Scripting Help: Werewolf Follower Transformations

[thisisheffner]

Greetings,

 

I am pretty new to the modding scene and in the process of creating a custom follower. While most aspects of the Creation Kit are easy enough for me, scripting has proven to be a challenge. What I want my follower to do is, when he hits 30% health, to transform into a werewolf, and then, when combat has ended, to revert back to his wood elf form.

 

The game has scripts for NPCs to transform into werewolves, but none that I understand allow for transforming back to human (or mer) form.

 

Can anyone guide me in right direction? I don't have a base script of my own even.

You could try asking the author of AFT for help. AFT includes an option to have your followers transform into a werewolf. Turning back just automatically happens when the duration is not extended by feeding and runs out.

Thank you for your response. :)

 

A big issue for me is, no matter which in game script I use (DLC2TribalWerebearScript, DLC2WEWerewolfTransformAliasScript, etc.), the follower gets stuck indefinitely as a werewolf. May I ask what AFT stands for?

Now I'm not super at scripting but this is similar to actually what I am doing with one of my characters in DIscworld

Except the float I just gave her a 30% chance on combat change so this may or may not work, I am not sure how to do % exactly on the if call to soooo you on your own for that one

All this does is insta change them back to a preset race whenever they leave combat, and if they are under 200 health (I hope) will pop them into wolf with transform and all, that spell will auto fill in the property window btw

All I did was compile to make sure it did but I didn't test so GL

Scriptname testwerewolfscriptfornexus extends ObjectReference

SPELL Property WerewolfChangeFX Auto

Actor Property actorproperty Auto

race property raceyouwant auto

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor akTarget, int aeCombatState)

if (aeCombatState == 0)

actorproperty.setrace(raceyouwant)

unregisterforupdate()

elseif (aeCombatState == 1)

registerforupdate(3.0)

endif

endevent

event onupdate()

float ActorHealth2 = actorproperty.GetAV("health")

if actorhealth2 <= 200

werewolfchangefx.cast(actorproperty)

unregisterforupdate()

endif

endevent

Thank you @Darren83 for the assistance. I made some minor modifications to the script below. I am running into an error where the follower will transform into a werewolf at the correct health marker, but then becomes stuck and reverts to a version of his wood elf form, just with the skeleton of the werewolf (meaning hunched with elongated limbs). I don't know if that's related to the script or the WerewolfChangeFX...

 

The script I use us:

Scriptname FollowerWerewolfTransformAliasScript extends ObjectReference

SPELL Property WerewolfChangeFX  Auto  
 
Actor Property actorproperty  Auto  
race property raceyouwant auto
 
event onupdate()
	float ActorHealth2 = actorproperty.GetAVPercentage("Health")
	if (ActorHealth2 < 0.5)
		werewolfchangefx.cast(self)
		unregisterforupdate()
	endif
endevent

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor akTarget, int aeCombatState)
	if (aeCombatState == 0)
		actorproperty.setrace(raceyouwant)
		unregisterforupdate()
	elseif (aeCombatState == 1)
		registerforupdate(3.0)
	endif
endevent

[DDProductions83]

RegisterForAnimationEvent(actor, "SetRace")

 

Try that after each race change and the werewolfspell

 

I have it in and havent had a issue forgot, actually popped up the script to see but I've never had the issue you are mentioning

[thisisheffner]

I don't know if I did it correctly, as I still have that issue. This is what the script looks like:

Scriptname FollowerWerewolfTransformAliasScript extends ObjectReference

SPELL Property WerewolfChangeFX  Auto  
 
Actor Property actorproperty  Auto  
race property raceyouwant auto
 
event onupdate()
	float ActorHealth2 = actorproperty.GetAVPercentage("Health")
	if (ActorHealth2 < 0.5)
		werewolfchangefx.cast(self)
		RegisterForAnimationEvent(actorproperty, "SetRace")
		unregisterforupdate()
	endif
endevent

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor akTarget, int aeCombatState)
	if (aeCombatState == 0)
		actorproperty.setrace(raceyouwant)
		RegisterForAnimationEvent(actorproperty, "SetRace")
		unregisterforupdate()
	elseif (aeCombatState == 1)
		registerforupdate(3.0)
	endif
endevent

Try changing "Self" to a exact maybe?

Also is it a custom race?

If it still hapens I have no idea I do not have that problem at all

[thisisheffner]

No, the follower is just a standard Wood Elf male. The only special thing about him is that I wanted him to be able to go werewolf when low of health...

 

Thank you anyways for all of your assistance, @Darren83 :). Does anyone else have ideas?

[thisisheffner]

Sorry to repost, but I could really use some help. No matter what I do to the script, I still get the same issue where my follow transforms but then instantly shifts back to his Wood Elf race, just with the skeleton of the werewolf. This is the latest edition of my script. Please help, if you can.

	elseif (aeCombatState == 1)
		registerforupdate(1.5)
	endif

event onupdate()
	float ActorHealth2 = actorproperty.GetAVPercentage("Health")
	if (ActorHealth2 < 0.4)
		werewolfchangefx.cast(actorproperty)
