Need help changing characters factions

Hmm... the control cheat didn't seem to work... ah well, I guess I'll have to simulate it a different way.

You could use a scripting command to kill then spawn the new character in the new faction:

like this:
console_command kill_character "Gaius Julius"
spawn_character Julii "Gaius Julius", general, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 20, x 54, y 124


--------------------------------------------------- Below is the description for the spawn_character command----------------
Identifier: spawn_character
Parameters: faction, character as in character description in historical battle
Description: create an army at a particular location
Sample use: spawn_character Julii Foedus Chaerea, general, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 20, x 54, y 124
Class: SPAWN_CHARACTER

Thats because it only works in a script, for example:

script

console_command control egypt

...

The genericscript is just a placeholder so you can make a script with the same name and just use the console command. Be warned that you control said faction after you press end turn, so the AI tends to screw with your units.

Thanks for all the help. I don't think I want to risk screwing up the campaign so I'll just fake it...

That's what I did.
