How to add random events to planet exploration?
« on: January 18, 2024, 04:03:09 AM »
Hello, I'm working on a skill check / roleplaying mod (think FNV, BG3), and one thing I haven't figured out how to do yet is add random events to when you survey a planet. The idea is to spice up exploration, and give even more meaning to your skill choices.

If anyone knows of any resources that might illuminate how to accomplish this, please let me know, it will unblock development. I've already spent a lot of time trying to figure this out from the API and reading other mods' source, and for some reason it's not clicking.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: For clarification, I do know how to do branching dialog options and all that. What I'm stuck on is how to randomly initiate a dialog upon surveying a planet.

The rule for what happens when you click the "Perform a survey" button is in rules.csv (search surveyPerform)
