3 can you do this Mod questions

EARLY EARLY Version: V.01 Blackbriar

HELP ALWAYS APPRECIATED

[Deleted2746547User]

If you're around, I could use your help! I picked the mod back up after losing a lot of work on it. I know we had the power/lighting scripts working but for some reason they wont now...and I cant remember what we fixed or changed to make it work last time....

 

i'm not that good at quests yet (just started modding two months and something ago), so i try to avoid them whereever i can (yet)... hehe... ;-)

 

You already know how to do it, you just don't know you do :)

 

A quest script is just like a persistent object, with its' own built in timer.

So in the script above where you said to increase YourTerminalREF.Fuel, that just changes to BaseEnergyQuest.fuel

and the gamemode block in the quest script will run every 5 secs by default (and easy to change).

See! nothing to it :) You don't *need* to define any stages/dialog etc.

 

@namaskar, glad you like it :)

 

If you've not already seen them, check out the default set of containers. They may save you creating your own.

They're in the Palette Editor files - using the P.E. makes designing and placement much easier.

But yes, if you want to assign some stating defaults, creating your own crates is the way to go :thumbsup:

See the container_weights.txt file. That shows the weight to assign to your container base form, for the corresponding category(s).

It's a good idea to have a clean save (meaning before you installed your mod), outside of your cell.

Each time you want to test it, load the clean save, enter and activate any of the containers.

As you do this there'll be a message printed to console summarising the designer defaults - so it's easy to check that it is setup how you think it should be.

 

 

Anyway, that's the thinking... a lot to do...and 'm no expert at scripting so it will be a long road... but thats the goal. Any and all help/cooperation/suggestions will be appreciated.

Apart from the camera part (I wouldn't know where to start that), I think they're all achievable.

Still having a problem getting these scripts working again. (they were working before I lost some updates to the script_)

 

Can't figure out WHAT I'm missing....

 

 

This is the 3 scripts that will run the lights/fuel at the base as part of a quest. for those that are good with coding, I had this system working perfectly BEFORE I lost my main files and had to start back with an earlier version. However, now I can find the error that is keeping the system from working.

 

Perhaps someone can find the error I'm making (or by looking into the esp)...
