getting actor value within script

[OvertWizzard]

Hi All, I am relatively new to scripting for Oblivion, i am more akin to imperative languages such as c/c++/java etc. Anyway thats not the point of the post. In the script i am currently attempting to write i want to be able to change an NPCs disposition based on some + or - key press. I have no issue identifying that i am looking at an NPC i just cant perform functions on the npc such as getdisposition. Here is an example of what i am talking about:

 

float Fquestdelaytime

ref target

int type

int actorValue

begin GameMode

set Fquestdelaytime to 0.01

if(onkeydown 47)

set target to GetCrosshairRef

set type to target.GetObjectType

target.GetDisposition <-- throws the error "missing parameter Actor"

if(type == 35)

messagebox"NPC"

endif

endif

end

Some help would be appreciated as i am sure this is a simple fix but as i am new to this i do not yet know what it is.

Best,

Overt

Hid your redundant duplicate topic.

 

Hmm, I'm not sure, but this one looks like a rather simple problem for a change.

 

There is no such thing as a global disposition of an actor. Disposition always requires a target towards which it's aimed, such as the NPC's disposition towards the player, which is what I think you're asking for in this case here.

So the correct usage requires you to make it "target.GetDisposition player", for it to ever have any chance to work.

 

Here's the relevant function reference: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php?title=GetDisposition
