Senate offices as traits

[Lusted]

Malrubius from EB has helped me a bit with this already, but i've come across a problem. I have a unified rome in my mod, using the julii. So the senate is removed so no senate offices/senate missions. But after hearing that EB had senate offices in i decided to pm malrubius about it and try and do this myself. I forgot about this for a bit(making all the sprites for a mod will do that to you), but i decided to give it another go recently. I have a modified version of his GAFH mod in my mod. I added in some of the traits and triggers he said, modified to work with my mod, and loaded up a camapign. It seemed to work, with me now having a few people with the Quaestor office. But no one was getting any of the other offices, they would just be a Quaestor, serve their term then become and ex-Quaestor(thanks to malrubius for the help with the term lengths as well). The triggers should be working as they are only slightly modified versions of the EB ones, modified to fit in with the traits i have in my mod so it should work. Now im at college at the moment so i cant post the code, which i will do later, but does have any ideas now what may be wrong?

Now can anyone help me work out why only Quaestor works, and can anyone suggest a set of triggers that would mean you have to have one rank before the next, except for Pontifex Maximus which will be independent of the rest.

Here are the TurnsAlive traits and triggers referred to in the triggers for the offices

[BrandonM]

I think it's the Turns Alive < lines. Qaestor is the only one that doesn't have it.
It's probably not working like you think it is.

[Lusted]

Quaestor does have that line, its missing the turnsalive > line, ill try it without that, i've tried some other triggers with moderate success ill post back here to see if it works or not.

[Lusted]

Nvm, i've sorted it out myself, this can be closed.

[Lusted]

Right, i could still use some help with the triggers, the offices are working fine, its just characters do not really progress through them, any ideas on better triggers?
