Perk skill requirement not showing in game? : V

» Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:11 am

My custom perk is set up exactly as my other custom perks so I just cannot see why in the game you see your skill level but not the skill requirement as I do with all my other perks:

Skill LightArmor >= 60 and

hasperk MyOTherPerkA == 1 or

hasperk MyOTherPerkB == 1 and

Any ideas?

I don't have the CK at the moment so I can't check for sure, but I believe I usually set up my perk skill requirements using a GetActorValue condition, like:

GetActorValue LightArmor >= 60

Maybe that's what you meant by "Skill", but figured I'd post just in case :smile:

sorry, yes I did it that way: GetActorValue LightArmor >= 60

The really weird thing is I have other perks set up the exact same way (same 3 types of conditions) that show fine. Maybe I need to delete it and rebuild it?

maybe you ran your conditions on stg else (like say "target" instead of "subject") this time?

Thanks for the suggestion, you did help because as I was looking at the conditions (to see if I made the mistake you suggested) I FINALLY saw the real problem.

if you use GetActorValue This will work as a prerequisite to reward the perk however it will not show up in the game as a requirement.

You must use getBASEActorValue instead!

Strange - how many years I have been working with perks and did not realize that kind of mistake could happen. But I have seen other modders post in other threads about perks and they also posted they were using GetActorValue (instead of GetBaseActorValue) so I am suprised that is not more often an issue for discussion.

never realized there was a difference, might be good to know.

fine you could fix it anyhow :-)
