Help with scripting for my Alexandros mod

[Epistolary Richard]

No, it only works for family members as it was designed to be used for traits.

The work around is to use a CharacterTurnStart or SettlementTurnStart event with a I_SettlementOwner conditional for that settlement. Easy to start, but it's hard to stop it triggering on subsequent turns (terminate_monitor will not stop it triggering when you reload the game) - you can block it either by using having the script place a blocker building and adding a SettlementBuildingExists condition (TFT does this) - or by using a trait that is added through the traits file and which subsequently blocks the monitor triggering again (I believe EB does this, maybe RG as well).

Thank you a lot for the fast answer.
About "terminate_monitor will not stop it triggering when you reload the game" issue, the idea of using traits/buildings to save information before reloads is great, and this reminds me a related question:
Do you know if someone has checked the "GameReloaded" event. Has somebody been able to use this event succesfully?
I was thinking if it could be used to detect when you reload a game, and maybe, we could use it to relaunch a background script.

It got added in 1.5, I think. But I've never tested it. It couldn't be used to relaunch a script, but it might be able to be used to prompt the adviser to reappear.

I was quite surprised to find that the GeneralCaptureSettelment is triggered if an army commanded by a captain captures a city. I have been using this in a campaign script for many months now.

Ah, you learn something new everyday.

I have been making some tests and I can confirm this: Captains also triggers the GeneralCaptureSettelment event.
I have seen that EB script uses I_SettlementOwner. If someone from EB read this, you can save a lot of lines in your script if you change to GeneralCaptureSettelment.
