[Help!] Scripting the appearance of Hannibal's army

[King_Arthur]

Question :

Will spawn_army
faction spain
character, Figvlvs, named character, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 30, , x ?, y ?

spawn a general, or a family member? does it all depend on the kind of unit which is the first to be selected?

Not sure if you've figured this out yet, but if you use the phrase "named character" you will spawn a family member. If you use "general" you will just get a captain.

When you spawn a Family Member you can assign him any unit allowed by his faction, foot or mounted. This has to be the first unit in the army section though.

So this goes in the EBBS?

And how do I set spawn coordinates?

This has probably been thought of before, but if the problem is that there are too many hannibals, then why not just script in a guy named "Hannibal Barca", or "Hannibal son of Hamilcar"?

Bear in mind that I have no idea how the internal processes work or if this is even relevant.

So how do I add units to an army? And how do I input the Carthaginian FM's name into the console? I've done it with a Captain Mago, but it just tells me "character not found" with other FMs.

I hate to prematurely bump this, but anyone who knows the format of Carthaginian family names could really help me out... (i.e BalishekBurkadurr r whatever)

Edit- I see you viewing the topic, Quintus... help! :P
