Selection Settlement Worksbench for the first time after quest.

[F4llfield]

Hi,

 

I would like to detect when the player select the settlement workbench (the first time) after completing the settlement ownership quest.

 

 

I'm not sure how to approach this one. Any ideas will be appreciated.

The first time a red WorkShop is activated the script event OnActivate() will trigger, although you should check if the workshop is infact owned.

Self.RegisterForRemoteEvent(thisWorkshop, "OnActivate")



Event ObjectReference.OnActivate(ObjectReference akSender, ObjectReference akActivator)

If (akActivator == Game.GetPlayer()) && (akSender as WorkshopScript).OwnedByPlayer  == True)

   Self.UnRegisterForRemoteEvent(akSender, "OnActivate")

   ;do stuff

EndIIf

EndEvent

After the first activation it does not trigger OnActivate as the workshop enters building menu mode.

Self.RegisterForRemoteEvent(thisWorkshop, "OnWorkshopMode")



Event ObjectReference.OnWorkshopMode(ObjectReference akSender, bool aStart)

   ;stuff

EndEvent

Thanks SKK50.

 

The only part I'm struggling with is the registration. I want "thisWorkshop" to be all settlements workshop (Red Bench).

 

Do I need a registration for every single workbench ?

Yes you will need to register each individual object reference by iterating the registered workshop list:

 

 

 

 

While (pWorkshopParent.GetStage() < 20) ; not finished registering
   Utility.WaitmenuMode(5.0) 
EndWhile 

WorkshopScript[] WorkshopREFs = (pWorkshopParent as WorkshopParentScript).Workshops

Int iIndex = 0 
While (iIndex < WorkshopREFs.Length)
   ObjectReference thisWorkshop = WorkshopREFs[iIndex] as ObjectReference 
   Self.RegisterForRemoteEvent(thisWorkshop, "OnActivate")
   iIndex +=1 
EndWhile

Endif

Thanks again SKK50. Its working. But I'm not sure why the first while loop (with the waitmenumode) is outside the registration loop?

[SKKmods]

If your mod is loaded in a new game start the workshops may not have registered with WorkshopParentScript which can take up to TWO MINUTES from the initial mirror scene looks menu to complete. Not many mod authors consider or understand the new game start conditons which is why so much stuff doesnt actually work or inventory items are missing.

Thanks for the information.
