Hi,

I'm looking for ways to modify the player's starting health (100). I know I could do it by going to Actors > Player and tweaking the health offset but I've heard that editing the player actor directly is bad practise. Is there another way to do it?

There is a global setting in the CK called fPCBaseHealthMult but changing it does apparently nothing to base health.

Make a quest add a player alias than attach this script to him:

Game.GetPlayer.SetActorValue("health", 50.0)

But it's good practice to do it this way:

Actor Property PlayerREF AutoPlayerREF.SetActorValue("health", 50.0)

you can use these to set the player's health to whatever you want.

Actors>player? There is no form for the player in the ck. You could modify the races but your changing would apply to any npc then. I would do this in-game by using a console command; not sure that it would work though. Maybe this command if you want to change the health level permanently:

player.setav health xx

where xx is the value you want the player to have. Or, if you want the player to have damaged health only:

player.damageactorvalue health xx

Otherwise I don't know.

Interesting! Thank you for the insight. I suppose using this method won't cause conflicts with other mods that also make the player a quest alias?

edit: @Therhatran: yes there is. See: http://i50.tinypic.com/29lzd47.jpg

Nope, shouldn't cause any conflicts.

Beautiful. Thank you for your help.

Np, glad I could help : )
