M2:TW Giving Traits to Characters with first & second names!???

[Sir Samson d'Bristou]

Hi there,
I am trying to give traits and influences to new characters, but if they have both a Christian name and a Surname, I cannot get the system to accept my instruction.

For example, if my character is called Mickey Mouse and I want to increase his loyalty I would input (according to every set of instructions I can find) this:
give_trait Mickey Mouse Loyalty 5................however I keep getting the error message - err: character not found
I have tried every way I can think of but no variation of code can make it work and neither can I select the character and then use the "give_trait this...." instruction.

Can someone help me resolve this? Thank you!

I think you need to type it like this: give_trait "Mickey Mouse" GoodCommander 5

I don't think "loyalty is a trait anyway. A list of traits can be found here.

Thanks Darth, I will try the quote marks...............I used Loyalty as an example, that was all, to demonstrate my confusion!

This game is immense, I can't believe how addictive it is!

There is another way. Just make sure the character is selected. (It helps to have them outside of a settlement.)

Also, it helps to have them selected and their portrait highlighted. This way the computer knows you have definitely selected the character in question.

Then you can add whatever you like. I usually add a point of BattleChivalry 1 to my generals as the game sometimes has trouble letting you cultivate that naturally. I just wanna start them off on the right foot.

Thanks Tsar - I've tried your way and it works.............phew! Thank you both for helping me

You're welcome! I learned how to do that to help the game out lol. There seem to be a lot of problems with the game, passing on traits and stuff. That or I'm too particular.

Glad it helped. :D
