Changing the office holder of an office.

[Aule_the_creator]

I am trying to create an event that generates a character and makes him tribunus plebis, and I can't seem to make him tribune. The character generates well enough (even though I can't find any way to give him a set last_name, so he always becomes "Curii", but that's a minor issue that I am sure I can resolve on my own, hopefully).

I have tried prompts along the lines of

office_plebeian_aedile_latin = {
change_holder = populist_reformer
}

in addition to setting populist_refomer as the scope and giving that "set_office" and stuff like that.

I had originally planned on using the script for when you get the event where a character demands a government office, without remembering that I hate that event because you have to manually go look for the character in the government screen in that event (ip_generic.7, I think it was).

Any ideas?

It should be something like this (friend_target is just an example, you can set the scope yourself):

        scope:friend_target = {
            give_office = office_republic_physician
        }

You can type "script_docs" in your console command and it'll give you all the effect types,triggers etc... in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Imperator/logs

use CTRL+F to search for keywords.

And using grepWin (software you can download) you can even search such effects in the game files to try to find an example of their use.

Thank you for your help! Got it to work!

Why create one? Can't you use an already existing one? To avoid overloading the game with more characters and hurting performance.

PS: Whatever you're doing sounds promising
