Getting thisWorkshop settlers into an Array

[F4llfield]

This I'm trying to get the all settlers from a specific workshop into an array in a Quest script.

 

workshopScript thisWorkshop = pWorkshopParent.getWorkshopFromLocation(Game.getPlayer().getCurrentLocation())
ObjectReference[] settlers = pWorkshopParent.GetWorkshopActors(thisWorkshop)
Debug.Notification("Number of settlers : " + settlers.length)

But the array length is always zero...

Considerations:

 

(1) GetWorkshopFromLocation is the first thing to fail in the modded commonwealth due to location overwrites and workshops being removed. You may want to test for none return and run a backup:

ObjectReference[] FoundWorkshops = pPlayerRef.FindAllReferencesWithKeyword(pWorkshopKeyword, 10240)

(2) Non unique actor settlers are non persistent objects, if they are not in the 3d loaded area around the player defined by uGridsToLoad you will not find them. An issue with extended build/sandbox borders.

 

(3) Rather than stress busy 'ol WorkshopParentScript, make the call it makes direct:

ObjectReference[] WorkshopActors = ThisWorkshop.GetWorkshopResourceObjects(pWorkshopRatingPopulation)  as ObjectReference[]

Be aware it excludes Cows, Codsworth, Dogmeat, RobotCurie, GraygardenWorkers, DLC robots as they do not count for population with WorkshopRatingPopulation = 0

Thanks again for your reply SKK,

 

Good information.

 

I can't seem to find information on WorkshopRatingPopulation to be able to define it as a property.

ActorValue Property pWorkshopRatingPopulation Auto Const Mandatory

I'm not sure why but I'm getting a value of 35 at Finch farm. I think I'm getting the total number of settlers and not the settlers from that specific workshop (thisWorkshop).

Compare with an alternative function:

ObjectReference[] WorkshopActors = ThisWorkshop.GetActorsLinkedToMe(pWorkshopItemKeyword) as ObjectReference[]

BUT this does include Codsworth, Dogmeat, RobotCurie, GraygardenWorkers, Brahmin, Dogs, Turrets ... any actor object type.

At first with the alternative function it was not working, but because I forgot to assign the properties in ck.... ahhh

 

But now it's working thanks again.

 

I learning by looking at tutorials and looking at other script. Too bad the Papyrus info is scattered like that. I look for a good book on Papyrus scripting but didn't find any.

 

 

 

Thanks.
