Wei Yan problem - scholar has all his good stats

[Captain_Deckard]

I just triggered the Liu Bei mission event after killing Jingnan and capturing the cities to bring up the Mighty Warriors event when Huang Zhong and Wei Yan join. However, Wei Yan is ordinary and one of my scholars (who is coincidentally also named Wei Yan) is now named Wei Yan General of the Standard - cardinal, and has a full biography, 13 strength, 8 attack , special attributes and so on.

The actual general unit that spawned as Wei Yan has none of this.

I just looked at the script, and it is fine (and hasn't been changed in ages). I'm going to assume it was a glitch with the engine... these things happen with mods sometimes.

It's this script part. I will need to rewrite the give_trait part by using the unique label of the spawned character instead of the 'common' name as the script will apply to the first character of that name, obviously the scholar existed before the spawned character.

I solved the problem by going back to an earlier save and before triggering the event I stuck the Wei Yan scholar on a boat and sank it. This time the event worked as intended and I got the good Wei Yan.

[Gigantus]

That works, too. The changed script will only affect new campaigns anyhow. I went through the rest of the script and made sure all instances of spawning with traits were fixed this way.

[Captain_Deckard]

Not sure when it happened, but it happened again with Ma Liang and a scholar with the same name.

[Gigantus]

The new script will take care of all instances. Doesn't make sense to issue it now as the changes will not be save game compatible and that will be the only change at the moment in the script.
