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.

 

Ah yes, thank you :) TimesQuestDone is exactly what I was hoping for (considering the Thieves guild quests I figured it would be possible).

 

Would using RandomInt make the reward random, or, once each reward is assigned from a number, could that number be a specific one? I'm trying to find a shortcut to having to dozens of quests that are ultimately the same (read a book, get a time limit (depending on TimesQuestDone), receive a different reward depending on the book read).

 

Next question, and I possibly should have asked this first, is there a way to apply a property to an item without it being an enchantment?

You just declare an array, and fill it, and then:

Int random = Utility.RandomInt(1, 100); replace 100 with number of possible rewards - 1

Player.AddItem(MyArray[Random])
That is, if you're using an array. Otherwise you'll have to set up a long If/ElseIf thing for each value of Random to add the corresponding item.

 

As for your second question... No idea. I'm not really a magic guy.

I suppose that I could just adjust the number of enchantments possible, but I was more going for 'traits'.... Find a book, research trait (timed quest), recieve spell/ability, use new recipe to smith traited armor/weapons (which have the spell/ability as a condition), apply enchantment.

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:

 

http://www.creationkit.com/UpdateWeight_-_Actor

 

?

 

I didn't have to use it before, I know that all of those lines DO work in that order(I experimented with this before in an onupdate event) but there is something stopping them from working with the OnMenuClose event.. I'll have to find a workaround I guess, maybe using an OnUpdate Event to set that weight then unregistering, but there's the slight problem that Event may be running during ShowRaceMenu, oddly enough I have found out that as soon as I get out of ShowRaceMenu my movementspeed doesn't get updated until after 1 second has passed, so there is a possibility that OnUpdate events are paused during ShowRaceMenu, so there's a chance.

Haha no worries Matthias :smile: I think I may have found something that could work, based on the sliver sword effect. Add a script to the new weapon -

 

 

 

Scriptname ElloAbSharpened extends ObjectReference

 

Perk Property ElloAbSharpened auto

Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)
akActor.AddPerk(ElloAbSharpened)
EndEvent

Event OnUnEquipped(Actor akActor)
akActor.RemovePerk(ElloAbSharpened)
EndEvent

 

Then create the perk with Entry Point Mod Target Damage Resist with a multiplier of 0.94 (Sharpened trait increases armor [and spell, but I'm only doing a test run, so only added the one] penetration by 6% ie ignores 6% of damage resistance).

 

Is there a way I can see that perk is working when I equip the weapon?

The USKP team made some changes the silver weapon perk and script because in certain situations it can cause bugs, so I would recommend checking out their changes and considering whether you need to incorporate them into your version.

 

Unfortunately I have not found a good way of testing this type of perk in-game. You just have to have faith.

Ok, I checked that and the post I found the information on must have already had USKP installed, so I'm all good there. Thanks for the tip. It looks like ESO style traited armor and weapons will be achievable :D Combining my two favourite TES games = bliss. Will these effects stack if wearing two of the same type?

Can anyone make me an example script that does this?:

 

After X hours of game time had passed, increase value of a variable by Y.

This is the complete script, I was right, OnUpdate events are paused during showracemenu, so this works like a charm. And I did have to use the UpdateWeight function because the neck did look pretty odd =p, I don't know if QueueNiNode is still necessary or if it has any ramifications if kept there, but I'll just keep it there incase.
Because of the keywords I added to all the food items in the game it correctly checks if I'm drinking or eating. The only thing that I haven't tested yet is the OnSleepEnd and OnSleepStart events because I haven't had time XD, at this point I just wished I had testers.
Additional: Is it possible to advance the rate at which time passes in Papyrus? And how?
