Lacking Entries?
Where are the entries for rightitemcharge and leftitemcharge, for the charge on the currently equipped weapon or staff? equippeditemcharge and equippedstaffcharge don't seem to do anything, but these two values do. Is there a reason they were left out? --Bluedanieru 22:37, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Modifying Actor Values

Hi does anybody know how to edit any of the actor values permanently for instance the healrates and healratemult. I basically want to edit the way that you heal. I can do it with console commands but was hoping the the Ce would allow a more permanent solution?

You edit each race's specific stats as seen here [[1]] or you could create spells with the fortifications you want and give them to yourself with player.addspell Fowl 18:55, 8 February 2012 (EST)

--:I really want to reduce the healing to 0 and have food play the part of activating the healing so I have set the base values low but need to edit the multiplier which is effected by fortications to 0. Because if you set the base to 0 then no amount of fortification will work it will just multiply by 0 = 0. I could do it with a script on a perk that you start with and have them hidden but that seems cumbersome it would be much easier if I could just edit the Actor Values healratemult and staminaratemult to 0 each.--Chrisbburn 07:37, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Chrisbburn, if you're still checking this page I have a convoluted workaround for you.

1.make a Magic Effect that uses Peak Value Modifier and HealRate and has the Detrimental and Recover flags checked

2.make an Ability, attach that magic effect with a magnitude high enough to make HealRate 0

3.conditionalize that entry on the Ability with something like HasMagicEffect -> YourFoodEffect -> != -> 1

That way the HealRate will only be above 0 when the player is affected by a food item.

Be careful with abilities, cause if your mod is adding an ability which is affecting an actor value (by Value modifier, or Peak Value Modifier), and if a user disable your mod, the actor value will still be affected (at least for the player, idk for NPCs)!

Use instead regular spells to ModAV : AV affected by a mod's regular spell will be instantly restored after the mod is disabling.

Just set a very long duration for each custom MagicEffect of the spell (2000 days or more). You can even create a "fake" ability only to be shown in the player menu to avoid to display the very long duration in the magic menu (then check the flag "Hide in UI" for each MagicEffect of the "real" spell).

Just found an easier method : simply add a condition to each MagicEffect of an ability (with a custom globalValue for ex), and the problem is gone. When you'll desactivate your mod, global will disappear, so each magicEffect will be dispelled, and ActorValues will be restored.

Thanks to Gérauld for finding that =)

Q&A

New Actor Value/Skill?
Is it possible to add new skills? I have attempted creating new Actor Values, but Script Name, Type, etc. seem uneditable.

This is not something the CK allows you to do. If you create a new AV and save your plugin, it will cause errors on load until you delete the modified AV.

--Cscottydont 22:19, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Are the skills AV directly linked to the actual skill level of the player, or you can play such AV independently of your skill level? (I'm thinking of a mod but no time to start working on it yet, and such information would be useful in planing stage if someone can answer me) Thanks LukeH 11:00, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Far as I know, they are one and the same thing. The player's AV for lockpicking *is* their skill in lockpicking, and so forth. So they're not "linked" - the AV is where this information is stored, so they are the exact same thing. The same for any other NPC. --Catwheezle 18:03, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

Perk Points?
What value determines how many unchosen perks the player has? I cannot find a variable for it or anything.

Existing mods that effect perk points use 3rd party applications like SKSE.
