Changing a static from one to another based on conditions.

Absolutely, do you want a Dropbox link or on the nexus? I won't be able to post it till later this evening. Though your walls of texts have been awesome and I have learned a lot and it is appreciated

[sLoPpYdOtBiGhOlE]

Any link I can dl from that doesn't require an account or make me drop my security to much is fine, preferably not mega (despise that site and it's overdose background scripting and flash crap) or sites that require flash and heaving scripting enabled.

 

Bottom line is I block everything and if I gotta lift those blocks then I end up with bandwidth chewed just for some third party advertising company to spam me crap I don't want and will never click.

 

1GB a month bandwidth is not easy to exist on, specially when I was use to chewing around 200GB+ a calender month at my old house.

wow yea i cant imagine living on 1 gb a month. geez. well i compressed the file to just under 3 mb so you should be good and AFAIK drop box dosent do all those ads etc. The cell name is armorytestcell and ive included the meshes and textures. When you make the activator (if need be, but should already be set to go) for the empty one youll have to do new activator and point it at the nif and the dds files. for some reason it was giving me path errors when i dragged and dropped. not sure why.

Thanks, grabbed it.

Will set up a brief example esp.

Then you can dissect it and ask questions if needed.

 

I like dropbox didn't even need to drop a single setting, nice when sites are that easy :)

 

BBL with an example esp.

[sLoPpYdOtBiGhOlE]

Well, I've got it working. Just refining it to look smoother. Post example shortly.

 

Edit:

Here you go.

Used 2 scripts.

Activator script:

Scriptname ArmorStandScript Extends ObjectReference

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
    GetLinkedRef().Activate(akActionRef)
EndEvent

 

 

 

Chest Script:

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Scriptname ArmorStandChestScript Extends ObjectReference

Keyword[] Property MaterialsArmor Auto
{2 index array of Material keywords that the armor has, index 0 Keyword is MaterialsArmorNone (Empty), index 1 is the material keyword the armor has}

Keyword[] Property PartsArmor Auto
{Array of required keyword parts to make the complete set of armor}

ObjectReference[] ArmorStand

Event OnInit()
    ArmorStand = New ObjectReference[2]
    ArmorStand[0] = GetLinkedRef(MaterialsArmor[0])
    ArmorStand[1] = GetLinkedRef(MaterialsArmor[1])

    ;If your wanting custom armor that is only made from certain or unique keyword parts then remove this and fill the property in CK as needed.
    PartsArmor = New Keyword[5]
    PartsArmor[0] = Keyword.GetKeyword("ArmorBoots")
    PartsArmor[1] = Keyword.GetKeyword("ArmorCuirass")
    PartsArmor[2] = Keyword.GetKeyword("ArmorGauntlets")
    PartsArmor[3] = Keyword.GetKeyword("ArmorHelmet")
    PartsArmor[4] = Keyword.GetKeyword("ArmorShield")
EndEvent

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
    Utility.Wait(0.25)
    CheckArmor()
EndEvent

Event OnItemAdded(Form akBaseItem, int aiItemCount, ObjectReference akItemReference, ObjectReference akSourceContainer)
    If akBaseItem.HasKeyword(MaterialsArmor[1])
        Int i = PartsArmor.Length
        While i
            i -= 1
            If akBaseItem.HasKeyword(PartsArmor[i]) && GetItemCount(PartsArmor[i]) > 1
                RemoveItem(akBaseItem, aiItemCount, True, akSourceContainer)
                i = 0
            EndIf
        EndWhile
    Else
        RemoveItem(akBaseItem, aiItemCount, True, akSourceContainer)
    EndIf
EndEvent

Function CheckArmor()
    Int i = PartsArmor.Length
    Int j = GetNumItems()
    If j < i
        If ArmorStand[0].IsDisabled()
            ArmorStand[0].Enable()
            ArmorStand[1].Disable(True)
        EndIf
    Else
        If ArmorStand[1].IsDisabled()
            ArmorStand[1].Enable(True)
            ArmorStand[0].Disable(True)
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunction

 

 

 

Load the esp with it's included files.

(textures have been stepped on and directory, name and nif texture paths has been changed for this example).

2048 res textures for a stand, considering my vanilla daedric armor models are using 512 res textures.

I'll take the textures under 300kb as opposed to over 3MB...lol

(TBH 2048 to 512 on my crappy screen makes no dif to quality unless your trying to cover large areas.

As long as UV maps have utilized the texture space, then for my needs and crapolla hardware 512 is fine).

 

Go to Whiterun Bannered Mare and you can try the Armor Stand out.

No need to bring armor with you as the example will add Daedric armor to your inventory to save you mucking around.

To see the forms I've added to the esp:

Object Window -> All

Use the word ArmorStand as the filter.

(The quest form is not needed, it was just so I could add daedric armor to the player via Alias inventory, the quest serves no other purpose).

Anything added by the mod starts with the word ArmorStand, including the scripts, models and textures.

Only exception to that is the ArmorMaterialNone keyword (for the empty Armor Stand)

I dumped the ArmorStandChest in aaamarkers cell as i couldn't see the point of me creating a new cell just for a simple example.

awesome. im gonna give this a go asap!

[Dbrock1980]

just set up a stand in my mod after looking at what youve done. success!! its going to be a pain but i should get the hang of it after a bit. i have 15 or so more to go. each one will have its own chest and empty armorstand as well. i cant thank you enough for helping me with this! a million internet bucks for you! hell, id take you out for a beer if i could lol

[sLoPpYdOtBiGhOlE]

Yep tedious to set up, like most things in skyrim...lol.

 

I'll have a schooner of VB and B&C chaser for the other hand thanks :smile:

Glad you got it sorted.

I think im done with linking everything and setting up the scripts, would you want to test it? im not even sure im packaging it right for the nexus. i just added all the nifs and scripts and textures i was using.

[Dbrock1980]

it seems the dark brotherhood and nightingale armors dont work. Their keyword is not a armormaterial type, just armordarkbrotherhood and same with the nightingale. drats. Odd i cant get thieves guild armor to work either though that is a armormaterial thinggy.

 

now to get those to work, i saw in your script there is 2 options on the left pane. one for materials and one for parts.

if i changed something in the parts part of the script what would i set it as? not really sure i follow how do make these work (also have a mage one that has just a robe,boots and hood) if its way over the top complicated then forget it lol.
