Unit names on campaign map
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?
Re: Unit names on campaign map
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.

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. :)

So Halik Il Watar, would be HalikIl Watar?
I tried that and it didn't work.
Re: Unit names on campaign map
Nope. Read my instructions carefully and you'll see that middlename has a lowercase first letter.

Re: Unit names on campaign map
I just tried Halikil Watar, and it didn't work. So the lower case middlename wasn't the problem.
Re: Unit names on campaign map
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?

Re: Unit names on campaign map
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.
