Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Troubleshooting Moving a variable from a script to a story script

As title: Is this possible? I'm trying to generate a random name from a list of names in a script, and then change my character's name to that. But I store the chosen string in a variable, how do I use that variable in the story script?

One of the GetVarString or GetVarFixedString queries will probably do it.

You'd still need an event of some sort though because I don't think Osiris can react on a VarString being set. So just add in a globalflag or an object flag.


But Can you actually rename characters via story script? It wouldn't surprise me if you could I've just never tried.

Is there some particular reason you did the randomization in charscript? I think you'd be better off doing all of it in Osiris if you can. You can easily add the random names to a database, each with a number. Run a Random query to find the number to match the DB entries.

So I got it working! Kinda...

The script generates a random name, and I can pass it to my Story script via GetVarString.

I'm doing it as follows:


Problem is? it only works once. If I try to reload my mod it instantly crashes the editor and I can never load my mod again.

But...why? Can anyone explain why this is?
