Give trait to same name help!

Ok so I've searched all over the forum but cannot find a sensible answer to my question. So here goes, How can i give a trait to a FM that has the same name to another FM? its always character cannot be found. Please can anyone tell me if its even possible? and please no silly suggestions as putting the FM with the same name in a boat and sink it :no:

Thanks again!!!

Something similar was asked at the TWC, I think about half way down your question is answered (hopefully).

last name is always "Romanvs", but their first name is harder to find. If the name appears as "Gaivs ..." it could be "Gaivs", "GaivsA", "GaivsB", ... or "GaivsK" internally.

So "Gaivs Jvlivs Caesar" would really be something like "GaivsC Romanvs".

I've tried that one from A-K with no avail! it really does seem there is no way to do it, Oh well :p

I just tried it now in my Romani file and I couldn't get it to work either. Damn.

If you're in the beginning, look in the descr_strat in the data/world/maps/campaign/imperialcampaign and in the for the overall spelling data descr_names file.

Now, I'm pretty sure that didn't help much. If using give_trait whateverA Romanvs doesn't work for that character, and you don't have an agent or something with the same name (you know you can just ALWAYS get rid of them : ), you might try changing the name in descr_name, or if it's a character in the beginning of the campaign, change it in the imperialcampaign descr_strat.

Just in case you're not used to doing this stuff, always make back ups, use notepad++ (not typical accessories notepad) to edit files, and write down or keep a separate file of the changes you make. Let me know if that was totally useless or not. (if it is, maybe the names would help)
