Creation Kit: Get Actors to Level Up with Player

[Fusiox]

Hello everybody!

 

Just a little question for today.

 

I am making a companion mod for myself, in order to get comfortable with the CK. However, I noticed that in the Actors window, there really is no setting to get an actor to level with you.

 

To make myself clear: I know it is possible to dynamically level an actor via the "PC Level Mult" setting, where the AI sets an actor's level to be permanently set based on the level of the player character (PC) when they first meet. However, there is nothing--at least, nothing that I've seen so far--that will update the actor's level and respective skills/stats every time the PC levels up.

 

Would this be a job that scripting can handle, or is there an AI package or some other setting that will do this for me? Don't worry, I do not need somebody to hold my hand and tell me exactly what I need to do; I'm comfortable enough with coding and toolkits to be able to figure it out myself. I'd just like to know any possible solutions, so that I don't dive into scripting if there's already an AI package or actor setting that will do the same.

 

Thanks in advance!

You can update the actor's level by using SetRace. Check the note on the wiki: http://www.creationkit.com/Stats_Tab

Just a thought,

You can use the latest version of the NPCEditor to alter the min <--> max levels of NPC's/Companions/followers and also set the % rate they level up compared to your character, works like a charm and is WAAAYYYY easier to use than the CK.

@Perraine, you'd still need to use the SetRace() trick regardless of what you used to create the NPC.

It's a bug, (or maybe intended behaviour).
