is_triggered_only events not working for me please help

[Misha]

hello for some reason is_triggered_only events is not working in my mods
{ character_event = { id = .... }
and
on_action
deosnt work all what it does is giving me a blank event without options with desc having
a random "A" written on it

[jamie]

you need to have options for your events and the A is because you have nothing there for the name of the event take a look at what i got here and stuff the lay out is what you need but most of this is not but the event name and id title and desc and options are what you need to take a look at. the } may not be in the right place if it has more than one each on of them is to the right the top one to the right the next one one tab over and so on till it hits the left side.

this is what i edit for you on what you need or it wont show up or fire is there decisions that go with this? if there is then you need to put in them to. you need to have them to localisation is need to in cvs format or it wont show up. this is just the events what happen when you hit the decision button you will need plus you will need gfx/interface files so they have the button for decisions ex: decision_icon_byr_purge_orthodox pus you will need decision_icons.gfx when make a mod make new .gfx ex: UoC_decision_icons.gfx inside of theat you need to have

ex:

spriteTypes = {

spriteType = {
name = "GFX_mend_great_schism"
texturefile = "gfx\\interface\\decision_icon_mend_great_schism.dds"
}
}


this is only if you have decisions you want to put in.


down here i made the changes that are need. but the things i talked about above are need if you are making it with decisions you can hae them with out them but you need to make sure they fire in gam by hiting ` to open the thing and then typing event AFF.1 or event AFF.2 or event AFF.3
