Executing a script in game?

[TitusJuliusCicero]

I sure this has been answered before but my search results give me everything there is to know about scripts except how to execute one while in the game?

I want to create a text file giving my generals traits and I just want to be able to execute the script while in the game. Can someone lead me in the right direction?

I apologize if this is redundant or in the wrong section.

Well, let me move your thread to the appropriate place, and our text wizards will set you straight.

Moved.

Write it into the campaign script, there's no way to execute a script during the game unless you're using "show-me" scripts which requires the user to press a button - if that's what you want, you can do it however.

Thanks. So I could add a function to campaign_script.txt that would allow me to type something into the console to execute a list of specific commands?

Would anyone be willing to give me the code for that?

I want to basically to have a function that gives my generals and/or my enemies generals all the good traits. So instead of typing it all in for a new general I would just have one simple command.

Example: command give_command "general"
give_trait "general" GoodCommander 5
give_trait "general" GoodAttacker 5
give_trait "General" NaturalMilitarySKill 3
etc.....

No, you can't. It's not as simple as that. The closest you can possibly get is use an advisor-triggered "show-me" script using 'give_trait "this" ...' as a command

Looking through the campaign script I didn't find any advisor trigers? It was all "if I_Advisor*" this or "while I_Advisor*" that.

So I am not clear on what you mean? Please enlighten me?
