traits

[drekx]

Is there a way to make it so that a trait needs an event to be acquired? I want to add a trait but have it so that randomly generated characters can't start out with it.

Edit: Also is there a way to create events that can only be activated for certain families? I've tried to use family and family_name with trigger but it doesn't work or doesn't seem to at least heh.

all auto-generated characters can get some of all traits randomly. if you want to give a trait only by an event, its necessary to make a "clearing event" for automatic given traits and mark rightly given traits by your event with a (unvisible) character_flag. take a look at spqr (events/admin_traits.txt) for examples, how this can be modded.

the trigger "family = x" inside characterevents should working (from the manual). do you create really CHARACTER-events? and have you write the family-names EXACTLY as they are written in common/families/?

i've been trying to create certain traits that can only be received by events and then have some of those passed down through the family. I was playing with one of the death events but i couldn't get it to trigger properly and i tried both family = x and family_name = x and both didn't seem to work which is why i was asking. Maybe i have an error somewhere else, thanks for the reply. I'll look at admin_traits, i didn't know which event files to check cause there's a bunch of them and i got tired reading through some of them. Thank you.
