Hello,

We're currently trying to alter the Leveling system of Skyrim. However, we haven't yet been able to find a command that increases the player's level. Or just a function that sets the players level.
It seems to be working in the console though.

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Nick

What you're looking for is in the "Game" script. I can't see anything about leveling up completely but you can force a skill level up.

By the way, have you found any way to give the player additional spendable perk points via script?

You simply cannot use Papyrus to set the player's level. It isn't in the http://www.creationkit.com/Actor_Value_List

You can set anything on that list though with this:
Function SetActorValue(string asValueName, float afValue) native
Function SetAV(string asValueName, float afValue)

Translates to Game.GetPlayer().SetAV("Health", 5)

Maybe SKSE will give us a means to do so...

You can forcefully level up skills though. http://www.creationkit.com/IncrementSkillBy_-_Game

Which will in turn level the player. Yes, but that isn't what was asked. Though I suppose you could force a bunch of skill ups, then remove them after the level up, but that would'nt be efficient or workable I think.

Hi!

Thanks for the quick reply.

@Candlemaster

No, unfortunately we haven't. The only option seems to be the AddPerk-Function which adds a desired perk. But to get two perk points instead of one each levelup seems impossible so far.

@Aellis

Okay, thats what we thought. I'm still wondering why there's a way to level up via the console but no function in the CK. So the only way seems to be forcefully leveling the skills and thus filling up the level process bar.
Is there a function to do that in the Script Extender? is there any way to find out?

Thank you,

Nick

What I was planning for a small mod of my own is the ability to trade in dragon souls for spare perk points. I can spend dragon souls easily enough, but we can't add perks...

There's lots of GetSomething with no corresponding Set. And vice versa. I just saw a thread listing some of them. Either a major oversight or a major f up on Bethesda's part.

A Papyrus Get / SetLevel has been requested from SKSE. However, there is no way for us to know if it will make the first public release of the Papyrus linkage.

As an alternative to the perk points, you can let your users know they can use the uncapper mod to allocate more than one per point per level. But it's hard coded into a dll.

Forcing skills up via script wont work AFAIK. skills increased by script do not count towards the levelup and don't cause an OnStorySkillIncrease event. At least not if you use the console.

Game.AdvanceSkill("asSkill", X) does indeed count towards level-up. http://www.creationkit.com/AdvanceSkill_-_Game

ah, good to know. I have always used Actor.setav.
