Game transition trigger?

Is there a script trigger or variable you can use in BGT to determine which part of the game you're in (BG1, SoA or ToB)? For that matter, is there one just for SoA/ToB?

For BG2's, I use the chapter number... to detect like this, if GlobalLT("Chapter","GLOBAL",8) then it's before, and if it's GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",7) then it's after the SoA->ToB transition.

And for BGT(BG1/BGTotSC/SoA) there is this:

Global ENDOFBG1
0 - in BG1 or TotSC part of game
1 - killed Sarevok but not yet transitioned to SoA
2 - in SoA

I know it may be a bit long, but you can easily search DevDoc for information like this - if you have any other queries.

So you might have to combine them for the real ToB check, as the BGT now takes the chapters to +1 chapters.

BGT only does that for BG1, not SoA/ToB, right? So a shell for figuring out where you are in BGT would be something like this?

IF
  GlobalLT("endofbg1","GLOBAL",2)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
	//BG1 stuff
END

IF
  GlobalGT("endofbg1","GLOBAL",1)
  GlobalLT("Chapter","GLOBAL",9)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
	//SoA stuff
END

IF
  GlobalGT("endofbg1","GLOBAL",1)
  GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",8)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
	//ToB stuff
END

Incidentally, is there a guide to chapter numbers somewhere? I have no real clue what the numbers correspond to, not even for BG1.

Yes. So...

9->8, 8->7

If I remember it correctly, they end something like this: In BGT...
Chapter 1, escaping from the Candlekeep.
Chapter 2, outside but not yet in Naskel.
Chapter 3, after going to Naskel, but before looting the chest in the Naskel Mines.
Chapter 4, after that and before looting the Bandit Camps chest.
Chapter 5, killing Davaeorn in the Cloakwood Mines should start the next chapter.
Chapter 6, getting to talking to the grand Duke Elthan and taking to book.
Chapter 7, after facing Sarevok first time.
Chapter 8, the chapter changes after talking to Belt the last time.

BG2:SoA
Chapter 1, after you have heared the Shadow Thieves deal.
Chapter 2, after getting the money and doing a deal with either party of the conflict.
Chapter 3, after the travel to Brynnlaw.
Chapter 4, escaping to the Underdark.
Chapter 5, getting out of the Underdark.
Chapter 6, getting into the Suldanessellar.
Chapter 7, killing Irenicus the second time.

9->8, 8->7

Er, yeah... that's what I meant. Cheers.

I gotta bookmark this. I keep forgetting this, too.
