Question Regarding retaining character levels.

[Balderdasq]

So, let's say I make a chapter and load Karel with UNIT Karel Swordmaster Eliwood Level(8,Ally,False) [0,0] [0,0] [Wo Dao] NoAI. If someone else plays this hack and levels Karel up a bit, how should I load karel in the next chapter to make sure he retains his level ups?

You just load him like any other unit.

[Balderdasq]

So, would I not put in a specific level for him in the next chapter?

[CT075]

it will ignore whatever you put

[Balderdasq]

For clarity, if I load Karel as a level 8 swordmaster, and the player levels him up, I can just put in any level while loading him in the next chapter?

[Primefusion]

Yes. Same goes for items.
In chapter 1 you can just do:

UNIT Karel Swordmaster 0 Level(8,Ally,False) [1,1] [1,1] [WoDao, SilverSword, Elixir] NoAI

And then in chapter 2 just do:

UNIT Karel Swordmaster 0 Level(1,Ally,False) [1,1] [1,1] [0x00] NoAI

After chapter 1 he'll be in memory/on the save file, so the game will load him from there instead of making a new Karel.

or repeat the exact same line
the only thing the game checks for when loading existing pc units is their loading location

Gotcha. Thank you all!
