939
actionCountry=1
lifespan=tillTrigger
advancement=4
unitID=11
xyArea=133,60
text=Test2
$End

Bug1 German unit is placed on the Allied turn.
Bug2 Advancement has not been fixed yet.
Bug3 The text is not displayed.

I want you to fix it as soon as possible.
I want the scripts of _giveUnit to be enabled in the player.

text= needs to be name= to name the unit.

text= is only for messaging in the event scripting.

$GiveUnit is only for the A.I.

I'll look at the other items. Thanks.

Thank you Alvaro.
I want Turn Report to display that a new unit is deployed.
I found addReportTo= needed.
Again I add the following scripts to _events.txt.

$GiveUnit
if_Date=9/15/1939
actionCountry=6
lifespan=tillTrigger
advancement=4
unitID=11
xyArea=149,59
addReportTo=Axis
text=abc
$End

$GiveUnit
if_Date=9/15/1939
actionCountry=1
lifespan=tillTrigger
advancement=4
unitID=11
xyArea=133,60
addReportTo=Allies
text=efg
$End

German unit is deployed.Unit Advancement is Anti-Tank 1943.

9/29/1939
Axis Turn
Turn Report
abc is desplayed.

German unit is not deployed at Axis turn.
I think when Axis scripts and Allies scripts are on the same turn, Axis scripts are processed on Allies turn and next Axis turn.

$GiveUnit is ONLY for A.I. not human players. In the event.txt you can use "addReportTo=???" and "Text=???"

But there is no reason to send a report to the A.I. because it doesn't look at them.

If you want to give a human player a unit use the events. Technically you could use give unit in events and make it AI only. Like I noticed I did it accidentally for the A.I. in the events script not the giveUnit script.

I understand your answer.

I thought German units would be deployed in 9/15/1939 Axis Turn.
I thought the text would also be displayed in 9/15/1939 Axis Turn.
But it was in 9/15/1939 Allies Turn that German units were deployed.
The text was displayed in 9/29/1939 Axis Turn..
I think it's a bug.

BTW units are always given at the end of the turn because that is when events take place.

I think that the process should be changed.
Because Axis units are placed in 9/15/1939 Allies Turn, Axis units will move on the next turn(9/29/1939 Axis turn).
Allies units are placed in 9/15/1939 Allies Turn and Allies units can be moved in 9/15/1939 Allies Turn.
Axis is disadvantageous.

The order of events is strange.
I play Europe 1939.
Axis Turn is first.
Allies Turn is second.

9/1/1939Axis Turn
9/1/1939Allies Turn
9/15/1939Axis Turn
9/15/1939Allies Turn
9/29/1939Axis Turn
9/29/1939Allies Turn
Continue

In other words, there is an event in the middle of the turn, not at the end of the turn.
I understand if it is as follows.

9/1/1939Axis Turn
9/15/1939Allies Turn
9/15/1939Axis Turn
9/29/1939Allies Turn
9/29/1939Axis Turn
10/13/1939Allies Turn
Continue

Axis Turn is first but second.

Then set the date back 2 weeks for the event if it is that important. Simple solution.

Ok,Alvaro.
Axis event is 2 weeks ago.
The player who makes the scenario is very annoying.
But you will not fix this bug.
This game is very good, but the script is very bad.

It has to be this way for internal coding. Events have to happen at the end of the turn for various reasons.

Alvaro made the scenario, scripts and game.

Your opinion of why its "very bad" is backed up by what? Your feelings? Your imagination? Your personal opinion?
