I am not completly sure, but did you save real_father as scope? Or are you trying to access variable on real_father property (without checking in effects wiki page I not sure if that is a property). If that is not a scope, bat a property you do not need scope: part.
Best way to test this is to open object explorer, then in drop down menu search for living characters (or even better landing ruler or indenpedentent landed ruler if your character is one of those), then search for character you want to test on. Then click on him. This will open excecution screen. Here you can test lots of stuff. First vertical tab have list of all scopes and scoped list which are result of code you executing. Here you can see if you have real_father scope, after you execute your code. Then you have a triggers, i did not use them. Then you have place to write code and to excecute It. You have 2 options here, parse which will show you effect of code, and run which will execute your code. Parsing will not show you what scopes are updated or what varibles are set, but rather what game are a game effects. Here you try diferent variation of your code to see what is exact way to write something. You can try something like:
Code:
if = {
limit = {
real_father.my_variable = var:my_variable
}
set_variable = { name = some_name value = some_value}
}
In next 2 section you will find all permanently saved list and variable for that character. You can even change/add/delete them. Here you can check what was the value of your my_variable variable. Also you can check if some_name variable is assigned some_value. When you have that you have found right way to write your condition. If you want see value for my_variable for father character you need to close this screen and reopen it with that other character.
Ps: One more advice, that code executor is not best place for writting code. Write it somewhere else and just copy paste it there.
