Script to change gameplay settings on level up?

[drakeelvin]

I have a section of script to change gameplay settings on level up; however, I am wondering where would be the place to put it?

 

Could I create a script for the "Player" NPC that monitors the player's changing level and takes action?

 

Or is there a particular existing script involved in the level up process that I could modify?

 

Thanks!

I've done it in a quest script. I wouldn't modify the player object in any way.

 

scn MyLevelUpQuestScript


short iLevelupFlag
short iCurrentLevel
short iPreviousLevel


BEGIN MenuMode 1027
;------------ Level-Up menu ------------------

set iLevelupFlag to 1
return

END


BEGIN GameMode

if iCurrentLevel == 0	;first time init
	set iCurrentLevel to Player.GetLevel
	set iPreviousLevel to iCurrentLevel
else
	set iCurrentLevel to Player.GetLevel
	if (iLevelupFlag)
		if (iCurrentLevel == iPreviousLevel)	;Do nothing. Some perk mods use menumode 1027
		else
			;Do things when level changes
			set iPreviousLevel to iCurrentLevel
                               	set iLevelupFlag to 0
		endif
	endif
endif

END

Awesome, thanks so much RickerHK!

 

I am brand new to quest scripts, in fact now that I finally finished up my companions pretty much to my satisfaction I want to start working on some simple quests for them -- was thinking of adding a quest pack like an add on to the companion so I could add more later.

 

With that quest script of yours will it always get scanned by the game engine as-is or do I need some way to trigger it?

You could have the quest start in a dialog result script:

StartQuest MYLevelUpQuest

 

Or have it 'start game enabled' and put a condition on whether you want it to do it's thing.

 

A quest script that is running is always processed by the game every 5 seconds by default.

Thanks again, HK!
