Help create new character

[Halblind]

Hej everybody,

I'm trying to create a small mod (my first one) It would just be a new character. However I'm not sure how to procede. What "ID" should I give the new character?
I also would like to make the new character a member of another one (which already exists in the game), do you know how I could do that?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I'd need some more details. You mean like adding a character to your court with an event or editing the province itself and creating a new ruler for it when the game start? And making him a member of what?

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

I want to create a historical character which is not in the game yet. This character would only be a courtier. I want him to be in the court of Absalon (in the game he is duke of Scania if I recall correctly) when the game starts around 1190 and in the court of Anders (Absalon's successor) when the game starts after Absalon's death in 1201.

New character can be any number that doesn't exceed 10 (IIRC) digits and isn't already used elsewhere. If in doubt, Ctrl+F the number you want to used to see if it's already taken up.
To put him/her in a designated court, use the "employer =" effect in the character's history.

    1190.1.1 = {
        employer = #Absalon's ID
    }
    1201.1.1 = {
        employer = #Anders's ID
    }

Just copy some guy code from |history->characters| and change values to what you want. I used "move [id]" command in game to check which ids are used. If u get nocharacter was moved to your court that means typed id is free and u can use it.
