{Another Noob Papyrus Question Thread} Expressing Actor Values as Int?

[adzscott]

I'm having trouble expressing actor values (Perception and luck in this case) as integers. The endgoal is to multiply the players luck and perception levels to create a third integer (PL).

 

 

Any attempt to express actor values as integers within a perk-fragment (see below two examples) spits out the "type mismatch while assigning to a int (cast missing or types unrelated)" error.

int PL = (Game.GetPerceptionAV())*(Game.GetLuckAV()) 

i

int P = Game.getPerceptionAV()

Any idea what's causing this?

use getvalue() but it returns a float that idk if you can equal it to an int and then it does an automatic cast or you have to type it (variable as int).

GetLuckAV() is like Getplayer(), it returns the actor value itself so you can point to it (instead of making a property), it does not return the value of the actor value. Hence the type mismatch. Floats are auto cast to int, but you can add "as Int" after the getvalue to make sure, so this should work:

Int PL = (GetValue(Game.GetPerceptionAV()) * GetValue(Game.GetLuckAV())) as Int
