@layam Nice, I was able to get everything open in CK, great job. However, I am afraid I am going to have to noob out on you.

So I could move everything into your quest, but I am trying to maintain your modular structure. I am not sure how to access your scripts from inside my quest. For example, say I wanted to invoke your CollarUp function. If I add PAHSlaveQuestCaptureSurrenderQuest as a property (lets call it call it "yourquest") of my main quest script, and use:

"(getOwningQuest() as MyQuestScript).yourquest.CollarUp(akSpeaker)"

in the Dialogue script fragment window, it finds the quest but not the function.

Error-"CollarUp is not a function or does not exist"

Am I going about this the wrong way? Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I'd advise not doing anything with PAHSlaveQuestCaptureSurrender. (or whatever it is called). You probably want to be interacting directly with PAHSlaveCoreQuest and it's aliases.

So... you'll want a property defined like this:

PAHSlaveQuestCore Property core_quest Auto.

then, to get a slave fully handled by paradise_halls:

PAHSlaveAlias slave_alias = core_quest.Handle(the_actor)
Check out PAHSlaveAlias - there's loads of methods you can call on that.

I think that's all you need to do. I haven't got the code here and I'll check when I get home, I might be talking out of my arse. I'm writing developer documentation and a tutorial at the moment - should have that out by tonight.

If I were to make a slave dungeon/ place how would you like it to bee? any preferences?

[layam]

Hmm... I'd just go with whatever you like. If you're going to do the work, you get to call the shots :-). The only thing I would suggest is that it is at least a little subtle from the outside - slavery isn't legal in Skyrim after all...

Documentation has just been released. Ask anything here if you've got questions.

Awesome! thank you so much. I was able to use your suggestion to link an object script to my main (which was driving me crazy for a while). When I tried it with your core quest, it got a bunch of errors.

when adding "PAHSlaveQuestCore Property core_quest Auto" to any of my scripts I get:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\PAHSlaveAlias.psc(124,16): GetNumItems is not a function or does not exist
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\PAHSlaveAlias.psc(124,6): type mismatch while assigning to a int (cast missing or types unrelated)
....and so on

This is most likely a problem on my side, because I have been having issues with dialogue disappearing.


I am about to look at the documentation (thank you for this, by the way), I just wanted to be clear. We only have to include the base and core master files in our plugins, correct?
Thanks.

@kton555: Interesting, that looks like you've got that SKSE problem all over again. GetNumItems is a SKSE function added to ObjectReference. Perhaps you don't have the SKSE source scripts in the data/scripts/source folder? As to inclusions, yeah you only need to include the two esms.

[kton555]

@layam: Alright! I reinstalled SKSE, and the include worked like a charm for all of my scripts! I have officially bought, and handled all of my slaves, thanks to your awesome help and documentation. Honestly, you have summarized- in a couple of pages- what has taken me weeks of scouring the net to figure out. I don't really know how else you can make it easier for developers. I certainly won't be working on any other projects for the foreseeable future.Thank you again for all of the support.

So, now I just need to get the

PAHSlaveCoreQuest.StopHandling(slave)
slave.RemoveFromFaction(PAHPlayerSlaveFaction)

methods working. Everything compiles without any errors, but when I call my sell function, the slave tracker appears in the left-hand corner and is unchanged. The slave is also unchanged. I am sure this is another issue on my side, probably the way I am organizing my slaves.

Once I am through with this, I will clean up my Mod as much as possible, and release it. I won't lie, it has taken a serious beating.

Btw, I was in my camp, just kind of getting the feel of the general mood, and I have to say that the collars, whips and lash marks are all so well done. It all really does change the feel of the entire game. Very excited.

[kton555]

Ok, I got it. I had forgotten to initialize one of my arrays to nones. I have officially bought and sold my own npcs.

Thanks for the comments, and I'm glad you're using it. When you're ready to release, ping me and I'll link your mod.
