Scripting/Script Fragments Help

[CynicalSyllables]

Hi all, I want to create a fairly simple mod which adds a terminal that lets you trade with an NPC by executing the console command "[npc ref id].showbartermenu" (or the papyrus equivalent) when you activate a particular terminal entry (or just an activator)
How can I translate this from the console format into the papyrus format?

 

I'm having trouble getting the Papyrus script fragment to compile in the CK. Here's what I've got so far; first script compiled successfully whereas the fragment did not:

Scriptname TradeScript01 extends ObjectReference


Function Fragment_Terminal_01(ObjectReference akTerminalRef)


EndFunction

Actor Property kTinkerTom Auto ; filled with desired merchant actor

ObjectReference Property TinkerTomREF auto const

ActorBase Property pTinkerTom Auto Const

 

Fragment: kTinkerTom.ShowBarterMenu()

That fragment is screwed.

 

Looks like you have been trying to edit it in an external editor rather than the fragment UI as it should start with the clear warning:

 

;BEGIN FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the end comment

 

Also when you do get the script working, you may not be able to pop a modal trade/barter menu ontop of an open Terminal screen.

Thanks. I'll start over and see if that fixes the fragment.

What problems do you forsee with the barter menu/trade terminal conflict? Would I need to exit the terminal or would it just not work at all?

Okay, now I'm getting a different error. It doesn't recognize showbartermenu, so I think I need to define more, not sure exactly what.

 

Redone script:

 

Scriptname TradeScript02 extends ObjectReference Const

Function Fragment_New((ObjectReference akTerminalREF)

Endfunction

Fragment compilation result:

Nevermind, was able to solve previous issue by using Actor instead of ActorBase.
