Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Quality of life trick

You might already know this, but I'll post it anyhow. In Larian's combat tutorial, they set a wolf off stage, and had it appear at a trigger.

I just figured out (and maybe im slow) that you can have an off stage character appear at itself. Saves you from placing and naming a trigger. Just place the monster where you want it to spawn, and use CharacterAppearAtCharacter, targeting itself.

Cool. I'll add another one to the list.

If you add the Greevers_Little_Helpers goal file(or just the code) to your mod there's a handy statement in it called global event memory.



This generates a handy database of your flags; it outputs as DB_GlobalEvent("globaleventname")

I'm using this for implementing choices and consequences in certain areas.

Learned a new one:

IF
CharacterIsKilledByCharacter(_Monster, _Player)

does NOT fire if the monster is killed by poison / burning / any other world damage that doesn't come from a direct sword or spell from a player.

This stumped me for f*cking ever. I couldn't figure out why a script was only firing sometimes.
