GBM: Fresh Start Terminal Script HELP

[BerlinRunner]

Hello, I'll keep this brief.

 

 

 

I am making a terminal, that will allow the following actions,

 

1.Choose your name

2.Design your face.

3. Select your traits

4. Select your TAGskills

5. Select your SPECIAL's

 

 

 

I have most of them set up, with exception of the Face code keeps crashing the game when I choose it and the SPECIALS menu doesn't allow me to add points, only subtract, and I can't seem to get out of the menu once I'm done.

 

I need someone to help me fix those^

 

 

BUT WHAT I REALLY NEED.... I need a script for the following, which is that I need these functions to performed ONLY once.

 

I have the variables right here:

 

 

scn 1GBMTerminalVariables

;Variables for the terminal

short TagSkill

short SPECIAL

short Traits

short SetRace

short SetName

and I have the code set up on the terminal so that when an option is chosen, it is switched to "1".

For example, here is the one for SetName -

shownamemenu

set 1GBMTerminalVariables.SetName to 1

ForceTerminalBack

So if someone could set up a script, please, that once these have been set to 1, then the choices CANNOT be accessible again.

Thank you so much.

BONUS POINTS!!!! - If you want to write a script for me where I can set the player to spawn in a specific location, once they start a new game, instead of Doc Mitchell's house, or at least, tell me how to, I would great appreciate it.

As I posted in your other thread, you don't need to write a script to remove the menu entries specifically, it's the conditions in the terminal data field (under contiions) that does that. For example use a simple condition like TagSkill == 0, and once the result script in your terminal flips tagSkill to 1, it won't show up anymore. Just like you would in dialog for a quest script. I can't show you screenshots as my main machine is down and I have to reinstall everything.

Set up a Xmarker (say playerStartXmarker) where you want them to appear and then use "player.moveto playerStartXmarker"

Great, I'll look into that.

 

 

Also any suggestions for the race menu and Special's menu issues???

 

 

 

Also, where it says Conditions, I can't seem to find my script variables, as well as anything like Getplayername....Suggestions?

Yeah, just like my reply in the other thread, it's showRace, in the result script. Then have it back up how ever many levels to the main menu....after the showRace function. Specials for FO3 style menu is ShowSPECIALBookMenuParams, but for the NV version just look at the script attached to the vigor machine and you'll see the NV function.

See the problem is, I did that but whenever I go in-game, it crashes on me when I select the race menu, and the SPECIAL menu, I can only subtract points, but I can't add any to the abilities and then it won't let me exit out of the menu.

You may have more more than 1 menuMode going at one time (from the terminal). Try using it from the console and see if it crashes in the same way.

Basically it is a console.... At least the model... it loads up though, as a Terminal. If you're referring to something different, let me know.

No I mean the console built into NV, the one you open with the tilde key.

 

It's a type of menumode and I believe that the terminal is a type of menumode. I believe that your CTD is related to calling a menumode (in this case 1036 race/sex, via showRace) while already in a menumode (terminal). If that turns out to be the case then you have to boot the player out of the terminal before the showrace (or the specials menumode etc) fire up.

 

Unfortunately I can't troubleshoot that for you as I'm out for the count until I can get my main pc up and running and even then I have to dowload NV

Ahhhh... You're killing me, man. I need scripting help ASAP because I been racking my brain trying to get this **** terminal to work proper for the past 3 days... I appreciate the help but do you know anybody that is very familiar with scripting, and could possibly help me out in this situation?

I'v given you everything you need in detail *and* you have plenty of examples in the game. I can explain it to you but I can't *make* you understand it. Seriously It's not rocket science, it's actually a simple exercise. Honestly, at this point if you haven't gotten it, put up a request and ask someone to do it for you.
