I dislike the way the export_descr_character_traits.txt file is laid out. What I would like to have is the V&V set followed by related triggers. To do this, I want to have triggers that address only one trait at a time.

So instead of:
Code:
;------------------------------------------
Trigger dads_authoritarian
    WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

    Condition FatherTrait Authoritarian >= 1

    Affects NonAuthoritarian  1  Chance  50 
    Affects KindRuler  1  Chance  20 

;------------------------------------------
There is:
Code:
;------------------------------------------
Trigger dads_authoritarian1
    WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

    Condition FatherTrait Authoritarian >= 1

    Affects NonAuthoritarian  1  Chance  50 

;------------------------------------------

;------------------------------------------
Trigger dads_authoritarian2
    WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge

    Condition FatherTrait Authoritarian >= 1

    Affects KindRuler  1  Chance  20 

;------------------------------------------
Or something like that. My question is:

Does this affect performance?

I imagine it would, since now two triggers are tested instead of one. However, having the one trigger among many at the bottom of the .txt file makes it harder to edit (and I don't think the Lordz editor is very good, I'm sorry). Has anyone tried this?

My next question is:

Are there any generally good things to do with the Vices and Virtues to make them efficient, streamlined, etc?

I think that's it, except that if anyone has an extra handy-dandy V&V editor that is more flexible than the Lordz one I would greatly appreciate it. You can't even remove traits to my knowledge!

Oh, one more (unrelated) thing:

With "Show-Me" Scripts the AI can't actually use them, can they? Meaning using neat "Show-Me" scripts is another way to kick the AI while its down, correct?
