Barbarian spawn event help

EDIT: SOLVED

I'm trying to put in an event that spawns barbarian units inside your borders by copypasting the Cylon event from Next War, and it's worked pretty well so far, except that it only fires for the AI, which apparently happens with the original event as well. I tried cross-referencing with the other barb-spawning events and I'm pretty sure I know where the problem is, but I'm not sure how to approach it. Anyone got any ideas?

Python for the Cylon event

    kTriggeredData = argsList[0]
    pPlayer = gc.getPlayer(kTriggeredData.ePlayer)

#   If Barbarians are disabled in this game, this event will not occur.
    if gc.getGame().isOption(GameOptionTypes.GAMEOPTION_NO_BARBARIANS):
        return false

#   Let's be fair -- civ can't currently be at war.

    if pTeam.getAtWarCount(true) > 0:
        return False
          
#   At least one civ on the board must know TECH_CLONING.
    bFoundValid = false
    iTech = CvUtil.findInfoTypeNum(gc.getTechInfo, gc.getNumTechInfos(), 'TECH_CLONING')
    for iPlayer in range(gc.getMAX_CIV_PLAYERS()):         
        loopPlayer = gc.getPlayer(iPlayer)
        if loopPlayer.isAlive():
            if gc.getTeam(loopPlayer.getTeam()).isHasTech(iTech):
                bFoundValid = true
                break

I tried fiddling around with the Vandal event since I know it works for the human player, and found out there's a function in the plot-finding and spawning code which sets the spawn to happen adjacent to the civ's borders. I just removed it, and now the event works as intended.

The code if anyone's interested:
