moving scripting

[coolpkmn]

could somebody make me a script where if you have a item(such as a key) you could make anouter item move(such as a wine rack)? :blink:

[Draconium]

umm... gimme a sec and i can have a script

[Draconium]

too late, too tired to script, sorry

 

do a search on morrowind scripting to find a Scripting for dummies

 

Its very useful :D

[coolpkmn]

Please some one make the script! :unsure:

[Neko]

calm down

 

umm ok i assume you want it to slide aside to reveal a secret door or somesuch

try something like this

 

it's been a while and i don't have the cs with me today so i may not get the function names right etc

 

Begin secret_winerack_script

short timer
short moving
short state

if ( MenuMode == 1 )
 Return
endif

if ( OnActivate == 1 )
 if ( state == 0 )
   if ( Player->GetItemCount, secret_winerack_key > 0 )
     Set moving to 1
     Set state to 1
     Set timer to 0
     PlaySound3D "Door Stone Open"
   else
     MessageBox "There is a small hole in the wine rack, where a key might fit."
   endif
 endif
endif

if ( moving == 1 )
; 64 units/sec for 4 secs: distance is 256
 Move X, 64

 Set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )

 if ( timer > 4 )
   Set moving to 0
 endif
endif

End

 

let's see.... i don't -think- i've forgotten anything but i lack a way to test this. see if it works.

you may wanna change X to Y for the Move command.

 

and unless you change the wine rack from a Static to an Activator, the change in position won't be saved in a savegame. and then you're in trouble, coz u can only open it once.

A bit off-topic... but could that script be used to make a city rise out of the water? For a mod I'm working on, one of the ideas was to have a daedric city rise out of a lake as part of a quest.

[breck]

Yes and no.

 

That scrpt,or one like it could move the bildings and NPC's but not the ground.

 

an alternet methid is to have the city in a new externel cell/plane and script for the wotter to lower. this would be simpeler becous it only needs one comand rather then one for each object. Bad part is you couldent just walk to the city, you would have to port there.

This script is detailed to my specific needs, but if you have a knowledge of the scripting language you could modify it to suit your own needs. Includes variables to reset objects as well, which I found very helpful. I wrote this a while back, but feel free to use it if you wish. :D
