Revive the Lightbox Color Cycle !

[Kingcato]

As some of you might know, the Lightboxes once had a Cycle Color function you could access through the console. (Seen in a Trailer,- Pre Release)

I dont know why Bethesda disabled this function for the Release..

 

The Terminals and Actor Values are still in the .esm. The Sub-Menu's were just removed from the Root-Menu.

So i included the Sub-Menu again and it works so far. Well as far as ActorValues go...

I can choose the Interval type [Random],[sequential],[None] and the timings from 1 to 10 second.

 

Checking AVIF ingame "WorkshopLightboxCycling [AVIF:00210B6F]" and "WorkshopLightboxCyclingType [AVIF:00210C75]" are correctly set by the Terminal.

BUT, without effect. The Lightbox just doesnt seem to care about those two AVIF's.

 

Somebody got an Idea why?

This may be a silly question, but might it have something to do with perks? I don't have the max perks for Hacking or Science! (for instance), so maybe the additional functionality is unlocked in the terminals when you do?

 

I imagine you already checked that, but figured I'd suggest it in case you hadn't. :)

lol no. Bethestda truly deleted this function from the game. Maybe it was to heavy for consoles .. ^^

 

Actualy i think i found it. I used a newer Decompiler for the script and realazied that the 'StartCycling' Function is empty. (right at the beginning)

function StartCycling(Bool bStart)
	; Empty function
endFunction

function SetCyclingType(Int cyclingType)
	self.SetValue(WorkshopLightboxCyclingType, cyclingType as Float)
	if (cyclingType == 0)
		self.StartCycling(false)
	else
		self.StartCycling(true)
	endif
endFunction

String function GetAnimString(Int iColor, Int iBrightness)
	if (iColor < 0 || iColor >= LightColors.length || iBrightness < 0 || iBrightness >= LightBrightness.length)
		return "None"
	else
		return LightColors[iColor] + LightBrightness[iBrightness]
	endif
endFunction

function OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
	if (akActionRef is actor)
		self.CycleToNextColor()
	endif
endFunction

function SetColor(Int iColor, Int iBrightness, Bool bStopCycling)
	if (iColor == -1)
		iColor = self.GetValue(WorkshopTerminalLightColor) as Int
	endif
	if (iBrightness == -1)
		iBrightness = self.GetValue(WorkshopTerminalLightBrightness) as Int
	endif
	if (bStopCycling)
		self.SetCyclingType(0)
	endif
	String animString = self.GetAnimString(iColor, iBrightness)
	if (animString)
		self.SetValue(WorkshopTerminalLightColor, iColor as Float)
		self.SetValue(WorkshopTerminalLightBrightness, iBrightness as Float)
		self.PlayAnimation(animString)
	endif
endFunction

function SetCyclingTime(Float cyclingTime)
	if (cyclingTime <= 0.000000)
		self.SetValue(WorkshopLightboxCycling, 0.000000)
		self.StartCycling(false)
	else
		self.SetValue(WorkshopLightboxCycling, cyclingTime)
		self.StartCycling(true)
	endif
endFunction

function CycleToNextColor()
	Int iCurrentColor = self.GetValue(WorkshopTerminalLightColor) as Int
	Int iCurrentBrightness = self.GetValue(WorkshopTerminalLightBrightness) as Int
	iCurrentBrightness += 1
	if (iCurrentBrightness >= LightBrightness.length)
		iCurrentBrightness = 0
		iCurrentColor += 1
		if (iCurrentColor >= LightColors.length)
			iCurrentColor = 0
		endif
	endif
	self.SetColor(iCurrentColor, iCurrentBrightness, false)
endFunction

Thank you Orvid for your Decompiler: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3742/?

I can finaly sleep now ^^
