Need Scripting Help

[GBHis]

As Vagrant0 pointed out, it's not really certain that the setting has any effect at all.

 

 

You're right that a work-around could be to change the speed of the player. Have an effect run on a ring and check if player.isswimming == 1

(reference: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/IsSwimming )

 

 

You change the title in the CP.

That sounds right... but I don't know how to put that into the script as I have never scripted an if/endif situation before. (I am rather new at scripting, but very interested in what I can do with it).

I would highly recommend checking out the tescs wiki (google it). It is where I go to find out information on various commands and functions in the CS.

I have spent considerable time on the CSwiki, it just doesn't explain exactly what I need to know. Is it like..

 

if player.isswimming == 1

then (modify speed here)

endif

Else

if player.isswimming == 0

(modify speed same amount as a negative)

endif

 

Or is it something totally different..?

Also have no clue what to put on the UnEquip part...

an if-else block looks sorta like this:

 

if ( condition )

Do this

elseif ( condition )

Do this

else

Do this

endif

 

you only need to be an endif at the end of the if-elseif-else block

Alright, figured out the if/else block, got that working... But there must be a problem with when the block runs... As if I am not swimming when I equip it, speed drops by 100 and obviously I move very slow. If I equip it while swimming, speed increases by 100 but it is stackable... As if I re-equip it it continues to increase speed by an additional 100 points.

 

Here is my revised script so far... comments are in parenthases

scn SwiftSwimItem

Begin OnEquip PLayer
(probably must do a get value/origvalue)
Message "You can now swim faster!", 5

If Player.IsSwimming == 1
Player.ModAV speed 100 (origValue +100?)
ElseIf Player.IsSwimming == 0
Player.ModAV speed -100 (origValue?)
EndIf
end

Begin OnUnEquip Player
(set to origValue here?)
Message "You can no longer swim twice as fast...", 5
End

I expected this problem, I am just unsure of how to script it so this doesn't happen.

[jefe323]

the code is set up so that whenever you are not swimming, your speed is decresed by 100.

I almost have this figured out... Only problem left is that when I unequip in water speed stays at the modified value.

can you post what you have so far?

[apocalypse1138]

I also have a few new problems...

Re-equipping in water stacks +100 change

No matter what, my speed is 0 upon load

 

script, as usual

scn SwiftSwimItem
short worn
short origValue
short origval2
Begin OnEquip Player
set origvalue to player.GetActorValue speed
set origval2 to origValue + 100
Message "You can now swim faster!", 5
set worn to 1
end
begin gamemode
If PLayer.IsSwimming == 1
Player.SetActorValue speed origval2
Elseif player.ISSwimming == 0
Player.SetActorValue speed origValue
EndIf
End

Begin OnUnEquip Player
if worn == 1
Player.SetActorValue speed orifvalue
Message "You can no longer swim as fast...", 5
set worn to 0
endif
End
Begin OnDrop Player
if worn == 1
Player.SetActorValue speed oigvalue
set worn to 0
endif
end
