Still the same, doesn't do anything when I exit the menu.

[Mattiewagg]

Yeah, no need whatsoever to declare (native) functions in your scripts, ever. Just new functions you've created IN THAT SCRIPT.

 

And I'll give your script a full read later on and provide my thoughts.

[Kerberus14]

Does it matter at all? I just want to remember what I used in the code, can't I leave it in there? I usually look in my code and see the functions and I'm all like 'Yeah, I need to look for this one in particular.'

[Mattiewagg]

You should not have it in there. Just comment it out at the very least. You should not have that extraneous code for the compiler, you should not be declaring native functions, etc.

 

Just put a comment at the top of your code/after properties:

 

;MyNativeFunction(Parameters)

 

It's a bad habit to be declaring it in your script as its uneccessary/messy/etc. And MAY have ramifications though I'm not sure.

Is there a way to change an object's directory in the CK? Eg: Move something from Potion/Clutter/DeadAnimals to Potion/Clutter/Food.

See Specific Naming Conventions for info on what you're asking about.

 

Thanks Matthiaswagg, great tutorial :) It doesn't help my slightly disorganised food records (cloned from the various categories that the game food is sorted into), but I'm confident that if you haven't found a way yet, then there probably isn't. At least naming conventions was something that I had already considered :)

Yeah, it was more to show HOW the stuff like food is organized so you could understand.

Yes, that part was quite interesting. It's always good to know more about how the game and tools work.

Is it possible to have a quest provide a different reward each time that it is completed? Or would it be better to have separate quests (let's suppose that there are a lot of different rewards - dozens)?

 

Also, if said quest is a timed quest, is it possible to add something to the script so that the length of the time to complete the quest increases each time? I know very little about code, but I'm guessing that if there were, that something would go in here GlobalTime.SetValue(GlobalDays.GetValue() * 7 + GetNumberOfTimesCompleted x 7)

Yep, you can use RandomInt to choose from an Array/bunch of properties for your rewards and then award a different one depending on the number.

 

And to do the time, use this script:

 

http://www.creationkit.com/Complete_Example_Scripts#Script_for_a_quest_with_time_limit

 

You'd modify endTime. So where it says:

endTime = Utility.GetCurrentGameTime()+GlobalDays.GetValue()

You could add to endTime. So, for example:

endTime = (Utility.GetCurrentGameTime()+GlobalDays.GetValue()) * TimesQuestDone

With TimesQuestDone as an integer var/property updated += 1 every time you complete the quest.

This script regulates the player's weight, placed keywords all around the place to make sure it works correctly.

 

 

 

 

Do you think you have to use this function:
