Trying to edit a script .. but am I editing the right one?

[Skyviper086]

Hello

 

I'm trying to edit the scipt for Wasteland Defense mod basically I would like to have the range for the boundary markets pushed back considerably.

 

I see like "distancetomainlogic" 500 I punched in 5500 and when spawning the sign I couldn't see it . So now I'm wondering what line in Wasteland defense do I need to edit to set the distance I'm looking for the boundry markers to have?

 

I don't think about scripting but I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

 

Thank you.

If you elaborated a bit, people who don't have the mod could help as well.

 

What does the mod do? What do the boundary markers do in-game? What sign could you not see?

 

It may not be a script function you are looking for, generally "markers" are used in the Render Window of the GECK, though without more information I can't really help more than that.

Okay,

 

Well the mod is called Wasteland Defense it lets you build a fort and then defend it against a hordes of attackers, either NCR, Mutans, Bos, or Raiders (or sometimes combined groups of these). The first thing you create is a water tower and many things you place in the game (in RTS style) have to be within a boundry of the water tower you can not build outside that boundry.

 

The boarder markers (labled patrol marker A-D in the GECK) set your "boundries" for your fort. You have to be a certain distance away from the water tower to set them however you can't bee too far away either. These markers in the mod do two things. One they are the patrol waypoints for the guards you hire to patrol your base they will walk from A-D patrolling the camp and destroy any enemy they enouncter. Two they serve as the spawn point for the raiding parties. Because they serve as the spawn point for the raiding parties I'm wanting to move the "boundry marker signs" much further away from my base to allow you more time to counter their attack (because they have a way of appearing and then in a matter or seconds half your base or settlement (if using Real Time Settler) is gone. Yes its exciting but at the same time (to my knowledge) it does not allow for ample room to build a large settlement that you would like to build.

 

In addition to pushing them (the boarder markers) back I would like to have a way for when a certain item is bough (a radar dish or sat com array that you see on Black Mountain) it can spawn a map marker at the raiding parties entry point to help you locate the attacking force better throughout the vast region you control.

 

Wasteland Defense works well with Real Time Strategy because while one is focused on building a settlemetn the other is focused on building a military installation which can be used to protect that settlement.

 

I'll be more than happy to clarify other things the best I cna if you need me to.

But basically the water tower controls how far away you can build something. The markers have to placed on the boundry of your encampment and I'm trying to double if not tripple their distance so the raiding parties will have some terrain to cover before getting to my base or settlement.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to help out.

 

I found this but I can't edit in the GECK I can change numbers but I can't save the changes GECK keeps asking me if I want to save the changes and I click yes over and over again and nothing happens and the changes don't take place. But I think this is what I need to edit.

That happens when the script you are trying to save has syntax errors, as GECKNV likes to keep you guessing. If the script you posted is the entire thing, start to finish, it won't save because there are several syntax errors. Otherwise, it could be because you need NVSE to save some of the command functions such as ShowMessage.

 

 

if BoundaryMarkers == 0

 

if Stage == 2 && Activemarker.GetDistance WaterWellRef > DistanceX && SettlementStarted == 1

ShowMessage aaaSettlementTooFar

Set DistanceXTooFar to 1

activemarker.sms aaaSettlementAMGlowGreen

activemarker.pms aaaSettlementAMGlowRed

elseif Stage == 2 && Activemarker.GetDistance WaterWellRef < DistanceX && SettlementStarted == 1

Set DistanceXTooFar to 0

activemarker.sms aaaSettlementAMGlowRed

activemarker.pms aaaSettlementAMGlowGreen

endif

 

elseif BoundaryMarkers == 2

 

SHORT boundaryend

Set boundaryend to DistanceX + 3000

 

I would also try fiddling with this line, increasing the 3000 in 100 unit steps, seeing what happens.

 

 

In addition to pushing them (the boarder markers) back I would like to have a way for when a certain item is bough (a radar dish or sat com array that you see on Black Mountain) it can spawn a map marker at the raiding parties entry point to help you locate the attacking force better throughout the vast region you control.

 

This mod has BoS patrols through the DC area, and it is possible to toggle their map markers on so you can see where they are, and the markers move in real time I believe. You could download this mod, see how it handles the map markers and recreate it for your own purposes. The trigger to activate this function would, of course, be whether or not you have the satellite dish.

 

Does the script define what DistanceX is? Does it define what the BoundaryMarkers values represent? In fact, could you post the entire script, start to finish, preferably in a Spoiler window?

[Skyviper086]

I didn't think about the NVSE :pinch: :facepalm: .... however I did find a quick and sloppy fix to this (I say sloppy because it requires another MOD) Apparently RTS can move things and not be pinned down by the distanceX clause. I say that for anyone you may encounter this problem and is looking for a quick solution.

 

However now that I started this process I'd like to see it finished (so I can get a sense of accomplishment :happy:)

 

Here is the "aaaSettlementMainLogic Script" in its entirity apparently the other things that I was editing that I could edit specified the distance between you and the object that you were placing so when i set them to 5500 some poor NPC across the wasteland was probably wondering why there was a sign floating in his face.

I'll take a look at the other mod because that does sound exactly what I was looking for. Once again thank you so much for taking the time to do this

It would seem that the key is in finding out what the BoundaryMarker values represent, as that section clearly deals with distance limitations, making the marker turn red and showing the "too far" message.

 

The DistanceX + 1000 and 2000 values would seem to relate to setting the patrol markers, but the DistanceX + 3000 could relate to enemy spawning perhaps? You say that the patrol markers are also spawn points, does that mean the enemies spawn inside your camp, or that the guards are patrolling outside? Do the enemies literally spawn on top of the guards' heads, or are they a little distance away? If it's the latter, I'd try whacking the 3000 up to 4000 and spawn some enemies. Bearing in mind you might have to rebuild your camp for the changes to take effect.

[Skyviper086]

It's the latter. You got it right the enemy spawn where the markers are and the patrol guards are scripted to walk between the markers so sometimes they encoutner enemy foces right on top of their heads. (I figured that own when I placed mines around the signs they enemy would spawn and then die. They spawn at the sign and then move the water tower (which is in the heart of your town)

[Skyviper086]

Got it!

 

I had tweak all three sets of numbers and now my oh my do I have a some massive room to deal with.

 

Thank you for all of your help!
