scope problem

[joemann]

I am having trouble in a narrative event to find the right scope to use in the localization file.

 

I am trying to get the text to say that my slave  <Marian> whom I have identified as [FromFromFrom.Get FirstName], which works in game, belonged to her spouse Mohammed. [FromFromFromSpouse.GetFirstName] is one of the things I tried that does not work. Does anybody have the solution to get the spouses name to show-up?

Maybe you're merging scopes incorrectly? (I'm only somewhat familiar with advanced scope use, so I may be wrong).

 

Different scopes should be separated by a period. "From" and "FromFrom" are both valid scopes. However, I don't see "FromFromFrom" listed as a valid scope, so it may break the event. Likewise, "Spouse" and "From" are definitely distinct scopes, so should be separated by a period.

If anything, it'd be [FromFromFrom.Spouse.GetFirstName]. If that doesn't work (meaning there's no spouse scope change for localisation, then in the immediate clause of the event do FROMFROMFROM = { spouse = { save_event_target_as = mytarget } } and in the localisation use [mytarget.GetFirstName]. (you can obviously replace "mytarget" by whatever you want

Your first solution worked. Learned something again. Thanks!

I'm trying your second option now. In case the character has no Spouse I would like to have the Liege as an alternative. Would this code work?

 

FromFromFrom = {
                if = {
                    limit = {spouse_even_if_dead
                    }
                    else_if = {
                            limit = {liege
                            }
                        }
                 = {save_event_target_as = mytarget }}

 

If  yes, where do I insert this code (is it a definition?) in the event description?

 

I do not have an immediate clause in my event.
