Unit names on campaign map

[EasyCo506]

Was not really sure where to put this, so I figured it might go here.

My question: I want to use some traits and ancillaries with the mod, but I have a problem.

I do the "give_trait "Name" "Trait" number" but it never recognizes the character name. I can type it exactly as it is in the game, but it doesn't work. So my question, is how do you get it to work?

[bovi]

Which faction are you?

Romani? That's complicated. Just don't.

Anyone else? Use "Firstnamemiddlename Lastname", including hyphens and no space between firstname and middlename.

[Tellos Athenaios]

To quote one of the scripters about giving traits to Romani through the RTW shell:

"a bit futile... :skull:" -Dixit The_Mark

[EasyCo506]

I was playing as Pahlava.

And what about one of the spies I chose, who only had one name?

Edit: but let me go ahead and thank all of you for the help. :)

[EasyCo506]

So Halik Il Watar, would be HalikIl Watar?

I tried that and it didn't work.

[bovi]

Nope. Read my instructions carefully and you'll see that middlename has a lowercase first letter.

[EasyCo506]

I just tried Halikil Watar, and it didn't work. So the lower case middlename wasn't the problem.

[EasyCo506]

Ok, it is not the name that is the problem.

I just started Carthage, and tried again. Using the captain milkpilles worked, but for some reason, the faction leader "Mago," could not be found. No matter what I tried, it just couldn't find him. Just four letters, no middle or last name.

Does it just not work with anyone above a captain?

Edit: the only family member out of all the ones in Carthage that would work, was Gisgo. None else would work, even though most of them had only one name.

Edit: anyone have any clue?

[Korlon]

Weird. I would've thought Gisgo wouldn't have worked for you. Are you sure? I just started a game with them and it certainly didn't work. And you know why it doesn't work? Because all the family members seem to have a hidden last name, which is "ofcarthago" So if you put in RomeShell something like "give_trait "Mago ofcarthago" GoodLeader 3, it should work.

Try it out. Next time, check out the descr_strat file for names of generals.

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

The guy's last name is 'Il Watar' so it would be "Halik IlWatar".
Mago has a hidden last name, I believe he would be "Mago ofcarthage".

[EasyCo506]

I never knew about the hidden last name. Thanks.

Edit: Thank you! I was putting Il in the wrong place, which I ended up doing for all of them. Thank you for all the help everyone.

Now to see some of those traits and ancillaries.
