MakeGlobal()

Do MakeGlobal() and MakeGlobalOverride() affect earlier saves or future playthroughs? If I record Edwin at 7th level with this action, is he going to be 1st level the next time around in Nashkel?

    Only within the current playthrough forward, i.e. the same kind of global as SetGlobal("variable","global",1).

    So what will happen if I add the protagonist?

    Huh? Common sense dictates, they would get added to the list of global actors... Except it probably won't do you any good, because its purpose is to store objects that can be called with MoveGlobal(), and without scripting name (pretty sure PC doesn't have any?) you wouldn't be able to call that.

    There are ways around that.

    Strangely, MakeGlobalOverride() doesn't work for me, at least not when imposed on an NPC with ActionOverride. I'm trying to get the high-level Edwin to show up for "edwin," but he still appears at 1st level.
