Traits to off_map characters

[Bowden]

Topic title says all.

How to -if possible- assign traits to off-map characters?

Cheers

Oops.

[Ishan]

You need to know the name\label of the character that went off-map.

[Taiji]

Use the give_trait command, check it out in docudemons.

[Swagger]

it should be possible as long as it has a label or name (like ishan said)

[Bowden]

??

Say I have

character_record  Salamon_I,   male, age 27,  off_map, past_leader

What do I do?

[Bowden]

(the past_leader with an off_map character isnt a fatal error btw)

[Swagger]

why the past leader?


if he isn't leader you can just give the title to someone else...

[Bowden]

because I am recreating historical families and in turbulent years living people would get abdicated in favour of sons, brothers, cousins, nephews and usurpers alike.

[Swagger]

ah ok, seems good


about the trait, try this:

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionType putfactionnamehere
    and I_CharacterExists Salamon_I
    and I_TurnNumber = turnnumberhere (or another condition to check when to trigger)

    console_command give_trait Salamon_I traitnamehere

end_monitor

[Bowden]

Can't it just be added to descr_strat?
Would make life way easier as the character-in-question has about 4~6 (bloodline) traits to be added (upon his children get it). It would be even better if it is possible to either add traits to under-aged children or dead people?

If it doesn't work to assign traits to inherently off_map characters, try creating him on the stage, with all the traits, and then sending him off map.

[Swagger]

yea, you can even send a character at turn 0 (right when the game starts)

[Bowden]

So,

I would make the guy alive (he is supposed to be dead) with all the required traits, then I script-kill him?

How do I do that (killing by script)?

[TNZ]

How do I do that (killing by script)?

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
		kill_character Salamon_I
	terminate_monitor
	end_monitor

[Bowden]

Hmm... if he is dead, and in the family tree, there would be no way you could see his traits anyway. So either he's with traits, and alive, or without traits and dead.

The character-in-question has two under-aged boys, who should have some of their father's bloodline traits on coming of age. If I keep him alive and then script_kill him, would they have the above mentioned traits on coming of age?

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
        kill_character Salamon_I
    terminate_monitor
    end_monitor

It should be for every faction, not just the FactionIsLocal (so it has to be scripted for every faction)...

Ah I see. Those are some particular esoteric requirements you've got there

Yes I think the only solution you have would be to create the character, give traits, then kill him off. You wouldn't even have to send him off-screen. Or, you could create him, give traits and then send off-screen -- either way he wouldn't be controllable.

[Taiji]

Maybe this works:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart TrueCondition
kill_character Salamon_I
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

[Bowden]

Maybe this works:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart TrueCondition
kill_character Salamon_I
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

Works. Many thanks.

+1 to all who contributed

[Bowden]

I'll have a go.
