Hey quick modding question, is there a way to make an event fire on initialisation with the target being a character who is already dead, I've tested the event through console with the character ID and it does exactly what I want it to even though he is dead, but I can't work out how to make it trigger on its own
Can you make an event trigger for a dead character?

I think that the answer is yes, the trick is that when you scope to the character you add the conditional "even_if_dead = yes" or similar. Check the Wiki for full details.
would that mean we could make an event to remove the dead tag? "I cast ressurection on Xenia! come forth come forth and serve me!"
I was looking at that on the list but whilst there are things like mother_even_if_dead etc there isn't a "character _even_if_dead" listed in scopes and I'm trying to scope it to an id so I really need it to target through a character scope
Could you copy however sainthood gets applied? I know that can fire years after death even if there are no living descendants of the saint.
Okay, so i did a text search on the CK2 events folder for the term even_if_dead and got 31 file hits each containing dozens of individual hits. The hits though range from mother_even_if_dead, any_child_even_if_dead, father_even_if_dead and so on. It seems therefor that the text even_if_dead s a suffix that can be used with some (or all) other individual character scopes. Try it and let us know !
I just checked and there is nothing in particular that brings the character back alive, but since it is possible to scope to a dead character then you might try giving the target a small positive Health bonus, just in case "death" is defined in the game as having a zero Health stat. If it is then making a zero Health character have say 3 Health should bring them back to life, if it isn't then alive/dead must be defined via some internal flag.
