[[Script Help Needed] Referencing Unique, Placed Objects Back and Forth]

LinkedRef is the way to success ;-)

Scriptname ZW_GMccT_BaseActivator extends ObjectReference Default

Form Property GMccT_PA_Dummy Auto Const ;The base object of the one to be created
Keyword Property theKey Auto Const

Event OnInit()
    self.BlockActivation(True, True)
    ObjectReference GMccT = self as objectreference
    ObjectReference newItem = GMccT.PlaceAtNode("PA_Attach", GMccT_PA_Dummy) ;new object placed
    newItem.SetLinkedRef(GMccT, theKey)
endEvent

Scriptname ZW_GMccT_PA extends ObjectReference Default

Keyword Property theKey Auto Const

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference ActivateRef)
    ObjectReference myMaster = GetLinkedRef(theKey)
    SetLinkedRef(none, theKey) ; unlink myMaster (see Edit)
    myMaster.DisableNoWait()
    myMaster.Delete()
EndEvent

Well, i didn't test it. I wrote this quickly from memory, thus it could be totally wrong.

Maybe it will also work without a keyword since keywords are optional. Not sure...

 

Edit: It would be a good idea to unlink the master object since it will not be available any longer after Delete()

[Trouble Enabling an Object]

Try

Event Quest.OnStageSet(Quest theQuest, int stageID, int auiItemID)

For handling remote events, the first parameter must match the type of the calling script.

[Trouble Enabling an Object]

AFAIk it should be something like

Event Quest.OnSetStage(...)

Without "Quest" the function will only catch local events, but not remote events. Though i'm not sure if it is Quest, ReferenceAlias or anything else. You have to try...

[Blue - Shock Collar / Slave Collar from Nuka World]

There is a SlaveCollarLight.nif and it could be possible, that this Nif is attached to the main Nif.

This Nif has a NiPointLight with red color. Not sure, but maybe you can change the color there.

[Angler glow question]

There's an addon NIF (DLC03AnglerFXAddons.nif) which seems to get attached to the main NIF. This addon has an AddOnNode.

[Anyone know the CK entries that affect daily cap generation from shops?]

 

Thanks for the tip. Second question, I can't seem to find the scripts in the CK...

 

You can access any scripts easily via Gameplay->Papyrus Script Manager. Though, if you want to change the scripts properties you have to find out where the scripts are used (Items or Quests).

As far as i know, workshopscript will only be included by other scripts, namely workshopparentscript which is attached to a Quest: WorkshopParent (0x0002058E).

However i'd like to stress what damanding wrote: Don't mess arround with the workshop system ;-)

[Anyone know the CK entries that affect daily cap generation from shops?]

The limit is hardcoded in a papyrus script: WorkshopScript

[Custom Mesh - Stairs]

AFAIK, the stairs should have a NavMesh too.

[Help with custom nifs]

Hi,

 

there's a gap between 4 and 6. This will hapen if the BSTriShape (6) is referencing something which doesn't exist (any longer). Most likely this causes the CTD.

 

Also, you should update NifScope to pre-alpha 6. This version does some more error-checking on NIFs.

[Snapping objects together?]

...

Also, if I may offer some advice, learn the hotkeys and shortcut commands. They will save you tons of time and make moving things much easier.

All Keyboard Mappings at a glance: http://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=Creation_Kit_Keyboard_Mapping

[Making an object craftable in workshop, then snapping to a wall.]

As i understand it, you have already added a BSConnectPoint::Parents Node to your NIF.

Make sure the node is labeled "CPA"

Add a ConnectPoint with the name "P-WS-AutoPlace". This one makes an object attachable to a wall.

 

I'm pretty sure this will not work for PS4, though...

 

[How do I change the FO4Edit Data Path?]

The path is stored in a registry-key. It should be sufficient to start fallout4 once via steam to adjust the key.

[Is there is a papyrus syntax guide?]

Do you know this? http://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=Category:Papyrus

Unfortunately, papyrus is far away from a complete programing language :-\

[GetDistance bug?]

So, this is interesting. I tried to use GetDistance() to measure the distance between an Actor and an ObjectReference and i observed the same problem.

 

Using

distance = theActor.GetDifference(theObject)

sometimes work and sometimes returning ridiculous numbers.

 

Whereas

distance = theObject.GetDistance(theActor)

seems to always return the correct distance.

 

Thanks a lot for the hint :-)

[How can I access the contents of a Workshop settlement's junk container?]

You have to tell getLinkedRef() where to search for linked references. In case of a terminal try:

localContainer = akTerminalRef.GetLinkedRef(WorkshopParent.WorkshopLinkContainer)

If this is in a terminal script there should be a fragment too: (something like)

Function Fragment_Terminal_03(ObjectReference akTerminalRef)
;BEGIN CODE
calcPowerGrid(akTerminalRef)
;END CODE
EndFunction

The function (here: calcPowerGrid()) is called with an ObjectReference as parameter of the attached terminal. This is your anchor to access the terminal.

 

NB. it's okay to delclare localContainer as

ObjectReference localContainer

No need for a property

[Simple EOF error - Scripting]

Hi,

 

you can make the property "auto", in this case the get/set routines are defined "auto"-matically and you can't redefine then. Trying to do so, causes an error.

Alternatively you can define the property to be non-auto. Then you have to define get/set routines yourself. Though keep in mind, that non-auto properties can't have initial values.

[Terminal Scripting Help Needed]

Your fragment will be called (or at least should be called) with something like "akTerminalRef" as parameter.

Thus change

Self.AddTextReplacementData("ScrapToggle", ScrapToggleOn)

to

akTerminalRef.AddTextReplacementData("ScrapToggle", ScrapToggleOn)

 

AFAIK, there is no "Self" in a fragment.

 

HTH

[Activator animations]

I didn't find a solution either. :sad: The close anim won't play. I've used PlayGamebryoAnimation() in some mods and it works fine. Don't know, if it is deprecated though.

However, i found a different approach to implement this "my container is everywhere". It uses standard containers (with additional keyword) and doesn't need a hidden one. The contents will be copied to the container nearest to the player.

Sine this is your idea, i will not publish this mod :no: Let me know, if you want the source.

[Activator animations]

AFAIK a NIF needs to have a BehaviorGraph (BGED) if you want to use PlayAnimantion(AndWait). If this is missing only PlayGamebryoAnimation will work.

You will find the animation names in the NIF too. Open the NiControllermanager section. There shoul be at least one NiControllerSequence section. The fist TXT entry (Name) is the name of the animation.

Anyway, is there a reason to use an Activatior instead of a container? Yust curious ;-)

 

(Edit:) There is not neccessarily a NiControllermanager section if the NIF has a BGED. Maybe you will find the anim-names in the Behavior Graph File.

[Customer Scripts not working despite compiling correctly]

I would suggest to enable Papyrus logging. This may (or may not) give you a hint.
Edit you Fallout4.ini and change the Papyrus section:

[Papyrus]
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=500.0
bEnableLogging=1
bEnableTrace=1
bLoadDebugInformation=1

Good luck ;-)

[Creation Kit is finally here!]

The correct way, at least for the german version, is to add

 

 

sLanguage=de

 

under the [General] category within the CreationKit.ini (located in you install directory). Skyrim had a similar issue (except it didn't completely crash on loading). For every other language you have to replace de with the shortcut of your language files found in your Data\Strings folder (Fallout4_XX.DLSTRINGS)

Great! Thanks :thumbsup:

[Creation Kit is finally here!]

Hmm. Running Windows 7 64bit. CK crashes every time while initializing archive, no matter if I launch through Bethesda.net launcher or via the exe. Anyone else having issues?

I have the same Problem (W10)

CK tries to access some language files which are not (any longer) present on my system. These are:

data\strings\Fallout4_en.DLSTRINGS

data\strings\Fallout4_en.ILSTRINGS

data\strings\Fallout4_en.STRINGS

I do have the german version of this files and thus i copied these files and renamed them. With this "dummy-files" CK does load an archive however it throws some hundred errors because of the UTF-8 characters which it can't process. I'm prety sure that creating an archive will fail. Didn't tested it right now.
