Need Help With Complex scripts

[WildWitch]

Hiya I hope this day finds you well

 

I am trying to make a mod for an alternitive way to learn spells in skyrim

 

Basicialy I need a script that does the following

 

if spell cast at (Refspellflames)

if altarbowl contains 1 of referenced item 1

if altarbowl contains 1 of refrenced item 2

Remove item from bowl

Givespelltoplayer

Else if spellcastat (Refspellfrostbite)

if altarbowl contains 1 of refrenced item 1

if altarbowl contains 1 of refrenced item 2

Remove Items from bowl

Givespell to player

Else if spell cast at (refspellsparks)

if altarbowl contains 1 of refrenced item 1

if altarbowl contains 1 of refrenced item 2

remove items from bowl

give spell to player

ect

else

Trace "Your experiment failed"

endif

end

 

As you can see I have a problem as I need the script to check what spell is cast at the bowl and what items currently resides in the bowl and I need to do this for every spell in the game, how do I get it to check

 

Thankyou for reading this

Kind Regards

Wildwitch

Your If SpellCastAt is supposed to be something to check when the player casts a soell and if it's the right spell, correct?

 

If someone gets to this before I wake up and return from work tomorrow then awesome, if not I'll do it. It's really not complex at all.

yes the ifspellcastat is to check weather the right spell is cast at the Ritual bowl, thanks for your help :)

Ok well this is going about it backwards. I'll still make the script but I also did a tutorial on this, though you may not understand since I don't think you've scripted before:

Yah Im no good at scripting lol, mostly I cut and paste bits of scripts I find in game to get the effect I want :smile: Thanks again

 

Each spell needs a spell rite for the script to work for example fireball needs the Rite of fireball book (note) plus its spell catalyst

 

Here are the spell catalysts and thier spells to trigger a successful experiment

Ive just hit a wall with my research menus

 

Basicaly I need

 

a basic menu script that activates when the player activates my booksetobject

Then shows message

Then Allows the player to push 1 of 3 option buttons

Then Adds a book to the player depending on which button they push

 

Thanks Matthiaswagg :smile: I will put you in the mod credits.

 

Heres what I have but the menu doesnt show up in game

 

Scriptname ZZZ_SRAncientSpellsActivatorScript extends ObjectReference

Book Property ROEquilibrium Auto
Message Property AncientSpellsMessage Auto
Actor Property PlayerRef Auto

Event OnRead()
Game.DisablePlayerControls(False, False, False, False, False, True) ; Ensure MessageBox is not on top of other menus & prevent book from opening normally.
Game.EnablePlayerControls(False, False, False, False, False, True) ; Undo DisablePlayerControls
Menu()
EndEvent

Function Menu(Bool abMenu = True, Int aiButton = 0)
While abMenu
If aiButton != -1 ; Wait for input (this can prevent problems if recycling the aiButton argument in submenus)
aiButton = AncientSpellsMessage.Show() ; Menu
abMenu = False ; End the function
If aiButton == 0 ; Equilibrium
PlayerREF.Additem(ROEquilibrium, 1, FALSE)
ElseIf aiButton == 1 ; Nothing
EndIf
EndIf
EndWhile
EndFunction

Unfortunatly a mod I just installed and really like conflicts with my placing of the book shelves so I will be re-doing this mod to work from a menu system rather than a spell cast at system :), there is sufficient data online for me to hopefully make a menu for this mod.
