ForceActorValue - Actor
Revision as of 03:31, 4 November 2018 by imported>DavidJCobb (→Notes: More detailed explanation based on disassembly. TODO: What happens if we modify our example a bit? What happens if the base is 150, the current 120, and we force to 0?)
Member of: Actor Script

Syntax

Function ForceAV(string asValueName, float afNewValue)
ForceActorValue(asValueName, afNewValue)
EndFunctionParameters
- asValueName: The name of the actor value to force. Actor Value List

Examples
; Force the player's health to 50
Game.GetPlayer().ForceActorValue("health", 50.0)
; Force Jake's health to 10
Jake.ForceAV("Health", 10.0)Notes
- This function modifies the current value as opposed to the base value. To set the base value, see SetActorValue - Actor.
- To elaborate on that a bit, this function modifies the "permanent modifier" described in the Actor Value documentation, and that affects how the current value is computed. If an actor has a base health of 125 and you force their health to 0, then the permanent modifier will be set to -125, and their current health will become 0. If you then set the base health to 150, they will still have a permanent modifier of -125, so their current health will instantly become 25 (150 - 125).
