SSE Help creating script for werewolf skin replacers

[HurricainReaperProductions]

what is ar and br

[Sphered]

Updating skin is instant with a NiOverride script call, either NiNodeUpdate or perhaps UpdateWeight, been a while but yes it can be instant, just an extra step. AR BR.... Armor Rating and Block Rating would be my assumption

[maxarturo]

The engine has the flaw that retains in-game what's in memory, so in order to change a texture's or a mesh's file path it needs to unloaded it from memory, and re-loaded.

......................................................................................................................................

AR = shortcut for 'A Race'

BR = shortcut for 'B Race'

we declare and store the actor's race so that the script/game can use it later.

Race AR = iActor.GetRace() - the actor's primary race

Race BR = iActor.GetRace() - the actor's race once it transforms

( BR == AR )

If ( BRace equals ARace )

;; remove the new skin armor because we are back to normal

ok its not compiling for me. 2 questions

 

1 does it require skse cause im looking for a non skse option

2 does it require ae or can i use the 1.5.97 version cause i refuse to upgrade till all mods i require are updated and currently still missing 4 major framework mods that are still 1.5.97

It does not require SKSE, it uses simple default Papyrus, and it does not matter which version of the game you have.

It's a simple script and it should compile just fine, post your warning message.

Of course it is not compiling. AR is local to OnEventStart. OnRaceSwitchComplete has no idea what it is.

[HurricainReaperProductions]

Of course it is not compiling. AR is local to OnEventStart. OnRaceSwitchComplete has no idea what it is.

so is there a workaround?

[scorrp10]

Yeah. Make AR global.

 

 
Race Property WerebeastRace Auto
Armor property WerebeastSkin auto
Armor property WerebeastSkinNew auto
Actor iActor
Race  OriginalRace
 
EVENT OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)
         iActor = akTarget
         OriginalRace = iActor.GetRace()
ENDEVENT
 
EVENT OnRaceSwitchComplete()
    Race NewRace = iActor.GetRace()
    If ( NewRace == WerebeastRace )
         iActor.UnequipItem(WerebeastSkin)
         iActor.EquipItem(WerebeastSkinNew)
    ElseIf ( NewRace == OriginalRace )
         iActor.UnequipItem(WerebeastSkinNew)
    EndIf
ENDEVENT

[maxarturo]

Yeah... it was a stupid omission on my part, that I didn't even bother to look at the script again.

That's what you get for trying to assist with your phone while sitting and relaxing on a beach....
