Trying to add a perk to armor.

[EvilDeadAsh34]

I'm want to attach the Terrifying Presence perk to a helmet and i'm not succeeding. So that it's basically and equipable perk, Is this even possible? It looks like it should be but it just doesn't work. I tried adding it to my helmets enchantments template and then i talked to a person (the ranger near Nelson) who was affected by that perk and... nothing. Should i abandon this?

Begin OnEquip player
player.addperk TerrifyingPresence
End

 

Now if you want the perk to be removed after unequipping the armor, create a new perk with the same effect as Terrifying Presence - basically you change the ID to duplicate it - and attach this script to the armor:

 

Begin OnEquip player
player.addperk PERK_ID
End
Begin OnUnequip player
player.removeperk PERK_ID
End

EDIT: But I am not sure that this second one will actually work with dialogues...

 

So maybe another script should be done:

 

Make a quest with this script. Quest must be enabled by default.

 

scn YOURSCRIPTNAME

short PlayerPerk ; 1 = player already the perk via levelling
short HelmetPerk ; 1 = player has perk via the helmet

Begin Gamemode
if player.hasperk terrifyingpresence && HelmetPerk == 0
set PlayerPerk to 1
endif
End

 

Then this script attached to your armor/helmet:

 

Begin OnEquip player
if NAMEOFTHEQUEST.PlayerPerk == 0
player.addperk PERK_ID
set NAMEOFTHEQUEST.HelmetPerk to 1
End

Begin OnUnequip player
if NAMEOFTHEQUEST.HelmetPerk == 1
player.removeperk PERK_ID
endif
End

Not sure it will work though. You may have to add some conditions in order to work properly...

Awesome. One question though. Is this completely achievable in GECK? I'm sorry i'm asking but sometimes my idiocy knows no bounds. That, and i'm not familiar with scripting yet. :)

Yes, all this stuff must be done with GECK and only GECK ;)

I hope I understood your question, my native language is French...

Yes, you understood perfectly. Thank you for the help :)

I found this post searching for a similar answer and am wondering if anyone is still keeping tabs on it to reply. I just started using GECK recently but have been playing Fallout for years so I'm familiar with using console commands to unbug quests and buff characters, etc...

 

 

My question is, how do I "tag" a script to an item?

 

I would like equipping an armor to run the console command player.setscale 2, and then unequipping the armor to run player.setscale 1

 

I'm not a fan of setscale but it's for a mod that I'm developing for replay value basically, where the character is quickly transformed into a superhero of sorts.

 

The script I have written so far is this,

 

scn TestScript1

Begin OnEquip player

player.setscale 2

End

Begin OnUnequip player

player.setscale 1

End

 

I'd like to link this to Armor1

 

Should I instead write,

Begin OnEquip Armor1

player... etc?

 

Or can I use a script effect on the armor's object effect and link to this script through one of the condition functions?

 

Or do I have to use script extender?

 

Thanks.

It's right there. Open it in GECK and you'll see a big "Script" dropbox right under Name.

Use the first version.

 

Except, let me upgrade it:

 

scn th3t3rr1bl30n3Script1
float oldscale
Begin OnEquip player
   set oldscale to player.getscale
   player.setscale 2
End
Begin OnUnequip player
   player.setscale oldscale
End

 

You could even go further:

 

scn th3t3rr1bl30n3Script1
float oldscale
float newscale
float ratio
short button

Begin OnEquip player
   ShowMessage th3SuperheroMessage
; here you could include a menu to select the scale
   set ratio to 1.5
   set oldscale to player.getscale
   set newscale to oldscale*ratio
   player.setscale newscale
End

Begin OnUnequip player
   player.setscale oldscale
End

I wouldn't recommend using a scale of 2, it's too monstrous, 1.5 or so should be better, fewer problems with not fitting through arches and such, and it's still huge. Your choice of course.
