removing furniture in game

[dualboot91]

ok i'm new to the forums and i have zero modding experience. but i was wondering if it was possible to script a weapon so that when you hit furniture or those trash pile textures with it they disappeared? i already know about the disable command but i usually wind up accidentally disabling chunks of the map on accident so i want to learn how to make something dummy proof. i might even keep modding if i do well with this but first i have to know if this is even possible.

someone? please? i can't seem to find any info on anything like this anywhere. maybe i'm just not being clear enough. i want to make a weapon that detects the id of the reference it hits, then if that reference is in a predefined list, the reference gets deleted. if the reference is not in the list nothing happens. i can't seem to find any information on doing this kind of scripting with weapons. i really want to know if this can be done.

What you're asking for most likely requires scripting so its more complicated than you think unfortunately. I also have no idea how to do what you're asking.

Attach this script to your weapon of choice:

scn	ShootItRemoveItScript

ref	rTarget

begin OnFire

	set rTarget to ObjectUnderReticle 0 5000
	if rTarget
		if rTarget.IsInList ObjectsToRemoveList
			rTarget.Disable
		endif
	endif

end

will that script work on things like bloodstains? i've removed furniture in game with the disable command before, and it isn't part of the object.

[gunslinger6792]

Only one way to find out.I think it should work though.

[dualboot91]

sorry if i'm getting annoying but how would i go about just attaching this script? i've never modded anything before.

 

also how do i add things to the list?

Send me a PM and I can help teach you how to attach a new script to an object.

I'm trying to help Dualboot and decided to try to attach the script to a custom varmint rifle. Long story short I can't get the script to save so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong here I'm just not sure what.

Probably not. I'm pretty sure it will only target collidable objects (i.e. objects you can't walk through). Since bloodstains are essentially 2D textures, they are non-collidable.

There is a way to target ANY object (except landscape tiles), but it would be more complicated to get it to work the way you want, by using a weapon.

ObjectsToRemoveList was just a placeholder for the Form List containing all the objects that are removed. It doesn't exist in the game - you need to create it.
