Status: offline 		Does anyone know what 'param2' in the 'HexStripe.ChangeControllerAndOwner' method actually represents in the events.xml file? I've worked out the other 3 parameters.

Status: offline 		how long the hex strip is

x, y coordinates tells you which hex, and another one parameter tells how many hexes (counting down)?

Status: offline 		A mod design quetion using the events system.

I'm trying to get an event to trigger either when the Greeks occupy the Istanbul hex or if the Turks occupy the Thessaloniki hex.

My mod works reasonably well at the moment and the events I've added work well.

Obviously they are both 'neutral' countries. I don't want the event to trigger once one or other country is defeated and the appropriate hex occupied and controlled (I've tested that and it works). I want the event to trigger only upon the hex being taken.

I've used the "Hex.Occupied param x param y param z" method to try and simulate this paramaters x, y being city coordinates and z being the country with troops on the hex. With the "Hex.ControlledbyAliance" and "Hex.OccupiedAndCOntrolledByAlliance" methods that third paramater represents one of the 3 alliances and is therefore country specific. Is this 3rd parameter also referring to alliance or can it be a specific country (like Greece or Turkey who are both neutrals in my mod)?

Status: offline 		Sorry In my last post second last sentence I meant the third parameter "therefore is NOT country specific".

So what I'm asking is whether in "Hex.Occupied param x param y param z" the third paramater is referring simply to alliance or can it be a specific country?

Status: offline 		Check out doc\Event engine manual.txt, there's a description of params to all (or I think most) different methods to be used in <expression> and <effect> blocks.

I don't find params to switch nations from, as an example, pro-axis to pro-allied, it is possible?
