Play As Anyone

Any way to get this to work with the Elder Kings mod?

For tracking purposes here's a discussion about the bug: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/modding-quick-questions.589686/post-26716915

@petdoc1991 Unfortunately set_player_character = ROOT (the technique this mod uses to move from one player to another) moves players by "ending" the session causing the score to be tallied and placed in the "character_history={ ... }" section of the save file. The score is then added to whatever the previous value was for the characters in the list for player_name="MrHuman". As far as I am aware, there is no technique to do the equivalent of the console command to "play [id]". Definitely a bummer because this mod is a time-saver if it weren't for this bug.

You deserve a medal for this mod. So much time saved

THANK YOU! I wanted to play the whole dynasty not just the main ruler, i got sick of typing "play ID" in console all the time. You saved me.

is there a way to change the decision so I cant get points? I think the game is counting the targeted person as an heir.

@Nickonomicon dont think so

does this mod allow you to play as non-landed charachters

You should add that we can play as Baron

Yep, so that's why this mod doesn't work. It requires Patch 3.0+

From patch 3.0 changelog at https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Patch_3.0

"Added effect set_player_character, which makes the player controlling the current character control the target character instead. Example: "set_player_character = player_heir" would result in the player taking over as their heir. Be careful, as it is entirely possible to cause an instant game over using this effect. The effect does *not* enforce remaining within the same dynasty. This effect works even in multiplayer, hence the need to be scoped to the player's character"
