A scripted event in Pride of Nations has a certain syntax that needs to be respected in order for the engine parser to read and implement it successfully. A working script should give no errors and, ideally, no warnings either. In a scripted event (or simply "script") the engine receives information that it has to select a nation, demands some conditions to be respected, implements the changes if the conditions are met, and writes a report (script log) about its operations.
The simplest possible event, the equivalent of Hello, World! in traditional programming, is the following:
SelectFaction = $CMN //select a faction, in this case CMN means all nations
SelectRegion = $Anglia //select a region, in this case Anglia (London), center of the world in the Victorian era!
StartEvent = Hello, World!|1|1|NULL|NULL|$Anglia|NULL //starts an event called "Hello, World!"
Conditions //demands some conditions to be met
Actions //if the conditions are met (if any) it will do some actions
EndEvent //ends the event
