help with scripting

i'm trying to execute a script in the campaign_script after i spawn an army with a named character.

the script i'm trying to make is the named character from the spawned army is to become married to a princess then becomes the faction's heir, and remove the former heir from being the current heir.

is this the basic lines of it:

Code:

    monitor_event CharacterMarriesPrincess faction <faction_name>
        if I_EventCounter <event> == 1
            <character_name>, <princess_name>
        end_if
        monitor_event BecomesFactionHeir faction <faction_name>
            <character_name(from above)>
            console_command give_trait Factionheir
        end_monitor
        monitor_event CeasedFactionHeir faction <faction_name>
            <character_name(exheir)>
            console_command give_trait Exheir
        end_monitor
    end_monitor

Not sure about the marriage part and if the heir stuff will work. But you will certainly have to make the current heir an ex-heir first before you can make the new guy the heir.
Your entry CharacterMarriesPrincess is simply a monitor and not a command. Can't remember reading about a command with marriage.

so make sure the current heir becomes ex-heir then make new guy heir. Then how would i make it a command? I was asking also for syntax/form for what is needed to be in each one. No offense, thanks for the help. Who would i talk to for more help on this?

Augustus Lucifer is quite a handy guy with a script.
Konny comes to mind as well.

There's no commands relating to marriage, so you can't force marriages via script. In fact there's little if any commands that do anything with regards to the family tree, something that some mods have despaired about given the way they intend to handle factions.
