Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I´ve a little problem with the flags. Maybe someone could help me :
I would like to give the Americans a special tech. They should only get this tech from Dec 1777 until June 1778. This works very good. Now my problem:
When the British conquered the city before Dec 1777, the Americans shouldn´t get the tech. Only if they liberates the city until June 1778. And this doesn´t work. Unfortunately the Americans get the tech when the British conquered the city before Dec 77. What do I wrong?

Your first event will only gift the tech and unit on turn 33, not turns 33-39.

I don't see a problem with the two CityTaken events.
Just a few things:
1. CheckFlag is a trigger not an action.
2. You don't need to use a mask for a CheckFlag trigger if you are only checking one flag.
3. You don't need the continuous modifier when you turn flags off. You only need it to keep flags on.
4. The order of events within the Events file is important.
This is how I'd do it:
Code:
;Sets the Valley Forge flag, ie, the Americans have the city at the start of the game.
@IF
Turn
turn=1
@THEN
Flag
continuous
who=Americans
state=on
flag=2
@ENDIF
;Sets the start of the gift tech/unit period.
@IF
Turn
turn=33
@THEN
Flag
continuous
who=Americans
state=on
flag=3
@ENDIF
;Ends the gift tech/unit period.
@IF
Turn
turn=40
@THEN
Flag
who=Americans
state=off
flag=3
@ENDIF
;Turns off the Valley Forge flag if the city is captured by the British.
@IF
CityTaken
city=Valley Forge
attacker=British Empire
defender=Americans
@THEN
Flag
who=Americans
state=off
flag=2
@ENDIF
;Turns on the Valley Forge flag if the city is retaken by the Americans.
@IF
CityTaken
city=Valley Forge
attacker=Americans
defender=British Empire
@THEN
Flag
continuous
who=Americans
state=on
flag=2
@ENDIF
;If the Americans hold Valley Forge at any time during turns 33-39, then they receive their tech and unit.
@IF
CheckFlag
who=Americans
mask=0b00000000000000000000000000001100
count=2
state=on
@THEN
JustOnce
CreateUnit
owner=Americans
unit=Wilhelm von Steuben
veteran=yes
homecity=None
locations
63,47
endlocations
GiveTechnology
receiver=Americans
technology=80
Text
...
EndText
@ENDIF
I´ve copied your settings in my events file but it doesn´t work. The British conquered Valley Forges before Dec 1777 and the message still plop up. Thanks for the help, I will use it. It's a long way to conquer Valley Forges if you play with the Brits.
I just tested it with the version you uploaded to the Scenario League website and it worked. I tossed out all of your other events, though. I guess you're going to have to post your latest files: SAV/SCN, rules and events.
I've uploaded the latest files New AWI files
the events are not complete until now but the Valley Forges and French intervention flag are included. I would be happy if you could say me wat I´m doing wrong.

*cough* It might have something to do with you changing the city name from Valley Forge to Valley Forges in the latest version.
You have other issues with shared flags (numbers 0-2). Be careful whenever you turn flags off. See this post by Mercator. Each flag from 0 to 31 possesses a single Continuous modifier bit, so if you turn off flag number 2 for the American tribe, ie, remove the Continuous modifier, it actually turns off flag number 2 for everybody. You've got plenty of spare flags, so you should be able to shuffle things around a bit.
Hm, I didn´t know that I only have 31 flags for all civs. I always thought that each civ had 31 flags. I think I have to make a new event file with the correct flags for all civs.
You wrote that I´ve to look to the order of the events. Is the order, especially for the British reinforcements/French intervention correct?
I´ve now uploaded the latest files of my scenario, which includes the whole campaigns of the war. Unfortunatelly the game crashed when I start the scenario and shows me the following message: Error "-3" in module "12" data 68 18. It should be something wrong with the events, when I start it without events, everything works.
I´ve found the mistake, the complete Southern Theater was doubled in the events. I´ve deleted it and now everything works very fine. I´ve included the events for the British Campaign, after playtesting the scenario I will post the American files.
