Move character cheat with surnames

[Robertclive]

How do you get to work with a name like Prince Rufus,(example)

[Theseus1234]

rufus is his sole name, there is no last name. there are similar things like in the vanilla kingdoms, the main danish line has only first names

[axnsan]

you need to know the family name, best place to find it is the starting princess

then you use move_character "Rufus <Family name here>" xxx,yyy

[Pink Beard]

or move rufus on the field (and selecting him) and press

move_character "this" X,Y

very usefull with long names with titles... Like O'Connel MacChada the holy Crusader or something like that

and I believe
move_character "Rufus" X,Y is sufficient

[axnsan]

it dosen't work with "this" : i tried it. neither with only the first name for kings and princes
it works only with 1 name for those who have titles, like Henry the Bastard you just type move_character Henry

[Pink Beard]

"this" works... only u must have the character selected and the character must be in the open (not in a settlement).

I believe the correct formula would be

move_character this X,Y (no ")

[axnsan]

nope. it DOES NOT work.i know how this works, i do it with traits. but it simply does not work with move character

[Pink Beard]

It does works

[axnsan]

[Pink Beard]

hmm I fired up a SS campaign as the byzzies and ur correct, the "this" doesn't work... In Thera it doesn't work either. So I must've mistaken. the "this" cheat doesn't work then (haven't checked any other mods or Vanilla, however I do have DLV, Kingdoms (all 4), Darthmod, the long road, Lands to conquer, Retrofit and Custom campaign mod as well as Renaissance and English Civil war... maybe it is in any of those )

+ rep to you for being that stubborn

[Robertclive]

u show a pic of this working

[axnsan]

the "this" does work, but only with give_trait,remove_trait,give_ancillary and remove_ancillary

@Alexander : what do you mean?

[Pink Beard]

the "this" does work, but only with give_trait,remove_trait,give_ancillary and remove_ancillary

D'oh ur absolutely right! enjoy the rep anyways

[Robertclive]

wat u mean give trait remove sumthn,you want me to b\put all that in the cheat box

[Theseus1234]

some names just don't work
like names such as "Henry du German" would be impossible to move (i don't know why, the game must not like them)
let's say you have a merchant by the name of Gustav Vasa
you would show_curorstat, and then type move_character "Gustav Vasa" X,Y
i never thought the "this" thing worked
EDIT: who are you trying to move, what is there name, and where do you want to move them? we'll be able to help you if you give us some info

[axnsan]

like names such as "Henry du German" would be impossible to move (i don't know why, the game must not like them)

move_character "Henry du_German" x,y

[RMSN NIKE]

The hardest has to be the Mongol and Mayan, not sure about other Native American names, like:

move_character "Zhen_Jin of_the_Tartars" x,y

I have seen this name, or something similar in the Teutonic Campaign. I moved him around just to test how to type his name, if I need to do something later to someone with similar long names again. Like the Mayan names, "xxx_yyy of_here", been to long since I saw them.

My observation/testing, which ever you want to call them, the game only allow space between names once in one name, either "Gustva Vasa" or right before the "of" or what ever Muslim or Spanish use, for second part of the name. You have to use _ for most times, or - for the some Muslim ones.

[Robertclive]

still dont work

[RMSN NIKE]

move_character "Rufus" x,y

If you are talking about Prince Rufus for the English heir, or what "still don't work?" And what was did the rejection say?

[Sir.Mitchell VII]

If he has a surname prefix then you have to do it with his name as "Firstname von_Lastname" and the von must be lowercase.
