How do you permanently Alter combatants via script (avoiding the schematics editor)?

paulgswanson · November 2023

Gil,
How do you set a player name via script?
I know I want Index 0,1,2, and 3

I want to set it via my own gui.

I see there is a Schematics.Nodes.SetCombatantNameNode
But I don't want to use the schematics editor for this.

I want to set Name, Gender and Class on the 1st 4 combatants, immediately at game start. And just replace the placeholder prefabs listed on the Combatants page entirely.

If I had to do this via the Schematics editor it would have several branching chains and it would very quickly get out of control. I struggle with node editors on the best of days, so was hoping to just script it manually.

Ideas?

Was kind of hoping to find something along the lines of this:

    ORKFramework.Combatant CBT1 SetName = CBT1_Name.ToString()
    ORKFramework.Combatant CBT1 SetClass = CBT1_Class[0]
    ORKFramework.Combatant CBT1 SetPrefab = Gameobject.Female.Whitemage;

While I was waiting for a answer, i did my best coming up with a Schematic solution, however I've hit a snag.
Is there a equipped combatant class text code? SO that once its selected the player can confirm that's what they want? Since there's no going back after the initial selection.

Name: combatant.name=5432a9bb-1da3-4073-9401-1079ba635355
Class:

You can set a combatant's name like this:
combatant.RenameableName = "New Name";

You can access the player group via ORK.Game.ActiveGroup, e.g. the player:
Combatant player = ORK.Game.ActiveGroup.Leader;
Or a specific member via index:
Combatant member = ORK.Game.ActiveGroup.MemberAt(index);

How do you permanently Alter combatants via script (avoiding the schematics editor)?

Howdy, Stranger!
