scripting assistance

[bioshards]

i need a script for apearal that checks if the actor wearing it has taken a specific amount of damage

[Ladez]

You need to be more specific. Is this just a check for how much HP the actor currently has left, or do you want to consider how much damage the actor has lost over time?

I need a script that i can put on a hat that once the actor wearing it has lost 40% of their health, the hat would be dropped on the on the ground

[Hemingway308]

ref Wearer

ref rMe

float fHealthPercent

float fTimer

 

Begin OnAdd

 

let Wearer := GetContainer

let rMe := GetSelf ; * if that doesn't work, use the name of the hat

 

End

 

Begin GameMode

 

let fTimer += GetSecondsPassed

if fTimer < 1 ; * run at most once per second

return

endif

let fTimer := 0

 

let fHealthPercent := (Wearer.GetAV "Health") / Wearer.GetBaseHealth

 

if fHealthPercent < 0.4

Wearer.Drop rMe

endif

 

End

Is it possible to have a script thats not on a timer?

I have alot of bad expiences with timers

[Ladez]

It's really harmless, but just remove the timer part if you don't want it.

Haha, yeah thats justified, I actually had a mistake in the that code (forgot the 'let fTimer := 0'). If you do the timer that way it will work though, the mistake is not incrementing a float- either they use an int or just check GetSecondsPassed (which returns something like 0.05). Use that (edited) code and it will work though. ;)

 

If you skip the timer then a game mode block (except quests) will run every frame, so 30-120 times per second. So, a waste of resources. Also, that script will run when the hat is not equipped, if you want to stop that, use IsEquipped (new nvse), or Wearer.GetEquipped MyHat.

[Ladez]

... use IsEquipped (new nvse) ...

What function is that? Doesn't compile when I try it.

[Hemingway308]

You'll have to wait for the new NVSE ;).

Is there a way i can check if its equiped? My character keeps dropping the hats even when the hat isnt equiped, its also very strange seeing my character dropping 20 hats for no reason like sonic dropping rings
