oh ... that lol i always use [ codebox ] lalala [/codebox ] "without spaces" you can also press reply on any of my posts with code in it and you'll see how it's done

nvm .. solved it

damn .. my menu gets completely messed up when i multiple conditions on more than one button scn AlexSquadRadioScript int ibutton Short toMany Begin OnEquip showmessage 1SquadSummonMenu end Begin GameMode set ToMany to 0 set iButton to GetButtonPressed if iButton == -1 ;noone knows what it means return endif if iButton == 0 ;cancel the menu playsound WPNAlienBlasterFire2D endif if iButton == 1 && AlexSquadToManySummoned > 2 ;checking if there are more than 2 troops present showmessage AlexToManyTroopsPresent else set AlexSquadDismis to 0 ;summon the squad placeatme AlexSquadVertibird 1 set AlexSquadToManySummoned to 3 endif if iButton == 2 && AlexSquadToManySummoned < 0 ;checking if there are any troops present showmessage AlexThereIsNobododytoDismissmessage else set AlexSquadDismis to 1 ;Dismiss the squad PlaceAtMe AlexSquadVertibird 1 endif end

thanks ... i'll try that no lol .. not the xhtml lol the NVSE form list thing

it's begin GameMode anyway ... the code from your last post workerd had to alter it a bit but it worked .... so since i switched to fose again and form lists again i'm getting new ideas ... say if would want them to upgrade their weapons after they had scored enough points by killing the enemies ... could i controll something like that by a quest ???

i've added this to my trooper script scn AlextrooperTrooperAssaultScript Ref rWeaponRef Int FormListIndex begin gamemode ;forcing equip a weapon by menu ;=========================== if AlexSquadweaponchange == 0 Set FormListIndex to AlexLoudWeaponsList elseif AlexSquadweaponchange == 1 Set FormListIndex to AlexSilentWeaponsList endif Set rWeaponRef to ListGetNthForm AlexAllWeaponsList FormListIndex If getequipped rWeaponRef == 0 && getdead == 0 additem rWeaponRef 1 1 equipitem rWeaponRef 0 1 endif any idea .. why it doesn't work ..? thanks

yes .. i think that i will need to use NVSE .. again ... oh i see the users bashing my mod allready lol but on the bright side .. i can get rid of those begin on equip menus ( helmets , glasses0 so .. could you give me a short example of how such a script should look like ?

another bump : how to force an actor not to pick up a stronger weapon or any other weapon if he finds it ??? and is there any way to force equip a weapon on actor from form list rather than by spec. ref??? thanks

thanks i've been able to solve the puzzle yesterday .. it looks a lot like yours the scripts still need to be adjusted .. i need to add a couple of conditions to them .. but in general they are working like they should the summon and dismiss menu script for vertibird scn AlexSquadRadioScript int ibutton Begin OnEquip showmessage 1SquadSummonMenu end Begin GameMode set iButton to GetButtonPressed if iButton == -1 ;noone knows what it means return elseif iButton == 0 ;cancel the menu playsound WPNAlienBlasterFire2D elseif iButton == 1 && AlexSquadToManySummoned > 2 ;summon the squad showmessage AlexToManyTroopsPresent return else set AlexSquadDismis to 0 placeatme AlexSquadVertibird 1 set AlexSquadToManySummoned to 3 endif endif elseif iButton == 2 ;Dismiss the squad set AlexSquadDismis to 1 PlaceAtMe AlexSquadVertibird 1 endif end the vertibird script scn AlexSquadSummonVertibird short active ref landingMarker begin onLoad if active == 0 playgroup forward 0 set active to 1 endif end begin OnActivate if IsActionRef player == 0 ; assume this is my reference marker set landingMarker to GetActionRef ; move soldier drop-off markers FFEDropOffMarkerA.moveto landingMarker 0 -75 0 FFEDropOffMarkerB.moveto landingMarker 0 75 0 endif end begin gameMode if active == 1 if isanimplaying forward == 0 ; landed -- drop off troopers if we have a landing marker if getDestroyed == 0 if landingMarker != 1 if AlexSquadDismis == 1 set AlexSquadDisableSniper to 1 set AlexSquadDisableSupport to 1 set AlexSquadDisableAssault to 1 set AlexSquadToManySummoned to -1 elseif AlexSquadDismis == 0 placeatme AlexSquadSniper 1 placeatme AlexSquadAssault 1 placeatme AlexSquadSupport 1 endif endif playgroup backward 0 endif set active to 2 endif elseif active == 2 if isanimplaying backward == 0 set active to 3 markfordelete endif endif end the command menu script: scn AlexSquadCommandsScript int ibutton Begin OnEquip showmessage AlexSquadCommandMessage end Begin GameMode set iButton to GetButtonPressed if iButton == -1 ;noone knows what it means return elseif iButton == 0 ;cancel the menu playsound WPNAlienBlasterFire2D elseif iButton == 1 ;Make your Squad use silenced weapons set AlexSquadweaponchange to 1 elseif iButton == 2 ;make your squad use regular weapons set AlexSquadweaponchange to 0 endif end the result script for the troopers looks like this now scn AlextrooperTrooperAssaultScript begin gamemode ;forcing equip a weapon by menu ;=========================== if AlexSquadweaponchange == 1 && getequipped AlexSilentSMG == 0 && getdead == 0 removeitem AlexAssaultCarbine 1 1 additem AlexSilentSMG 1 1 equipitem AlexSilentSMG 0 1 else return endif elseif AlexSquadweaponchange == 0 && getequipped AlexAssaultCarbine == 0 && getdead == 0 removeitem AlexSilentSMG 1 1 additem AlexAssaultCarbine 1 1 equipitem AlexAssaultCarbine 0 1 else return endif ;Forcing actor to go into sneaking mod if player is sneaking ;================================ if player.IsSneaking == 1 SetForceSneak 1 else SetForceSneak 0 endif ;by dismissing the current squad you're resetting the restriction on summoning more troops ;========================================================================== if AlexSquadDisableAssault > 0 set AlexSquadDisableAssault to AlexSquadDisableAssault -1 Disable MarkForDelete endif end ;if one soldier died you will be able to summon another to replace him ;========================================================= Begin OnDeath set AlexSquadToManySummoned to (AlexSquadToManySummoned - 1) endif end

thanks ... i'm not against NVSE but i won't use untill it's really needed ... i was able to make some working scripts so you can ignore everything posted above bump again now i'm trying to make my squad switch weapons on command and have no luck :( i've set up a global variable so that id the variable == 0 equip weapons 1 and if variable > 0 equip weapons 2 i have to scripts running 1 menu based and the other is attached to a trooper it looks like this the variable is at the bottom of the trooper script scn AlexSquadCommandsScript int ibutton Begin OnEquip showmessage AlexSquadCommandMessage end Begin GameMode set iButton to GetButtonPressed if iButton == -1 ;noone knows what it means return elseif iButton == 0 ;cancel the menu playsound WPNAlienBlasterFire2D elseif iButton == 1 ;Make your Squad use silenced weapons set AlexSquadweaponchange to 1 elseif iButton == 2 ;make your squad use regular weapons set AlexSquadweaponchange to 0 endif end scn AlextrooperTrooperAssaultScript begin gamemode ;by dismissing the current squad you're resetting the restriction on summoning more troops ========================================================================== if AlexSquadDisableAssault > 0 set AlexSquadDisableAssault to AlexSquadDisableAssault -1 Disable MarkForDelete endif end ;if one soldier died you will be able to summon another to replace him ========================================================= Begin OnDeath set AlexSquadToManySummoned to (AlexSquadToManySummoned - 1) endif end Begin Gamemode if AlexSquadweaponchange == 0 equipitem AlexAssaultCarbine 1 elseif AlexSquadweaponchange > 0 equipitem AlexSilentSMG 1 endif end thanks in advance peeps

thanks for the reply .. what i meant ... was somethinmg ike this .... a vertibird comes and drops off troops .... "dismissing troops" vertibird comes and picks up troops like in this mod here http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5717 ... i've checked all of the scripts but i still cannot apply something like that on one NPC ... i don't get how he controlls it through variables .... nothing seems to be pointing in their direction and there are no conditions specified in the menu's

I'll cut right to the chase here : I'm currently learning how to script and have been experimenting with a few things here. I'm trying to summon custom NPC's using a Vertibird. i'm done with the first part ... i've created a menubased script which let's me do just that scn 1SquadRadioScript int ibutton ref r1SquadSniper Begin OnEquip showmessage 1SquadSummonMenu end Begin GameMode set iButton to GetButtonPressed if iButton == -1 return elseif iButton == 0 playsound WPNAlienBlasterFire2D elseif iButton == 1 placeatme 1TacticalSquadVertibird 1 elseif iButton == 2 PlaceAtMe 1TacticalSquadVertibird 1 set r1SquadSniper to 0 endif Now there is a second script attached to a verbird activator with a line "placeatme 1SquadSniper 3" ...and it works fine ... but now there are two things that i cannot acomplish 1. I would like to be able to summon no more than 3 combatants ... so when there are allready 3 alive ones in scene the script would result in 0 2. How to dismiss the summoned troops ?? tried with disable and remove and GetIsID xxx => 1 remove them all but the problem is that i cannot find anywhere how to get actor count of the custom NPC's in the current scene and i cannot find a command on how to remove them And lastly .. how do you assign custom Variables to custom groups of actors ??? Thanks in Advance Alex

hmmm ... i've heard that dead money wasn't that good ..... anyway .. by april there probably will be better quest mods available

how about this one ? http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34743
