SniperHF:

== Character Creation for Standalone Adventures ==
Larian is working on a [[My_first:_Adventure|character creation template]], but in the meantime this guide will show you how to get something working for now. Unfortunately it does not work for multiplayer.

== Requirements ==
[[https://docs.larian.game/Working_with_projects| Create an adventure mod]].
[[https://docs.larian.game/Working_with_levels| Make a basic level]]
[https://docs.larian.game/File:Basic_Character_Creation.zip Download the Scripts]

'''This tutorial is only for standalone adventure mods and will not work with mods that have "Origins" as a dependency'''

== Setting up the Story Scripts ==
* Unzip the [[File:Basic Character Creation.zip|Basic_Character_Creation.zip]] file to the folder:
\Divinity Original Sin 2\Data\mods\YOUR MOD HERE\Story\RawFiles\Goals
These scripts are pulled from D:OS 2 Origins and modified.

* Launch the editor, open your adventure mod, and open the level you intend to be the first one after character creation finishes. If your level does not have an [[https://docs.larian.game/AI_grid_panel| AI grid]], you need to generate one.

* Open the [[https://docs.larian.game/Story_editor| Story Editor]], the goals you copied should now be on the left pane.

* Expand the goal _BasicCC_Creation_Start. Open the goal file _BasicCC_CharacterCreation

[[File:BCCStoryEditor1.png|Modify the INIT section]] 
 

* Change the strings in the following entries seen above as the name of your first level.

DB_CharacterCreationTransitionInfo("Level1" 

DB_GLO_FirstLevelAfterCharacterCreation("Level1");

* Save your work.

== Setting up the Trigger ==

* Go to the Root Templates pane, find the point trigger, and place one on the level you need players to be transported to when character creation is finished.

* Name your trigger something logical then check the global box on the side bar.

* Right click your trigger and copy the TypeGUID_Name_GUID to clipboard.

*Paste the TypeGUID_Name_GUID into the goal _BasicCC_Creation_Start in the DB:
DB_CharacterCreationTransitionInfo("Level1"
* *NOTE* Do not delete the blue prefix (TRIGGERGUID), paste your information after that.

BCCStoryEditor1.png| Paste it into the story editor in the blue box.

== Verify the Generic Origins ==

*The Generic Origin characters are inherited from the SHARED datapack.
*You need to double check that they have the same GUID in your mod as they do in the scripts. They most likely are the same.
 
* Open the [[World outliner|World Outliner]],
* Click the orange button on the top right corner to show all global objects.
* Find the character S_Player_GenericOrigin and copy the TypeGUID_Name_GUID to clipboard.
 
* Back in the story editor, compare the TypeGUID_Name_GUID you copied to the one in the DB: 
DB_GenericOrigins((CHARACTERGUID)S_Player_GenericOrigin_7b6c1f26-fe4e-40bd-a5d0-e6ff58cef4fe);

* the GUIDs are most likely the same, if not replace it.

* Still in the story editor, press CONTROL+F7 to generate definitions, build, and reload.

== Configure the Project Settings ==

* On the top menu go to Project > Project Settings
* Click the "General" tab.
* Change both the Startup Level and CharacterCreation Level to "SYS_Character_Creation_A".
* SYS_Character_Creation_A is located in the SYS folder. You will have to click on the top right corner "Show Inherited Levels"

<gallery>
BCCProjectSettings.png | Change both of the levels marked by the green arrow.
BCCLevelSelect3.png| Show the inherited levels.
</gallery>

* Save your work

== Finished ==

* Now your character should be usable both in the editor and in the game proper. Test it out!
* You will need to close out and reopen your project to see the changes in the editor.
