'Dagon Statue' must Crumble after Death High-priest(ess) by Sc

[dutch666]

I'm planning on making good use of a Script (scn StatueDagonCrumble01SCRIPT) which makes the statue of Mehrunes Dagon inside Lake Arrius Caverns crumble, whilst most happily kicking Ruma Camoran's tight ass.

 

The plan is to make all of the Mehrunes Dagon's Statues in my Mod called 'Oblivion 4ever' crumble right after you have killed the Shrine's High-Priest(ess).

 

The aforementioned Script reads as follows:

 

 

scn StatueDagonCrumble01SCRIPT

 

short activated

float timer

ref mySelf

ref myParent

 

float fTrapDamage

float fTrapPushBack

float fTrapMinVelocity

short bTrapContinuous

 

begin onLoad

 

set mySelf to getSelf

set myParent to getParentRef

 

set fTrapDamage to 0

set fTrapPushBack to 500

set fTrapMinVelocity to 20

set bTrapContinuous to 0

 

end

 

begin onActivate

 

if isActionRef player == 0 && isActionRef mySelf == 0 && activated == 0

playgroup unequip 0

myParent.activate mySelf 1

set activated to 1

set timer to 7

set fTrapDamage to 20

endif

 

end

 

begin gameMode

 

if activated == 1 && timer <= 0

set activated to 2

set fTrapDamage to 0

endif

 

if timer >= 0

set timer to timer - getSecondsPassed

endif

 

end

 

My question is:

 

 

what needs to be altered in the above script to make the statue of Mehrunes Dagon crumble immideatly after the High-Priest(ess) dies?

 

I'm a far better World (re)Builder than Scripter, so if you could help me? Thanks! :thumbsup:

I wouldn't mind helping you. The only thing is that it's getting late where I am so I will only be available tomorrow.

[dutch666]

Ok, sleep well and see you tomorrow :cool:

[XJDHDR]

Okay I can help now. Try creating a new object script then type this into it:

ScriptName {WhateverNameYouWantInOneWord}

Begin OnDeath

{ReferenceIDOfStatue}.playgroup unequip 0

End

 

If you are trying to do this to the default statue in Lake Arrius caverns, the Reference ID of the statue is MQ06DagonStatueRef. Then attach this script to the High Priest(ess). After that, try killing the priest in a game and see what happens.

That's a short script! :blink:

 

:thanks: I wil test this ASAP and see if it works, more about this tomorrow!

Basically, it is this command, playgroup unequip 0, that causes the statue to crumble. Everything else is just to syncronise with a dust cloud, time things and have an unknown purpose. Or at least I'm sure of that. Based on what you see during testing, there may be more that we need to add.

Your script works! = Kudo for you! :thanks:

 

I've made the following changes to the "scn StatueDagonCrumble01" script:

 

 

scn O4EStatueDagonCrumble02SCRIPT

 

short activated

short busy

float timer

ref mySelf

ref myParent

 

float fTrapDamage

float fTrapPushBack

float fTrapMinVelocity

short bTrapContinuous

 

Begin onLoad

 

set mySelf to getSelf

set myParent to getParentRef

 

set fTrapDamage to 0

set fTrapPushBack to 500

set fTrapMinVelocity to 20

set bTrapContinuous to 0

 

End

 

Begin onActivate

 

if isActionRef player == 0 && isActionRef mySelf == 0 && activated == 0

playgroup unequip 0

myParent.activate mySelf 1

set activated to 1

set timer to 7

set fTrapDamage to 20

endif

 

End

 

Begin gameMode

 

if activated == 1 && timer <= 0

set activated to 2

set fTrapDamage to 0

endif

 

if timer >= 0

set timer to timer - getSecondsPassed

endif

 

End

 

Begin onReset

 

reset3DState

set busy to 0

 

End

 

 

The above script also works, but there is no (visible) dust animation while the statue of Mehrunes Dagon crumbles to the ground.

 

-> :confused:

[XJDHDR]

The dust is a seperate CS object that has to be placed over the statue (it is those orange boxes all over the statue in Lake Arrius caverns). I don't know why Bethesda didn't just make this easier for everyone by adding the dust as part of the statue's animation, but anyway.

 

I presume that most of the script on the statue and dust cloud is to handle the animating that happens when the player picks up the Mysterium Xerxes. If you really want the dust, I can try looking at the statue setup again and see if I can work out how it works exactly.

Yes plz do, it will make the crumbling of the statue look much better :thumbsup:

 

I will credit you big time in the README of Oblivion 4ever v1.7.
