[Vic3] Complex scripted_effect to define a scope leads to false positive

[kaiser-chris]

Hi @amtep,

this may be a tricky one.

A scope I have defined in a scripted_effect is detected as missing even though it works.
I suspect the complexity of the scripted_effect is the reason but I don't know for sure.

Setup

This is an example Event where the scope is detected as missing:

mbudye.14 = {
	type = country_event
	dlc = dlc_magic_gate
	placement = scope:mbudye_event_state

	immediate = {
		scope_random_lunda_subject = yes
	}

	title = mbudye.14.t
	desc = mbudye.14.desc
	flavor = mbudye.14.f

	event_image = {
		video = "africa_animism"
	}

	on_created_soundeffect = "event:/SFX/UI/Alerts/event_appear"

	icon = "gfx/interface/icons/religion_icons/golden_faith.dds"

	duration = 3

	option = {
		name = mbudye.14.a
		default_option = yes
		add_loyalists = {
			value = medium_radicals
		}
		add_conversion_progress = {
			country = scope:mbudye_event_country
			conversion_progress = 10
			support_change = 5
		}
		ai_chance = {
			base = 10
			modifier = {
				trigger = {
					check_mbudye_support = {
						support_change = 5
					}
				}
				add = 90
			}
		}
	}
}

Scripted Effect where the scope is set (is called in the immediate block of the Event):

scope_random_lunda_subject = {
	save_scope_as = gate_mbudye_dominion
	random_subject_or_below = {
		limit = {
			OR = {
				this = c:LND
				this = c:CHK
				this = c:KZM
				this = c:KSN
			}
			is_subject_of = c:GAD
		}
		if = {
			limit = {
				this = c:LND
				c:GAD = {
					je:je_gate_mbudye = {
						scripted_bar_progress = {
							name = pb_gate_mbudye_lunda
							value < 100
						}
					}
				}
			}
			save_scope_as = mbudye_event_country
		}
		else_if = {
			limit = {
				this = c:CHK
				c:GAD = {
					je:je_gate_mbudye = {
						scripted_bar_progress = {
							name = pb_gate_mbudye_chokwe
							value < 100
						}
					}
				}
			}
			save_scope_as = mbudye_event_country
		}
		else_if = {
			limit = {
				this = c:KZM
				c:GAD = {
					je:je_gate_mbudye = {
						scripted_bar_progress = {
							name = pb_gate_mbudye_kazembe
							value < 100
						}
					}
				}
			}
			save_scope_as = mbudye_event_country
		}
		else_if = {
			limit = {
				this = c:KSN
				c:GAD = {
					je:je_gate_mbudye = {
						scripted_bar_progress = {
							name = pb_gate_mbudye_kasanje
							value < 100
						}
					}
				}
			}
			save_scope_as = mbudye_event_country
		}
		else = {
			c:LND = {
				save_scope_as = mbudye_event_country
			}
		}
	}
	scope:mbudye_event_country = {
		random_scope_state = {
			save_scope_as = mbudye_event_state
		}
	}
}

At last the Journal Entry, but it should not matter since it only triggers the events:

	icon = "gfx/interface/icons/religion_icons/golden_faith.dds"

	group = je_group_internal_affairs

				desc = je_gate_mbudye_active_resistance
				trigger = {
					scope:journal_entry = {
						scripted_bar_progress = {
							name = pb_gate_mbudye
							value <= 20
						}
					}
				}
			}
			triggered_desc = {
				desc = je_gate_mbudye_passive_resistance
				trigger = {
					scope:journal_entry = {
						scripted_bar_progress = {
							name = pb_gate_mbudye

						}
					}
				}
			}
			triggered_desc = {

I looked into it and I think you're looking at the wrong event :)

The warning is about mbudye.16, which as far as I can tell does not set those scopes in its immediate block.
