Will events set before 1939/09/01 fire when they are supposed to? I have tried but have not been able to get them working. Is this a hard coding issue or is there a setting I am missing.

I am just playing around with a mod that starts the war in April of 1939.

Thank You for any help.

If the campaign starts earlier, and the date of the scripts has been set to start earlier, then the only thing I can think of is that the scripts need to be recompiled.

To do this, in the editor go to Campaign -> Edit AI Scripts and press the button at the bottom to Update all with an *.

Then do the same for Campaign -> Edit Event Scripts.

Then save, and you will be able to start playing with the scripts compiled and hopefully they will now work as intended. [:)]

Thank You Sir! That was problem. I think I will have another question real soon about events. As soon as I run out of different things to try and make the event work.

Here is what I am trying to do. Reform Czechoslovakia and bring it into the war when Presov is recaptured.

{
#NAME= DE 800 - Czechoslovak National Council.
#POPUP= Czechoslovak National Council arrives in Presov.
#IMAGE=
#SOUND=
#FLAG= 1
#TYPE= 1
#AI= 0
#LEVEL= 0
#GV= 1[1,100]
#LINK= 800[0]
#COUNTRY_ID= 30
#TRIGGER= 100
#ALIGNMENT= 2
#DATE= 1939/04/01
;Set variable conditions:
;Germany politically aligned with Axis and not surrendered
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 45 [1] [100] [0]
}

{
#NAME= DE 800 - The Czechoslovak National Council reforms in Presov.
#POPUP= The Czechoslovak National Council reforms in Presov.
#IMAGE= slovakrising1.png, slovakrising2.png, slovakrising3.png
#SOUND= battle2.ogg
#FLAG= 1
#TYPE= 1
#AI= 0
#LEVEL= 0
#GV= 1[1,100]
#LINK= 0[0]
#COUNTRY_ID= 96
#RECIPIENT_ID= 30
#REMOVE= 0
#TRIGGER= 100
#DATE= 1939/04/01
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 45 [1] [100] [0]
#MAP_POSITION= 110,43
}

The event fires fine. Presov is now the capitol of CZ But it reforms as 0% allied and not at war. Do I need another event to automatically be at war with the axis when this event fires?

This does not fire at all.

{
#NAME= Czechoslovakia Enters War With Germany
#POPUP= Czechoslovakia declares war on Germany.
#IMAGE=
#SOUND=
#FLAG= 1
#TYPE= 1
#AI= 0
#LEVEL= 0
; Set global variable condition to always trigger (dummy value)
#GV= 1[1,100]
; Set link value to always trigger (dummy value)
#LINK= 0[0]
#TRIGGER= 100
#COUNTRY_ID= 45
#BELLIGERENCE_ID= 30
#DATE= 1939/04/01
#FAILSAFE_DATE= 1948/01/01
; 1st Line - Poland politically aligned with the Allies and not surrendered AND
; 2nd Line - Germany politically aligned with the Axis and not surrendered
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 85 [2] [100] [0]
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 45 [1] [100] [0]
; 1st Line - Poland and Germany are belligerent
#BELLIGERENCE_CONDITION= [85,45]
; Dummy condition position (always satisfied)
#CONDITION_POSITION= 0,0 [0,0] [0,0] [0] [0]
}

I guess I need a better guide for writing events.

Yes, use a Mobilization_2 or Mobilization_3 script, depending on what triggers you want to swing CZ into entering the war. Set it to a high percentage, e.g. 100% if you want it to enter immediately upon being formed.

If CZ is a Minor then this should be all you need.

Thanks Bill!. I was trying a mobilization 1 script with predictable results. The mob 2 script worked just fine and now my chain of events are working as intended.

Excellent! [:)]

One last question, for now at least. Which event sections handles the transfer of a capital? I've been looking through and maybe I missed it.

Do you mean when a capital is lost and it transfers to another location?

If so, that is not scripted, but instead the alternative capitals have to be set as such in Campaign -> Edit Country Data.

That's not it. For my mod, the first city of Czechoslovakia to be liberated is Presov, should the Allies regain Prauge, how do I move the capital there or once the territory is re owned/annexed into Czechoslovakia, will auto move there?

Ah, I see. The only way to have Prague be the capital would be to have it be the first hex listed in the TERRITORY script that creates Czechoslovakia.
