pepperman35 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Is there a way to duplicate the Enable Parent process via a script? I am trying to figure out a way to change or clear an object’s Enable Parent parameters (whom it is connected to, does it have the same state as the parent, does it have a state opposite the parent). At the moment I have a set of objects connected to an Enable Marker. After these objects get enabled, I’d like to switch two of the objects to a different Enable Marker. Can this be done via script?

Zorkaz Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 No. But you can always script things in a way that an enable parent becomes unnecessary. It's really just a convienient shortcut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocClox Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 After these objects get enabled, I’d like to switch two of the objects to a different Enable Marker. Can this be done via script? It might be simpler (if less elegant) to have a separate enable parent for the two objects in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKKmods Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 No and enable parent state and the parent can NOT be detected or queried in papyrus like a LinkedRef. That static nonsense is the bane of my various elegant dynamic actor replacer solutions that need to find and disable actors in realtime (solution: move to a holding cell and killessential).

pepperman35 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Good copy all. After some contemplation and diagramming I devised a solution which works. The end result was a bit simpler to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate this. "Hey I figured out how to fix this." HOW? You ask for help, people are good enough to help you, return the favor and explain your solution so the same damned question doesn't get asked again.

Zorkaz Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 To be fair those setups are often very unique, also hard and tedious to explain. And boring to read too. Glad you figured it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperman35 Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Yes, certainly unique. What I ended up doing was connecting most of the substation elements to one enable maker, which got activated via a console. The second script which was placed on the activator (lever) connects the utility pole to the local workshop, and turns on a light connected to the electric cabinet.

It may be a "unique" solution, but it also may help someone else who is trying to solve a similar problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
