Talk:AddToFaction - Actor

Does this make the player friendly with a normally hostile faction if added to it?

Unforunately, it does not. You need to change the factions' reaction to friendly. --Lisselli (talk)

AddToFactions

This function is for adding the player or an actor to many factions and optionally changing that faction's reaction.

Function AddToFactions(Actor akActor, Faction akFaction, Faction[] akFactions, Bool abSetReactions=False, Int aiNewValue=0)

	; Adding the actor to many factions first.
	Int Index = akFactions.Length
	While (Index)
		Index -= 1
		akActor.AddToFaction(akFactions[Index])
	EndWhile
	
	; Setting the faction reactions to be neutral, an enemy, or friendly with the calling faction. (0,1,2,3)
	; Note: Adding the player to ,for example, a Wolf Faction will not make them friends. You must change the Wolf faction's faction reaction to 3.
	if !abSetReactions	
		While Index
			Index += 1
			akFaction.SetReaction(akFactions[Index], aiNewValue)
		EndWhile
	endif


EndFunction

1. Advantages
   1. Don't need to make multiple AddToFaction calls, or make a lot of Faction properties.
   2. Can choose rather to change reactions or not.
2. Disadvantages
   1. Cannot be used to remove the actor from all factions at once(yet).
