move_character doesn't seem to work ..

I'm getting really weird results with move_character command .. Some examples :

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

As you see , i'm getting an invisible character , who has lots of flaws and stuff .. For instance , when i try to merge armies :

Anyone knows why this is ?

Possibly because of the restriction of the spot. Last time it happened to me was with RTW. Can't remember what the reason was.

**Killerbee** · August 05, 2009, 04:12 PM

I had the same reulst on other spots too .. Hmm , gonna find something else ..

**Killerbee** · August 07, 2009, 08:19 AM

Err .; I found out it's only that specific character that can't move . How come ?

**Gigantus** · August 07, 2009, 09:29 AM

It reminds of similar results when you had two factions garrisoned in one settlement:

Check if some other character occupies the same spot from the start. Like an agent\character from another faction.

I just found out , that all characters inside a settlement can't be moved by move_character (well at least mine can't) , but those on the camp-map can ..

Anyway , found a workaround , so cheers

Aha .. Interesting

@ gigantus : it was actually a workaround . I wanted some army to engage another army , but the first army was in a settlement , and apparently , engage_armies doesn't work in that case . So i just spawned a small army near the second army , let them engage , and the first army is a reinforcement

That is kinda interesting: will it work over longer distances?

I assume you're talking bout Archaon's post there

**Gigantus** · August 09, 2009, 08:55 PM

No, I meant the engaging business.

I use this command

Code:

    siege_settlement Nagrat Ugli, Deep-Mirkwood, maintain 
    siege_settlement Nagrat Ugli, Deep-Mirkwood, attack

It works perfectly!.

yea , but i wanted to have the battle on a custom tile (the tile is 1 tile away from the settlement) , so i couldn't make it a siege battle (as i don't know how to add custom cities) , and i had to find another way ..

@ gigantus : Yep , afaik 'engage armies' requires the armies to be right next to eachother , otherwise you'll get an error in your log saying 'couldn't engage armies blahblah'

**SigniferOne** · August 16, 2009, 10:29 PM

The army inside the settlement would have to be 1 tile away I'd presume.

Anyway yeah, there are multiple move commands, make sure you try them all out. There's 'move_character', there's 'move', there's 'reposition_character', etc.
