larryrathbun Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) So, I was having trouble with actor value functions and no one was able to help. I had hoped someone could point me to something like this. I guess it doesn't exist, so I went and made it. There are 9 different Actor Value functions. Four Get the values, 5 change the values. In these functions, you can abbreviate "Actor Value" as "AV". I'm going to do this throughout. I am also going to eliminate the reference "Player." in the explanations, "Player.GetActorValue Barter" is the same as "Player.GetAV Barter". There is a TL:DR at the bottom. Four "Getting" functions: Reveal hidden contents GetAVInfo - Returns a nice little block of useful info (this is a CONSOLE only function - you cannot use it in a script). Here's what it returns:Current Value: xxx.00 Computed Base: xxx.00Base Value ComponentsReference Base Value: xx.00Derived Value: xx.00SetAV Override: xx.00Modifiers: Temp: xx.00 Perm: xx.00 Damage: xx.00Level-up Value: xxx.00Breaking it down:Current Value = Computed Base + Temp + Perm - DamageComputed Base = Derived Value + SetAV Override Reference Base Value = (Anyone?) Derived Value = Reference Base Value + ((Attribute-3)*2) For example, Barter relies on Charisma. Charisma 5 increase derived value for Barter by 4 (5-3)*2 = 4 SetAV Override = The important one! This is a modifier that increases as you play and get level-ups and such.Modifiers: Temp: Perm: Damage: Temp = Modifiers from Ingestibles and Equipment go here. Perm = Permanent modifiers from perks (confirm?) and using "ModAV" Damage = Modifiers from "DamageAV" and "RestoreAV"Level-up value = Computed Base + Perm. This is your effective skill for level up.Real Example:I am going to run through all the functions using Barter as my example."player.getAVInfo Barter" returnsBarterCurrent Value: 100.00 Computed Base: 95.00Base Value Components Reference Base Value: 13.00 Derived Value: 27.00 SetAV Override: 68.00Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 5.00 Damage: 0.00Level-up Value: 100.00 GetAV - Returns the "Current Value""player.getAV Barter" returns 100GetBaseAV - Returns the "Computed Base""player.getBaseAV Barter" returns 95GetPermanentAV - Returns the "Level-up Value""player.getBaseAV Barter" returns 100 Now for the functions that change these values. I am going to run through each of them, using Barter as an example. At the end I will provide a TL:DR one line summary for each. In the examples, I underlined the field to watch as the example progresses. SetActorValue SetAV Reveal hidden contents Starting from this point:BarterCurrent Value: 100.00 Computed Base: 95.00Base Value Components Reference Base Value: 13.00 Derived Value: 27.00 SetAV Override: 68.00Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 5.00 Damage: 0.00Level-up Value: 100.00First I setAV Barter 50. GetAVInfo Barter returns:BarterCurrent Value: 82.00 Computed Base: 77.00Base Value Components Reference Base Value: 13.00 Derived Value: 27.00 SetAV Override: 50.00Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 5.00 Damage: 0.00Level-up Value: 82.00GetAV returns 82 (Current Value)GetBaseAV returns 77. (Computed Base or Derived Value + SetAV Override.)GetPermanentAV returns 82 (Level-up Value)Then I setAV Barter -40. GetAVInfo Barter returns:BarterCurrent Value: -8.00 Computed Base: -13.00Base Value Components Reference Base Value: 13.00 Derived Value: 27.00 SetAV Override: -40.00Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 5.00 Damage: 0.00Level-up Value: 0.00What do we know?SetAV changes the AV Override not the value.You can make this negative if you want.Then put it back to 50 using setAV Barter 50. GetAVInfo Barter returns:BarterCurrent Value: 82.00 Computed Base: 77.00Base Value Components Reference Base Value: 13.00 Derived Value: 27.00 SetAV Override: 50.00Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 5.00 Damage: 0.00Level-up Value: 82.00 ModActorValue ModAV Reveal hidden contents Starting from this point:BarterCurrent Value: 82.00 Computed Base: 77.00Base Value Components Reference Base Value: 13.00 Derived Value: 27.00 SetAV Override: 50.00Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 5.00 Damage: 0.00Level-up Value: 82.00First I ModAV Barter 10.

GetAVInfo Barter returns:BarterCurrent Value: 62.00 Computed Base: 77.00Base Value Components Reference Base Value: 13.00 Derived Value: 27.00 SetAV Override: 50.00Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 5.00 Damage: -20.00Level-up Value: 82.00What do we know:DamageAV applies a negative damage modifier. (Damage)It's the absolute value of the passed value.

(Damage)It's the absolute value of the passed value.It can't take the Damage Modifier above 0. ForceActorValue ForceAV Reveal hidden contents This is the dangerous one. Fear this one. Not as much as we did because know we know how it works.Starting from this point:BarterCurrent Value: 82.00 Computed Base: 77.00Base Value Components Reference Base Value: 13.00 Derived Value: 27.00 SetAV Override: 50.00Modifiers: Temp: 0.00 Perm: 15.00 Damage: 0.00Level-up Value: 82.00First, I ForceAV Barter 10.

TL:DR GetAVInfo (console only) Returns a block of info about the value. GetAV Returns the "Current Value" GetBaseAV Returns the "Computed Base" GetPermanentAV Returns the "Level-up Value" SetAV: Changes the AV Override not the value. You can make this negative if you want. ModAV ModAV applies a permanent modifier (Perm) It can be positive or negative DamageAV DamageAV applies a negative damage modifier. (Damage) It's the absolute value of the passed value. RestoreAV RestoreAV applies a positive damage modifier. (Damage) It's the absolute value of the passed value. It can't take the Damage Modifier above 0. ForceAV ForceAV applies a Permanent modifier to make the Current Value Exactly what you pass to ForceAV You CAN modify with other functions afterward.
