I don't know about give_trait, but create_unit works for me in this way:

Code:

console_command create_unit Segesta "merc italian peltast sm" 4

Looking at scripts in other mods, in this case EB, you can find the syntax for give_trait command:

Code:

console_command give_trait Rhaskos EasyToBribe 1

To find the name of the unit that the game will recognise look it up in
export_descr_unit.txt - the one it wants is the one on the 'type' line eg:

type thracian bodyguard early
dictionary thracian_generals_guard_cavalry_early ; General's Bodyguard
category cavalry

If you can't find the unit you want in there you might need to look it up in data/text/export_units.txt first

{thracian_generals_guard_cavalry_early} General's Bodyguard

there you'll see that what is shown in game is "general's bodyguard" but actual unit for that faction has dictionary line
thracian_generals_guard_cavalry_early
if you look that up in EDU you'll find the type line which is the line used in the cheat and in other recruitment files.

All I need is the list of unit types and proper names (that the game will recongnize) and these will work...yet noone seems to know where to find them, lol. This is the 5 forum for RTW I have posted on.

export_descr_unit.txt this is the file I printed up yesterday (all 121 pages of them) but they dont work, tells me unit_type not recgonzied.

Yep Squid, my mistake..

Charge, I believe the type line should be the one that's bolded for the EDU entry, not the dictionary line, since IIRC multiple units (i.e. EDU entries) can share the same dictionary entry.

No I am not blind, as I said. I found that file, Export_descr_units.TXT, and printed it. Those names dont work.

Hi Deadhuntr.

That is the file however, so maybe there's something else wrong with your code? Could you post a copy/paste of the relevant bit of your script?
