distance before location is descovered dependant on survival skill

[TheBlob2]

a mod that makes it so how far your character has to be before a location is 'discovered' dependant on your character's survival skill, and with very low survival skill there is a chance a location won't be added at all

I've never thought about that, but that is absolutely spot on realistic. I love this idea.

does that mean you will do my request?

I think it's the iMapMarkerRevealDistance. If so pretty easy to script if you want me to take a shot at it.

BTW if anyone wants to do this before me (since I'm kind of swamped) and it *is* iMapMarkerRevealDistance, then it's just NVSE's SetNumericGameSetting.

no, I don't mean the distance before you see the marker on the compass, but how far you have to be before the "you have discovered X" message pops up and you get the XP boost

if you give me a script to work with, devin, I'll go through all of the vanilla game locations and add them. cut down on the work load for ya a bit, but I'm afraid my scripting prowess is near zero :/

As I said in my previous post, I believe it is iMapMarkerRevealDistance. I beleive the distance before you see the marker on the compass is iMapMarkerVisibleDistance. The default for iMapMarkerRevealDistance is 1000, tell me how you want that in relation to survival skill and I'll put the mod together (ie 2000 at 100 survival, 1 at 0 survival etc).

No need, this single game setting should do the trick.

I had a crack at making a script for this, although I haven't tested it yet. any thoughts on the script, devin?

scn BlobsSurvivalBasedNavigationScript

float SurvivalTimer
short SurvivalChecked
ref PCSurvival
ref PCPerception
ref CompassDistance
ref DiscoverDistance

begin GameMode
	if Survivalchecked == 0
		set SurvivalTimer to 20
		set SurvivalCheck to 1
		set PCPerception to player.getav perception
		set PCSurvival to player.getav survival
		set CompassDistance to ( ( PCSurvival + ( PCPerception * 10 ) ) * 10 )
		set Discoverdistance to ( PCSurvival * 30 )
		SetNumaricGameSetting IMapMarkerRevealDistance to DiscoverDistance
		SetNumaricGameSetting IMapMarkerVisibleDistance to CompassDistance
	else
		if SurvivalTimer > 0
			set SurvivalTimer to ( SurvivalTimer - getSecondsPassed )
		else
			set PCPerception to player.getav perception
			set PCSurvival to player.getav survival
			set CompassDistance to ( ( PCSurvival + ( PCPerception * 10 ) ) * 10 )
			set DiscoverDistance to ( PCSurvival * 30 )
			SetNumaricGameSetting IMapMarkerRevealDistance to DiscoverDistance
			SetNumaricGameSetting IMapMarkerVisibleDistance to CompassDistance
		endif
	endif
end

I don't think I'd worry about a timer as this is a script that would probably be associated with a quest (and you can set the time on the quest for how oftern you want the script to fire off).
