Overseer's Terminal and Desk

[twiggy159]

I'm currently working on a vault and what I wanted to do was use the overseer's desk from vault 101 to get to a hidden armory. But the thing is, I can't get the Overseer's terminal to work with the desk. I tried linking them together and that didn't work. I think I may of messed up the basic scripts for the terminal too when I tried editing the terminal. No biggie though, just quest stuff maybe. But I'm fairly new to the GECK and I'm starting to think that you have to script it to get it to work. Can anyone help me out with that?

This question was asked relatively recently, here is a link to the thread - OverseerDesk Activate

 

As I've stated in that thread, you'll need to use SetOpenState to open or close the tunnel.

I keep getting a syntax error when I try to do it. Here is what I'm trying to get compiled:

 

Vault159OverseersDesk01.GetOpenState 3

Vault159OverseerDesk01.SetOpenState 1

 

It says that Vault159OverseerDesk01 is not a valid reference. It could be because I'm doing it horribly wrong, but I don't know.

You're probably referring to the EditorID of the base object then. In order to refer to a specific reference in a script, that reference needs to be marked as "persistent" (this can be done in the "Reference" window) and given its own unique EditorID, commonly known as an EditorRefID. Any references without a unique EditorRefID cannot be referred to in scripts, and will "inherit" the EditorID of their base object when viewed in the "Cell View" window.

Ha I was replying in the wrong thread. But I got it all to work and thanks for the help.
