I recently developed a message scrambling system that would adjust what players spoke in-game depending on their intelligence. Since a low intelligence player typically has a score of ten or higher, this system would randomly adjust 10% of the characters in any message for these players, while higher intelligence players would have less interference. This means that relaying exact messages (e.g. code words) is a bit more difficult, requiring some repeating. I thought I would share the code and see if others have produced something similar.
void main()
{
string sMessage = GetPCChatMessage();
string sScramble = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
int iInt = GetAbilityScore(GetPCChatSpeaker(), ABILITY_INTELLIGENCE);
int iLength = GetStringLength(sMessage);
int iIndex = iLength;
while(iIndex--)
{
if(!Random(iInt))
{
sMessage = GetStringLeft(sMessage, iIndex)
+ GetStringRight(GetStringLeft(sScramble, Random(26) + 1), 1)
+ GetStringRight(sMessage, iLength - iIndex - 1);
}
}
SetPCChatMessage(sMessage);
}
