Would this script work?

[mcole254]

So the goal is to get a custom race to be reconized as a vampire could I make a script along the following lines?:

{ifrace="custom race"}

set PCVampire=1

end

I haven't really worked with a script like this before. I would think it would be more like this:

 

Begin Gamemode
    If Player.GetIsRace "custom race" == 1
         Set PCVampire to 1
    EndIf
End

Hhhmmm, it didn't work, thanks for the help though

There is a way to do this through the Dialogue section.

open the CS and go to -- Conversation -- HELLO.

If you look at how other hello's are done you should soon figure out the conditions needed for people to treat you as a vamp. ( it doesn't matter what your race is, Player ref always applies ).

Just dont give it a random reply, also if you go to the very last hello's you will see how they deal with disease responses, the condition -- GetIsRace VampireRace == 1 -- is available to use anywhere in this section. But the hello's are random....so there is no guarantee just when it will be said.

A script can also be written that makes NPC's say stuff to you under certain conditions, but I only know how to do this using OBSE -- and a new quest with it's own conversation would need to be created.

this is the quest section.

this is the kind of script you will need to attach to the quest.

extra conditions can be applied to the script to make it more versatile...but I must leave that to you, as you know what you want more than I.

What I was trying to do was satisfy a condition for a sertain quest and promped dialog, all of them check for PCVampire, while I could go through and change all of them, I was just trying to make a script to add that condition to a certain race I was using.

That's different....you will still need to make a quest with it's own unique dialogue ( topics )...and set conditions for those topics to be available.

 

this script should work on the quest.

 

scn aaaVamp

 

short vamp

 

begin gamemode

 

if vamp == 0

player.addtopic <topic name>

set vamp to 1

endif

 

end

 

 

if you set conditions that only a certain NPC should say this ( GetIsID <NPC> == 1 && player.getisrace vampirerace == 1 ), then only that dialogue will show in their conversation list.

 

Setting a variable will also controll when the dialogue is available.

 

Lets say your quest is called aaaVamp1, and it has 5 stages -- and you want a conversation available at stage 3.

stage 3 has the value 30 ( for example ), so the script would look like this:

 

scn aaaVamp

 

short vamp

 

begin gamemode

 

if getstage aaaVamp1 == 30 && vamp == 0

player.addtopic <topic name>

set vamp to 1

endif

 

end

Wow thanks, that is prettry helpful, however my goal was to make a compatability between a quest mod and a custom race. My thought was to make a script as i said before that would have that race satisfy the condition of the quest. However if i can't get it to work i will just have to go through and change all of the conditions for the quest.
