Adding Items (through dialogue?)

Post » Mon Aug 30, 2010 8:20 pm

Hi everybody.
I am working on a modded version of Operation Anchorage that makes the DLC much more difficult. Durring the main secion of the DLC the player is given some Recruitment Tokens (I assume through mid-dialogue scripting with Lt. Morgan) which allows the player to recruit some additional soldiers for the upcoming battles. What I would like to do is lessen the number of these Recruitment Tokens the player recieves, however I am no dialogue or script wizard, and hardly know where to start if I want to find where I edit this number of recieved tokens. Any help as to where I can edit this recieved number of tokens would be greatly appreciated. ^_^

It is in fact 'script wizard' material. If you wanted to look for it, I'd suggest checking the quest scripts or the dialogue result scripts which happen at that time. It may be complicated to change that number, you'd probably have to change it in several locations to make it work right.

Taking a very cursory glance at it, in the GREETING topic of quest DLC02OA3, the first entry for Lt. Morgan has a simple script that adds 5 recruitment tokens ('player.additem DLC02RecruitmentMarker 5'). What you want to do may well be as simple as changing that 5 to another number.

Also, check "Use Info" on the tokens to find out all the places they're used, scripts/quests/world etc. Right-click on them in the Object Window.
