Move character?

[Baktrion Agema]

How do I teleport people and stacks around the map? I have heard people mention it but havnt worked out how. Will I get a CTD if I teleport an army into that inacessable bit of the sahara and take the secret town?

move_character "CHARACTER NAME" x,y

To get the internal names, look at the descr_names.txt.

To get the x,y coordinates hover your mouse over the desired area (make sure it's not inaccessible terrain, e.g. mountain top) and bring up the console and type in show_cursorstat.

You don't want to conquer the secret town. There's no point.

I cant get it to work. Im playing as Carthage, I type in move_character HannoA 7,3 and it says 'character not found', i tried it with a few other names aswel. I dont get the description_names file, what are internal names?

It's even worse for Sweboz generals, with all those accent marks.

What am I doing wrong, just getting the internal names wrong? What do i do, say I have a FM called Hanno, do I go into the description_names file, look up the carthage names and use the one that looks most like Hanno (HannoA in this case)?

[Hooahguy]

i dont think so- i think it would just be Hanno. but i would just choose someone esle and keep trying.

Correct syntax is thus:

move_character "HannoA" 7,3

In any case it's more likely he's actually "Hanno ofcarthago" if he doesn't have a surname.

I already read it... but what happens if you destroy those buildings...(umm I think I'll go find it out)

Weird stuff. Really weird evil stuff.

Just believe us.

[Hooahguy]

if you do conquer it you get a thousand boosts and lobsters come out and attack you.

[Swordmaster]

Actually, Teleklos Archelou will spring up and tell you very dirty jokes. So it's best not to try it.

After that, you will be eaten by rabid cellphones.

So, wait, if a character has a surname, how does that fit into the equation? Would it be move_character "Alkyoneus Agreades" x,y ?

Yes; Hellenic names are relatively easy. When they've got three names, you just join the second two together without a capitalisation on the third. Although some of the KH ones don't actually use the third name in their internal name.
