How to make use of WorkshopParentScript Custom Event?

[GrimGrim31]

Has anyone used the Custom Events in the WorkshopParentScript?

 

I am trying to register for one of the custom events in one of my scripts and have not yet figured out how to register.

I tried this line inside of an OnInit() function but it does not compile.

 

RegisterForCustomEvent(Actor akSender, "WorkshopActorAssignedToWork")

 

The error message in the compiler states that there is no viable alternative at input 'akSender'.

 

The custom event in the WorkshopParentScript is part of the function AssignActorToObject(WorkshopNPCScript assignedActor, WorkshopObjectScript assignedObject, bool bResetMode = false, bool bAddActorCheck = true) on line 1334 of the script.

 

The custom event line in that function is SendCustomEvent("WorkshopActorAssignedToWork", kargs)

Reading the wiki page may be of help here.

 

In a nutshell, you cannot use "Actor akSender" as the first parameter. Instead it needs to be an explicitly stated object that will be sending the custom event stated in the second parameter.

Quest Property WorkshopParent Auto Const

Event OnQuestInit()
	RegisterForCustomEvent(WorkshopParent as WorkshopParentScript, "WorkshopActorAssignedToWork")
EndEvent

akSender is not the workshop actor, it's the WorkshopParentScript.

 

How to get the workshop actor:

Event WorkshopParentScript.WorkshopActorAssignedToWork(WorkshopParentScript akSender, var[] arguments)

	; Arguments sent by the event
	ObjectReference assignedObject = arguments[0] as ObjectReference
	ObjectReference WorkshopRef = arguments[1] as ObjectReference

	; Get the assigned Workshop Actor
	WorkshopNPCScript AssignedWorkshopActor
	If assignedObject as WorkshopObjectScript
		AssignedWorkshopActor = (assignedObject as WorkshopObjectScript).GetAssignedActor() as WorkshopNPCScript
	EndIf

EndEvent

AssignedWorkshopActor is the workshop actor.

Thank you. I read the wiki page while I was working on my script but it still leaves me wondering what is the ScriptObject akSender in the Function RegisterForCustomEvent(ScriptObject akSender, CustomEventName asEventName) native for the Custom event that I wish to use.

 

Should the ScriptObject be WorkshopParentScript or the AssignedWorkshopActor or the assignedObject?

 

EDIT: It appears to be the script WorkshopParentScript using the property name that I gave it.

The custom event is generated by a script (ScriptObject) so akSender is the WorkshopParentScript.
