[[LE] How should I write a script that activates upon switching weapon with hotkeys ?]

 

Hey, yes it should still work if they're armor properties, and yes the spells should be made in the creation kit. Also one tweak to the weapon script:

 

 

 

Scriptname MyModWeaponScript extends ObjectReference 

Spell Property CheckWeaponDrawnSpell Auto ;The spell we just made

Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference akNewContainer, ObjectReference akOldContainer)
    If (akOldContainer as Actor) && (akoldContainer.GetItemCount(Self.GetBaseObject()) == 0)  ;if removed from an actor
        (akOldContainer as Actor).RemoveSpell(CheckWeaponDrawnSpell)
    Endif
    
    If akNewContainer as Actor ;if weapon is added to an actor 
        (akNewContainer as Actor).AddSpell(CheckWeaponDrawnSpell, false) ;add weapon drawn check spell to actor silently 
    Endif 
EndEvent 

 

It took me a while, but thanks to your help and your advices, I managed to make it work for hotkey, and kinda for iequip too ! Thanks a lot for your help !

[[LE] How should I write a script that activates upon switching weapon with hotkeys ?]

Without testing anything here and just taken a blind stab at it. Considering you do have it working in one case ... I'd say the "problem" is to do with the actionType calls.

Yeah it seems the actiontype is not recognized by the hotkeys or it is but only sometimes, don't really know why

 

 

It seems like the event OnActorAction isn't firing when switching with the favorites menu, or iequip, and also looks like the script using OnUpdate polling, which generally I try to avoid because it's bad for performance. A way to get around this, is to make a spell ability that has the condition IsWeaponOut == 2 on the magic effect.

 

First make a new magic effect. Archetype: Script, Casting Type: Constant Effect, Delivery: Self

Check the boxes Not Hit Event, No Hit Effect, Painless and Hide in UI.

Then Compile and add this script to the magic effect:

 

 

Scriptname MyModWeaponDrawnCheckScript extends ActiveMagicEffect 


Weapon Property WeapOut Auto 
Weapon Property WeapSheathed Auto 


Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) ;Effect starts when actors weapon is out 
    If akTarget.IsEquipped(WeapSheathed)
        akTarget.EquipItem(WeapOut,false,true)
    Endif 
EndEvent 


Event OnEffectFinish(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster) ;Effect stops when actor sheaths weapon
    If akTarget.IsEquipped(WeapOut)
        akTarget.EquipItem(WeapSheathed,false,true)
    Endif 
EndEvent 

 

 

Name the script something unique

Then make a new spell. Type: Ability, Casting: Constant Effect, Delivery: Self and put the magic effect you just made on it with the condition IsWeaponOut == 2 so the effect is only active if the actors weapon is drawn.

 

Then put this script on the weapon:

 

 

Scriptname MyModWeaponScript extends ObjectReference 


Spell Property CheckWeaponDrawnSpell Auto ;The spell we just made


Event OnContainerChanged(ObjectReference akNewContainer, ObjectReference akOldContainer)
    If akOldContainer as Actor ;if removed from an actor 
        (akOldContainer as Actor).RemoveSpell(CheckWeaponDrawnSpell)
    Endif
    
    If akNewContainer as Actor ;if weapon is added to an actor 
        (akNewContainer as Actor).AddSpell(CheckWeaponDrawnSpell, false) ;add weapon drawn check spell to actor silently 
    Endif 
EndEvent 

 

 

 

The script will add the check weapon drawn spell to the actor whenever it's added to an actors inventory.

 

Sorry I haven't posted the full script, would that still work if the weapout and weapsheathed properties are both armor and not weapon ?

Also do the spell needs to be created through creation kit ?

 

 

Scriptname HDTWeapon_Draw_n_Sheathe extends activemagiceffect

; Unsheathed version

Armor Property WeapOut Auto

; Sheathed version

Armor Property WeapSheathed Auto

Actor property MyOwner Auto

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

if akTarget == game.getplayer()

; this event is supposed to work for player

; draw begin

RegisterForActorAction(7)

; Sheathe End

RegisterForActorAction(10)

else

; NPC equipped this weapon

MyOwner = akTarget

registerforupdate(0.5)

endif

endevent

Event OnEffectFinish(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

UnRegisterforupdate()

UnRegisterForActorAction(7)

UnRegisterForActorAction(10)

endevent

; this event only works for player

Event OnActorAction(int actionType, Actor akActor, Form source, int slot)

debug.notification("action")

if actionType == 7

if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()

game.getplayer().EquipItem(WeapOut,false,true)

endif

endif

if actionType == 10

if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()

game.getplayer().EquipItem(WeapSheathed,false,true)

endif

endif

endevent

Event OnUpdate()

debug.notification("update")

if MyOwner.IsWeaponDrawn() && MyOwner.IsEquipped(WeapSheathed)

MyOwner.EquipItem(WeapOut,false,true)

endif

if ( MyOwner.IsWeaponDrawn() == false ) && MyOwner.IsEquipped(WeapOut)

MyOwner.EquipItem(WeapSheathed,false,true)

endif

endevent

also I found the same script on google, don't know if the author of the mod based his mod off this script or if he is the same person but he uses 2 armors version for his hdt sheathed and drawn weapon https://www.loverslab.com/topic/39329-wip-a-multitail-whip-as-a-weapon-with-havoc-physics/

[[LE] How should I write a script that activates upon switching weapon with hotkeys ?]

So I'm trying to modify a mod with an open source, the mod either has the mod's sword sheathed or drawn depending on the situation, so if I just draw and sheathe using the r key it works, but if i'm using hotkey, like switching from spell / another weapon to this sword using a number hotkey from favorite menu for example, it doesn't appear and with iequip or skyrimsouls neither, is there a function that lets you know when you're switching weapon with the hotkey ? currently it looks like that

Event OnActorAction(int actionType, Actor akActor, Form source, int slot)

debug.notification("action")

if actionType == 7

if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()

game.getplayer().EquipItem(WeapOut,false,true)

endif

endif

if actionType == 10

if akActor == Game.GetPlayer()

game.getplayer().EquipItem(WeapSheathed,false,true)

endif

endif

endevent

Event OnUpdate()

debug.notification("update")

if MyOwner.IsWeaponDrawn() && MyOwner.IsEquipped(WeapSheathed)

MyOwner.EquipItem(WeapOut,false,true)

endif

if ( MyOwner.IsWeaponDrawn() == false ) && MyOwner.IsEquipped(WeapOut)

MyOwner.EquipItem(WeapSheathed,false,true)

endif

[How to disable hotkeys in mcm ?]

Edit : nevermind I found it thanks

[Npc / Follower bound spell how do you do that ?]

Ok so that was stupid, all I had to do was upping the damage of the bound weapon in the CK, now it works (even though only tested one time for now)

Thanks for you time guys, and jessegt who did alot of tests

[Npc / Follower bound spell how do you do that ?]

Okay so I got this working but only after removing every offensive spells on my followers, it wouldn't work if i kept any other offensive destruction spell

Can't find a way to get her to use it along with others offensive spells this is so annoying

[Npc / Follower bound spell how do you do that ?]

i don't know why, but the left hand spell works, with the right hand. The last round of testing she used bound sword a good amount, i have only seen her use it with one enemy once. I updated MFP with an optional file, that has Heather using bound sword. tested in 3 locations at that had enemies and she used it all three times. I might go back later and tinker with that battle style some more.maybe. i still think its in the battle style.

Welp that's a bummer, mine doesn't work at all :(

What do you use as follower system ?

[Npc / Follower bound spell how do you do that ?]

 

funny thing is i had giving heather bound sword left hand, but when i went into game she used it in right hand. I'm going do a quick test, then update MFP mod with Heather having/using Bound Sword spell. Did you give her right hand bound sword?

 

Tes5edit is how i added master to follower mod, make sure mod becoming master loads above/before dependent mod, load mods in tes5edit and right click other mod, in pop up window click add masters.

Actually I tried everything (normal and right-hand) except left hand haha

Yeah I tried using tesVedit but the thing is after I load the files on CK and save, the added master disappears so it returns to before I used tesv

 

Doesn't work either with left hand sighhh

You sure she summon the sword through bound spell and not from her item equipment ?

Ok so after testing that, it doesn't work , the bound weapon spell, or every other spell don't work even with the heather follower. No Idea why.

[Npc / Follower bound spell how do you do that ?]

i just literally added bound sword spell to one of my followers and after killing mudcrab with ice spike i took her to see some forsworn and she used bound sword w/ ice spike in other hand.

 

her level starts at 30min, She has 1500 extra magicka, her class is a slightly modified Combat Mage Elemental

 

and possible the deal breaker, her combat class is csWarlock

 

 

the follower with modified combat mage elemental class and csWarlock battle class is Heather from this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/92536 I am very confident that the only other changes that had been made to Heather on my end would be her outfit, you can peek under Heathers hood, she uses bound sword with ease, only added bound sword to her, and she used it as soon as she had multiply enemies to fight

Thanks I'll try that out. You think it works on other class than csWarlock ?

just for fun and poop and stuff, i installed the soul eater mod, added it as a master to More Followers Please mod, Traded Heathers new bound sword spell for soul eater, she used it just fine. My guess is its her combat class.

 

It's not this weap. Sorry, I didn't specify the exact mod, it comes from colorful magic mod actually. How did you add it as master by the way ? And did you use left/right hand bound or normal one ?

[Npc / Follower bound spell how do you do that ?]

Scripts? You speak python?

 

What is the followers class? A combat1h wont use spells. Make sure the class is right. I'm on phone, open CK and click on follower in actors tab, the page next to traits, is where you find class setting. Tes5edit has it to, on phone and can't conjure that for you now

No, I'm speaking about papyrus.

She's a human magic, doesn't have any problem using any spell that isn't bound weapon.

[Npc / Follower bound spell how do you do that ?]

If you successful gave her spell and she not using it then make sure her level is at least 20, and give her more Magicka.

No, that's not what I meant. I know she has already more than needed magicka and her skill in conjuration is max level already. The thing is that her AI doesn't let her use the spell so I wanted someone that knows about CK or scripts to tell me if they knew a way or a script to make her use bound weaps.

[Npc / Follower bound spell how do you do that ?]

Hi guys, I wanna give my follower a bound spell from another mod called soul eater, But I don't actually know what I'm supposed to do, if I need to put a script, and how / what script I should put, anyone knows how to do that kind of stuff ? And the problem isn't giving my follower the bound spell but more about making her use the bound spell, thanks in advance for help

[Skyrim swords and magic music deleted ?]

just verified I was not mistaken about the mod

I really doubt it'll be back

 

Okay thanks

I guess I'll just have to find another good soundtrack mod then :/

[Skyrim swords and magic music deleted ?]

if it's the one I'm thinking of , it was removed by the author

and I doubt they'll reupload it

but I could be thinking of a different mod....... will need to check

 

Ah.. Well that's unfortunate.. The soundtracks were pretty good..

[Skyrim swords and magic music deleted ?]

Hi I just found out that this mod I was looking forward to download has just been deleted, was it explained why and is it planned that the mod returns on nexus ?

[Custom follower colors tints not memorized]

You exported it with RaceMenu right? Well, it should have created a tintmask as well. You can overwrite the tinkmask generated by the CK with the one made by RaceMenu.

 

Here's a good tutorial from TES Nexus: Using a face made with RaceMenu on an NPC for Skyrim

Yeah I followed a tutorial on youtube and it didn't mention this step so I didn't even know it existed, now it works magnificiently, thanks !
