Usage Tips

Check Pregnancy Status: Use query commands to check if a hero is pregnant:

# Check hero details including pregnancy status
gm.query.hero_info Ira
gm.query.hero_info lord_1_3

# Then abort if needed
gm.hero.abort_pregnancy Ira

Re-Impregnate After Abortion: After aborting a pregnancy, the hero can be impregnated again immediately:

gm.hero.abort_pregnancy Ira
gm.hero.impregnate Ira Derthert

Undo Accidental Impregnation: If you accidentally impregnated the wrong hero or with the wrong father:

# Abort the unwanted pregnancy
gm.hero.abort_pregnancy Ira

# Re-impregnate with the correct father
gm.hero.impregnate Ira Derthert

Error Handling

Hero Not Found: If the hero query matches no heroes:

Error: No hero found matching '{query}'.

Solution: Verify the hero exists using gm.query.hero first.

Multiple Matches: If the query matches multiple heroes:

Error: Multiple heroes found matching '{query}'. Please be more specific.

Solution: Use the exact hero StringId or a more specific name.

Not Pregnant: If the specified hero is not pregnant:

Error: {name} is not pregnant.

Solution: Verify the hero's pregnancy status with gm.query.hero_info first.

Notes

Clean Removal: The command removes both the pregnancy flag and the underlying pregnancy record, ensuring a clean state. The hero can be impregnated again immediately.

No Birth Events: Unlike gm.hero.give_birth, this command does not fire any native birth events. No child is created and no game systems are notified of a birth.

No Side Effects: Aborting a pregnancy has no effect on the hero's health, relationships, or clan status.

Single Quotes Required: The TaleWorlds console system requires SINGLE QUOTES (not double quotes) for multi-word arguments. Double quotes will not work.

Named and Positional Arguments: Both named (hero:value) and positional arguments are supported. Named arguments use the format argName:value with no spaces around the colon.
