New Modder to Fallout 3-need help with learning to script themes and d

[THJT9]

Hi there,

I'm new to this site but I have experience in modding games, but not in Fallout 3. I am trying to make a theme option where you can turn your megaton home into an outpost for the Brotherhood of Steel, but I have no idea where to look for the sections to add dialogue options and how to add all the items I want so that they'll only show up as a theme. The placing of items is going fine, with several items including door guards already added, but I'm lost when it comes to this.

 

Thanks in advance,

You will have to write a script that enables all of the objects that you put in the home once you have an item in your inventory, something like a holotape. the dialogue section is on the top row of buttons on the geck, represented by the speech bubble. look for crows dialogue tutorial somewhere around the nexus. it's really helpful. I hope this helps. :)

Yes that helps a lot-I will also have a look for that tutorial you mentioned, as now I know where the themes are set I can get on with changing them :) Next stop finding out how to set the objects as a theme-shouldn't be too hard though...

 

Thanks again :)

Your script for the theme should look something like this

 

scn BrotherhoodofSteelTheme

 

begin onadd.player

(whatever your item references are named).enable

end

begin ondrop.player

(the same reference id's).disable

end

 

you will have to use put in an enable and disable for every item that you added to the home.

Make this an object script and attach it to the theme holotape.

This also makes it so that when you drop the holotape the theme goes away.
