Making Wild Wasteland Encounters

[MaiqDaLiar]

I'm stumped. Does anyone know how to make your own custom wild wasteland encounters?

[BenTuttle90]

I had a quick look at the fridge thing and it has a certain trigger with a script attached

 

 

scn GenericWildWastelandTriggerSCRIPT

begin OnTriggerEnter Player

if Player.HasPerk WildWasteland

PlaySound UIWildWasteland

showmessage WildWastelandMessage

endif

disable

end

Someone else may have more to add, but this is just looking at the GECK.

I fiddled around in Geck and created one today but don't have time to write it up at the moment I will create a tutorial for you with images tomorrow if you still need help.

Setting up Wild wasteland encounters is relatively simple.

1. First place all the items and Objects for your encounter.

2. Place an Xmarker near your encounter

3. Open the form of each of your encounters items, go to the Enabling Parent tab and link the form to the Xmarker you have placed.

4. Open up the XMarker you placed and go to Enable Parent tab In the cell field type NVWildWastelandCell, In the reference field find WildWastelandEnabler (XMarker). Note: this is easy to find in the cell because it is the only form in the cell.

5. Place a GenericWildWastelandTrigger over your encounter. (This doesn't need to be linked to anything it checks if you have the perk and plays the sound and shows the Wild wasteland message.)

 

Done and Done! Your encounter will now work with the wild wasteland perk.

 

Hope this helps

@chucksteel, thanks for your explanation man! I'm new to the GECK and I can't figure out how to actually place the trigger right. It counts triggers that I place, but I don't see them (!?) Do you have any tips how to corectly place the trigger?

I haven't ever made a wild wasteland event, but by triggers I assume you're having trouble with making the area that the player enters which sets off the wild wasteland message etc.

So look at this

http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Creating_Primitives

 

You make a primitive, probably like on of those orange cubes. Double click on the orange cube, and under the script for the cube, find the script " GenericWildWastelandTriggerSCRIPT" and hit ok.

 

So in case you don't understand the scripting language with respect to the triggers I'll annotate this script for you

 

scn GenericWildWastelandTriggerSCRIPT ; this is the name of the script

begin OnTriggerEnter Player ;this means the following block of code will run when the player enters the trigger this script is attached to

if Player.HasPerk WildWasteland; if the player has the wild wasteland perk

PlaySound UIWildWasteland; play the sound

showmessage WildWastelandMessage; show the message

endif ; end the if statement

disable; I assume this disables the trigger, so that next time you walk through that orange cube, the wild wasteland sound, etc. won't play again.

end; ends the script

I got it to work with clicking the "T" in the task bar and just placing a generic trigger (because DUH, it is the Generic Wild Wasteland trigger) ;). Then select "GenericWildWastelandTrigger" as ID, and the rest will happen automatically. I tried it in game and it worked.

 

BUT, I have a new problem. The objects linked to the X marker do not appear in game. My first event worked, but the second (I did exactly the same) event is giving me headaches. Everything is set op the same as the first event, but the items are just not there in game. Maybe it's just the GECK having a seizure, but yeah... maybe I'm just missing something.

sounds like the enabling parent is not set correctly.

 

you could go find some other wild wasteland event you already know about, double click on one of the objects, go to the enabling parent tab and see what obsidian did.

I've got the same thing. Enable Parent seems to be set like it should. I tried to find a Wild Wasteland event in GECK, but since you can only render small parts of the world, I don't see how I could ever find the right cell.

 

The only thing I can think of is that the XMarker doesn't have a Reference Editor ID...

[chucksteel]

the problem is because my explanation was for Wild Wasteland encounter with new clean saves. I didn't think of if you had already triggered a wild wasteland encounter before enabling your new mod.

In this case you'll need to give your xmarker a custom Ref ID.
Don't link it to the master Wild Wasteland xmarker
create a custom Wild Wasteland trigger with this Script.

scn MYGenericWildWastelandTriggerSCRIPT

begin OnTriggerEnter Player
	if Player.HasPerk WildWasteland
		MyWWXmarker.Enable
		PlaySound UIWildWasteland
		showmessage WildWastelandMessage
	endif
	disable
end
