A function included in the GECK version 1.1.0.36.
Description
Increments the rank of the specified perk on an Actor. If the specified Actor doesn't already have the perk, then it will be added with rank 1.
Syntax
Actor.AddPerk PerkID:ref
Example
BuddyRef.AddPerk LittleSlugger
Buddy now has the benefits of the little slugger perk.
Notes
- Loading a savegame in which the player has a mod-ceated perk, when the mod that created it is no longer installed, may crash the game. If you know the FormId of the Perk, you can remove it from yourself using the console. Modders are also strongly advised to provide an in-game means for players to remove perks, should they wish to uninstall.
One simple way is to provide an "uninstaller" esm file, that the user must install, load their game, and save it, before they remove the mod. The esm will do nothing but remove the perks, and contains one quest, "PerkRemovalQuest", set to "start game enabled", with a Quest-type script:
ScriptName ExampleQuestScript
Begin GameMode
player.AddItem ExampleBook 1
player.AddPerk ExamplePerk
StopQuest ExampleQuest
End
- This function is new in the GECK, and was not available in the TES4 Construction Set.
