Thanks for the tips guys! MUCH Appreciated

[[LE] Kill count with weapon unlocks perk]

Ok thanks man! I'll give it a check!

[[LE] Kill count with weapon unlocks perk]

Hello! I'm working on a modded weapon that levels with the player in sense that it grows stronger the more you use it. For example, Im trying to see if there is a way that if this weapon is equipped, a script can track its kill counts and unlock perks when X amount of kills have been recorded.

 

The particular weapon is a staff so I cannot add these perks to a perk tree and select them like you would any other weapon perk when you level up. Instead, the perks have been integrated into the staff's enchantment and parts of the enchantment kick into effect when certain perks have been unlocked.

 

I know you can script counters with Int but have not seen any useful examples on how to implement it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

[Deleted a floor in windhelm...]

I know this is WAY late of a response, but this just happened to me because I was an idiot! Wanted to put this out there for others.

 

For anyone in the future needing to know how to fix without needing to reinstall game, and as far as I know, this only works if the floor/items/objects were marked as DISABLED not MARKFORDELETE is to:

 

1. Open creation kit -> Create and save new plugin

2. Select the Masters needed that contain the reference your trying to fix

3. Go to the cell where the problem is and select the object. Again, if it has been DISABLED it'll still show up in CK, maybe MARKFORDELETED items as well (not sure really)

4. Make sure you have the right object selected and right click it. Copy. and Paste in Place. Make sure to select Paste in Place and not just Paste so as to prevent any clipping or irregularities in game.

5. Do this for all missing objects and hit SAVE

 

Now! This fixes the problem, but if you have mods that change a town, you will want them to overwrite the mod you just made so make sure to place it higher than any of those mods.

Load game, make sure your mod is enabled/ticked and enjoy the game play!!

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

I fixed it!! In addition....I got it to fire the spell straight out instead of coming from below ground. I switched it back to Actor, readjusted the scripts/properties then tinkered around in the Race menu. Under General Data, one of the tick boxes, "Uses Head Track Anims" had to be ticked.

 

So now the actor is spawned, turns toward any hostile enemy nearby, pelts them with firebolts and disappears after 60s. That is EXACTLY how I wanted this to turn out.

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

Nevermind I fixed that. Turns out there was a property mix up on the magic effect. So the sentry now spawns, then crashes the game lol. I may be at my wits end here. I seriously appreciate all the help you've given me.

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

Been messing around with it for a while now and for some reason after swapping it from an Actor to an Activator, both scripts compile but in game, the Sentry never spawns.

 

I've made sure to update my properties afterwards as well. This is the script that is currently on the trap activator

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

Yea it just drops to the floor lol.

 

Did some digging around and was reading about SetMotionType with the type set to 4 which says the object will nto be simulated by havok.

Could that work and if so would that script be on the magic effect or the actor?

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

Yes it just drops to the ground lol. Argh!

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

That seemed to have worked but I have another odd issue. The object (or actor) I am summoning/placingatme is actually is a Dwemer Trap bow, the ones that fire giant bolts at you.

 

I used its nif as the model for the actor. Its animations do not play but I am completely fine with that since I am having a firebolt fling from it. However, the firebolt originates from the very bottom of the model/nif which pokes just below the ground and 9/10 times the firebolt is fired below ground and just hits the floor mesh and not the actor.

 

Is there anyway to place the actor higher off the ground when it is summoned or have to firebolt shoot higher? I imagine the latter is far less likely as that most likely has to do with the nodes in the nif file itself.

 

I tried to mess with the randomoffset z property but I didn't see any effect no matter how high or low I set the number.

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

Is there a way to remove the spell from him? After it disappears, the spell still fires off from the location it was spawned at.

Would I need the RemoveSpell from Actor Function?? Really Appreciate the help thus far.

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

So this worked to keep the summon from attacking the player which is great, however I just need to add to the script to make it delete self or disappear after 60s.

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

Thanks for taking the time man. I will check that when I get home

[[LE] Scripting summoned creature to cast at hostiles then stop script upon death]

Hello! I've been working diligently on a mod that circling around 2 1h crossbows (the oldrim mod everyone by now has seen) and its coming along really well. I planning a D3 Demon Hunter style class and currently am working on a summon spell that summons a turret. When cast, the summon appears just find and turns to attack enemies but does not shoot any arrows or cast any spells. It has both arrows in inventory and spells added in spell list with plenty of magicka and skill offset to cast them. I looked into adding a script to force it to attack and it works, somewhat.

 

What I have causes it to fire a firebolt at ANYONE (including the player) that is in range. I could live with that, though would optimally prefer it just attack hostiles, however the script stays in effect after the summon has disappeared/died. It just keeps firing off firebolts endlessly from the location the summon entered at. I used a 'Completed Script Example' from creation kit website and plugged in some of my Properties.

 

Here's what I have so far....

 

Scriptname WHA_SentryCombatScript extends ObjectReference

import Utility

Actor Property PlayerREF Auto

Float Property xOffset Auto

Float Property yOffset Auto

Float Property zOffset Auto

Float Property RandomOffsetX Auto

Float Property RandomOffsetY Auto

if !SpawnNode && !TargetTypeList && GetDistance(PlayerREF) < SeekRange

CurrentTarget = PlayerREF

elseif TargetTypeList

CurrentTarget = Game.FindClosestReferenceOfAnyTypeInListfromRef(TargetTypeList, Self, SeekRange)

endif

if CurrentTarget

WHA_SentryFirebolt.Cast(Self,CurrentTarget)

endif

RegisterForSingleUpdate(PulseRate + RandomFloat(0.0, RandomRate))

I recently got into scripting and am fairly new at it and would appreciate any help anyone could throw my way. Thanks

 

[[LE] Going back in a script, message box]

 

For Menus and Sub Menus I prefer to use functions. That way, you can specify which menu to go to and when. Example script:

 

 

 

Message Property Message1 Auto 
Message Property Message2 Auto 
Message Property Message3 Auto 


Event SomeEvent()
    Menu1() ;open main menu
EndEvent 


Function Menu1()
    Int Button = Message1.Show()
    
    If Button == 0
        ;do something 
    Elseif Button == 1
        Menu2() ;open sub menu 2
    Endif 
EndFunction 


Function Menu2()
    Int Button = Message2.Show()
    
    If Button == 0
        ;do something 
    Elseif Button == 1
        Menu3() ;open sub menu 3 
    Elseif Button == 2
        Menu1() ;go back to main menu
    Endif 
EndFunction 


Function Menu3()
    Int Button = Message3.Show()
    
    If Button == 0
        ;do something 
    Elseif Button == 1
        Menu2() ;go back to sub menu 2
    Elseif Button == 2
        Menu1() ;go back to main menu
    Endif 
EndFunction 

This works perfectly for a mod I am working on!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[[LE] Getting staff enchant to sometimes cause explosions]

Hey guys.

 

I'm looking to see if i can get some advice/help. In a mod i'm creating, I have a staff enchant that does multiple things. It causes fear when enemies are low enough on health, does extra damage to certain enemies, and also standard damage to all enemies.

 

I'm attempting to have the staff also have a chance to cause explosions when hitting enemies that are feared. Using conditions, i am able to make all of this happen, however, the explosion FX never happens. I get the damage it is supposed to do but never the FX. Is this possible to do without scripts?

 

 

[Cooldown]

Works beautifully. Thanks for the help man. :wink:

 

Dunno why I didn't think of something like that. Guess I'm not as crafty as I once was.

Hi. I'm trying to obtain a very similar effect as you with the cooldowns and was wondering what exactly you did to get yours to work

 

I too cannot stand working with these scripts and cannot for the life of me figure them out. If you wouldnt mind could you tell me what and how you got it to work..

 

Thanks

[Scripting Shouts]

Awesome...everything works good. But im having issues the last line....

 

"addShouts" goes into the papyrus script located in my actor, or the 'player', under the actors tab?

 

where would "teachWord" go? where is the 'game script'

[Scripting Shouts]

Hello, i recently started modding with the creation kit not long ago and have picked up the gist of the program fairly easy, however when it comes to actual scripting...I'm a complete noob (as my name suggests) =(

 

What I'm trying to do is make it so a character automatically knows a shout and all the words to it, as well as them being unlocked, when they start a fresh game and that depending on what RACE they are will determine which of shout will be applied to them when they start up.

 

Is this possible? Hopefully, yes.

 

I've searched all over the web but there Isn't a whole lot of valuable information on scripting shouts and the Creation Kit online tutorials are less than helpful since most of the links you click on are so vague in description (that is if there even IS a description)

 

Thanks in advance!!
