Weapon Script trpubble.

[ihateregisteringeverywhere]

Yup. You're a bright cookie :).

 

Then again - I'm not sure - let's not forget that so far I've only made a single script. Which doesn't work ;D.

 

The irony, right?

Ive gotten into the inner workings of games and software in the past,

so I have a basic understanding of some things...

 

Anyway, I just have one last question.....and its incredibly stupid.....

 

How do i enter OBSE commands,

They are rejected by the TES construction set,

[ihateregisteringeverywhere]

Not stupid at all :)

 

X:\...\Oblivion\obse_loader.exe -editor

[niteshadowthebiofreak]

Not stupid at all :)

Thanks :thumbsup:

[ihateregisteringeverywhere]

No problem at all! That's 7 posts closer to 1k lol ;D

 

Anyway, keep me posted, I wonder how this'll turn out.

[niteshadowthebiofreak]

nope.

Not yet,

 

But i think getcrosshairref may be the key to doing what im after.

I would go for the spell effects, personally. I try, atm, to stay away from oBSE, though. Though i understand it gives you more freedom. I was looking for some scripted weapons for you as I was trying to figure out how to make a new vampire, the wabbajack is interesting

If you wanna go this route or go with OBSE

scn WabbajackSpellEffect

ref self
ref horsetest

begin ScriptEffectStart
set horsetest to GetSelf
if DAWabbajack.spellRunning == 0 && ( GetSelf != CreatureMehrunesDagon ) && ( horsetest.IsRidingHorse == 0 ) && ( horsetest.GetDead == 0 )
	if ( IsEssential == 0 ) && ( GetIsCreature == 1 ) && ( GetInFaction NoWabbaFaction == 0 )
;		message "Wabbajack start"
; only one target allowed at a time
		set DAWabbajack.spellRunning to 1
	
; set target ref so we can put it back if necessary
		set DAWabbajack.target to GetSelf
;		messageBox "DAWabbajack.target: %.0f", DAWabbajack.target
		set self to GetSelf
;		messageBox "GetSelf: %.0f", self
	
; create replacement creature
		placeAtMe WabbajackList 1
	endif
endif
end

 

this spell seems to be able to reference its target.

:) but that's an magic effect, the only way to get a magic effect to go off from a weapon is to enchant it with that script.

 

Which means that you can't enchant it yourself. That's what I was proposing anyway :P I've got mine from dawnfang :).

Although I tend to discourage use of OBSE by those who are learning scripting, I would have to agree with ihateregisteringeverywhere provided I'm right in understanding the conditions which are desired before doing anything;

 

1. Must be able to detect that the target being hit is already dead.

2. Must be something which can be added to any weapon.

 

Without OBSE you can't do either of those. Weapon enchantments will not fire if anything other than a living actor is hit.

 

The second one, adding the enchantment to any weapon might be worked around if it would be alright for the enchantment to be applied using something like a sigil stone.

..Something tells me I was wrong...

(namely the fact ive been at this all day and come up with no progress)

 

I may need to rethink things a bit...

 

Thanks for all the help...but,

I fear Ive let you all down...

 

(I have a bad habit of trying to do things beyond my abilities)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....boy do i feel like a jackass......
