Adding a fade to black and timer script...

[Deleted2746547User]

HOW WOULD I FIX MY SCRIPT TO INCLUDE A FADE TO BLACK, PLAY A SOUND AND TAKE A GAME HOUR OR SO DOING IT. I THINK I KNOW THE SCRIPT TO ADD THE PIECES (THAT IS I KNOW HOW TO DO A FADE SCRIPT/PLAY MUSIC) BUT i DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE MY SCRIPT (SYNTAX) TO MAKE THAT WORK...

scn BlackbriarNorthRedoubtBuildScript

short AwaitingInput

short buttonVar

begin OnActivate

ShowMessage BlackbriarWashoeNorthRedoubtChoiceMesg

set awaitingInput to 1

end

begin gamemode

if awaitingInput == 1

set buttonVar to getbuttonpressed

if buttonVar > -1

set awaitingInput to 0

if buttonVar == 0

If BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarHammer >= 1 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarMetalResource >= 6 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarSandbag >= 18 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarResourceWood >= 8

BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.removeitem BlackbriarHammer 1

BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarSandbag 18

BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarMetalResource 6

BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarResourceWood 8

BlackbriarNorthRedoubtGuardPlacement.enable ; places hiring clipboard

BlackbriarNorthernRedoubtActivatorRef.Enable ; builds redoubt & checkpoints

BlackbriarNorthRedoubtActivatorRef.Disable ; disables build anvil

BlackbriarNorthRedoubtActivatorRef.markfordelete

ShowMessage BlackbriarConstructionUnderwayMsg

SetStage BlackbriarOPFire 30

else ShowMessage BlackbriarWashoeBuildingMaterialsMsg

endif

elseif buttonVar == 1

ShowMessage BlackbriarNextTimeMsg

endif

endif

endif

end

I'm not sure of how your script actually works (it's 1.30 AM and I'm too tired to dig through, going to sleep soon) so I can't tell you exactly where to add the code, but to make an hour pass use "SetPcSleepHours 1", for the fade to black use "imod FadeToBlackISFX" (there are several fade to black variants in ImageSpace Modifiers) and to play music use PlaySound [soundID].

 

Not sure if that actually helps. Sorry if it's not very useful.

[Deleted2746547User]

Jokerine ... how do you mean how it actually works? What's wrong with the code? RIght now, when you activate an activator it runs the script. What effect I'm trying to come up with is where it seems like it took time for the changes (items enabled to appear). hence, the fade to black and the passage of time. And since you're building or doing something, the sound. :) I know how to do the pieces you mentioned but to get them to work in this or a similar code... i'm at a loss. That is, the syntax.. (begin game mode, etc.)

 

THANKS for the reply though... you are always awesome.

[Deleted2746547User]

Here's kind of what I mean.. with this script I "Mine" for materials. When you activate the script a message displays, the screen fades to black, it plays a sound and a few hours passes. But no way I've tried to "merge" this effect with the other script work.

That is

scn BlackbriarResourceMetalMiningScriptMAIN

int State

Begin onActivate

If BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarRancherAxe >= 1 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarHempbag >= 5 && State == 0 && GetActionRef == player

set State to 1

else

ShowMessage BlackbriarYouNeedGearzMesg

endif

End

Begin GameMode

If State == 1

imod FadeToBlackISFX

Playsound BlackbriarBlackSmithHammer

RewardXP 5

BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.removeitem BlackbriarHempbag 5

Player.DamageActorValue Health 5

Player.ModActorValue Strength 2

Player.DamageActorValue Dehydration 5

Player.DamageActorValue Hunger 5

BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.additem BlackbriarMetalOreResource 3

BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.additem BlackbriarOreMineralResource 2

BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.additem BlackbriarPreciousMetalResource 1

set gamehour to gamehour + 6

ShowMessage BlackbriarSaltMinigMesg

set State to 0

Endif

End

I'm pretty new to scripting and I might not be fully understanding what you're trying to do, but it seems to me like you can just insert it in. I don't know if objects are going to be enabled right in front of the player, but just in case they are, I included a timer, too. This seems like it would work:

scn BlackbriarNorthRedoubtBuildScript
 
short AwaitingInput
short buttonVar
Short Timer
 
begin OnActivate
 
	ShowMessage BlackbriarWashoeNorthRedoubtChoiceMesg
	set awaitingInput to 1
 
end
 
begin gamemode

if awaitingInput == 1
	set buttonVar to getbuttonpressed
 
	if buttonVar == 0
		If BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarHammer >= 1 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarMetalResource >= 6 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarSandbag >= 18 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarResourceWood >= 8                     
			BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.removeitem BlackbriarHammer 1
			BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarSandbag 18
			BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarMetalResource 6
			BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarResourceWood 8

			imod FadeToBlackISFX

			if Timer < 3		;This makes 3 seconds pass, because the fade to black takes a few seconds to make the screen fully black.
				set Timer to Timer + GetSecondsPassed
			else			;This is what will happen while the screen is black.
				PlaySound YourSoundGoesHere
				SetPCSleepHours 1
				BlackbriarNorthRedoubtGuardPlacement.enable ; places hiring clipboard
               			BlackbriarNorthernRedoubtActivatorRef.Enable ; builds redoubt & checkpoints
				BlackbriarNorthRedoubtActivatorRef.Disable ; disables build anvil
				BlackbriarNorthRedoubtActivatorRef.markfordelete
				ShowMessage BlackbriarConstructionUnderwayMsg
				SetStage BlackbriarOPFire 30
				set awaitingInput to 0
			endif

		else
			ShowMessage BlackbriarWashoeBuildingMaterialsMsg
		endif
 
	elseif buttonVar == 1
		ShowMessage BlackbriarNextTimeMsg
		set awaitingInput to 0
	endif
endif

end

Again, I might be missing something, but I'm not sure that the Gamemode section of your mining script is needed. Where you have "set State to 1", why not just put the Gamemode section there? So it would be like this:

scn BlackbriarResourceMetalMiningScriptMAIN
 
int State
 
Begin onActivate
If BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarRancherAxe >= 1 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarHempbag >= 5 && State == 0 && GetActionRef == player
	imod FadeToBlackISFX
	Playsound BlackbriarBlackSmithHammer
	RewardXP 5
	BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.removeitem BlackbriarHempbag 5
	Player.DamageActorValue Health 5
	Player.ModActorValue Strength 2
	Player.DamageActorValue Dehydration 5
	Player.DamageActorValue Hunger 5
	BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.additem BlackbriarMetalOreResource 3
	BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.additem BlackbriarOreMineralResource 2
	BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.additem BlackbriarPreciousMetalResource 1
	set gamehour to gamehour + 6 
	ShowMessage BlackbriarSaltMinigMesg
else
	ShowMessage BlackbriarYouNeedGearzMesg
endif
End

I had partially figured out the issue. But both your advice and Jokerine's helped. Thanks!

[Deleted2746547User]

Know I'm missing something small in this but what? Trying to get it to play the ShowMessage After screen fades back in.

One final question tonight: I can't seem to find an answer on the crafting/inventory script. Trying to figure out how to pull ingredients, etc from a container when crafting items. So, the workbench, etc. checks that container for the items and then puts the crafted items back into that same container.

[Fallout2AM]

because it's not super easy and requires some line of code.

 

I can think to at least 2 approaches:

 

1) introduce your own custom crafting system, at least under certain conditions, so that vanilla won't be touched

 

2) remove in game all the player's items, move them on a temporary container, transfer all the items of that container to the player, open the craftin menu and craft, when you close it you will do the inverse - trasferring the items from the player back to the container, and taking the player's item from the temporary container back to the player.

[Deleted2746547User]

The code is the part I can't figure out either way. I have introduced 3 machines in the game that will basically serve to craft the recipes etc for the guns, equipment, etc I add with the mod. even if i were to only use that, I still cant' figure how to write the code to make it pull from a specific container....

Speaking of scripts... still can't get this one to work........ I've tried it 100 different ways. I've tried it with timers (from the code in this thread) and a number of other combinations. Either it doesn't show the SHOWMESSAGE, does nothing or fades to black but never executes the rest of the script.
