LE Get player's difficulty level from script

[layam]

In the CK, does anyone know of a way to get the currently selected difficulty level of the player from within a script. I've tried looking for a likely looking global variable, and there don't seem to be any functions to return that. Anyone tried this before? Edited December 4, 2012 by layam

's probably sDifficulty from gamesettings (not tested)

You should be able to read it with one of

float Function GetGameSettingFloat(string asGameSetting)

 

• Obtains the value of a float game setting.

float Function GetGameSettingInt(string asGameSetting)

 

• Obtains the value of an int game setting.

float Function GetGameSettingString(string asGameSetting)

 

• Obtains the value of a string game setting.

(I'm guessing it's a float - everything's a bloody float)

This one really made me lol. I've tested it out and Game.GetGameSettingString("sDifficulty") (it's a string setting) always returns difficulty as a string. That is, it always returns the string "Difficulty". Thanks for the post though, it was a good try.

WTF Bethesda? :rolleyes:

 

Anyway, it's bound to be in that massive list of gamesettings somewhere...

I've got a feeling that the game engine can't change game settings at runtime. There are a whole load of settings there to control the weight of each difficulty level, but I'm guessing actually choosing and applying the difficulty is buried somewhere in native code.
