Territory Script Question

[Edwin P.]

Can one make a script so that 5% of the time Syrian terrirory is transfered to Turkey (as Syria was a former Province of Turkey)when France surrenders and 95% of the time it becomes Vichy Syria.

I tried it and both scripts - the one to create Vichy Syria (which exists in the game) and the script for Turkey to annex Syria execute leaving me with a nation that is neutral - not part of Turky and not Vichy.

My thought was that the Vichy Syria script would not execute if Syria was already transferred to Turkey but that assumption was wrong.

I also tried the annexation scripts, however they don't work for annexing land from a major power or annexing land from a country that does not yet exist (Vichy France / Syria).

Any suggestions?

Have you tried setting the annexation script to occur a turn or two after Vichy Syria has been set up? That way you are neither trying to annex a major nation nor are you annexing a non-existant country.

The problem is that you don't know when Vichy Syria will be set up and that the script editor looks for a country that exists at game start, not one which is created later.
