Quick Question - Quick Answer

[lilgamefreek]

I've been looking at a bunch of activator scripts, and I can't figure out what the "do" function does and what it's parameter means. :confused:

[Cipscis]

That "do" that you've been seeing is an alias for DamageObject. I've seen this question asked quite a few times recently, has that short alias been used extensively in Mothership Zeta or something?

Maybe. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with gas traps though. Expanding my horizons a bit, etc.

Another one. Is it possible to make an explosion that doesn't cause the player's screen to rumble?

I need to change the ImageSpace of an interior cell.

 

How to use the SetCellImageSpace command?

 

SetCellImageSpace CellEditorID ImageSpaceName - called in a script isn't working :unsure:

 

EDIT

hmm.. it seems that it does work, but only if I load a previous save game or re-enter the cell.

is there a way to change the IMS on the fly? or is a IMS mod the way to go?

 

another one:

 

Is it possible to set up a drawn trigger that it acts like a use-activator? showing the activators name & stuff...

[t3hf4ll0ut]

scn KioskScript

Begin OnActivate
  ShowMessage MessageID
End

 

Why is it crashing?

 

I made a new activator with the mesh of the museum kiosk but when I go to activate it in-game I crash to desktop. I don't understand why.

Cipsis -

I saw your reply last night, but foolishly assumed it would still be there in the morning. Can you please repost?

 

I had a script that was giving me a CTD, and here is my revised script which seemed like it mostly worked, but you posted a better version:

 

scn aaaaEGMillsTokenScript

ref target

Begin OnAdd

 set target to getcontainer
 if target !=0
	  target.AddScriptPackage aaaaEGmillsBazaarSandbox
 endif

End

 

This was to get NPCs with the token to come to my new base in Evergreen Mills.

Something I noticed later, the NPCs do what I expect, but after a while they go back to where they were before. Is there a way to accomplish a permanent AI change?

Thanks (again).

How do I make a new exterior cell? For a new landscape?

 

EDIT: Made the world space using 'World Spaces' from the drop down menu, and I saw it was blank, did a height map, but now Im getting water appearing through the landscape even though its well below the surface?

Is it possible to change an object's name using a script? Simply: Chair -> broken Chair

Is it not easier to have a chair, and a broken chair, and the script replace one with the other on damage or whatever? I have thought about what your saying though, replace 'raider' with 'dead raider' etc etc. Makes sense!
