NPC Services

[KHCloud]

I have a couple of NPC Merchants set up in my settlement, 1 is a Gunsmith, the other is a Doctor.

 

I have them selling items but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to offer services :wallbash: . I've looked around but can't find any tutorials on it. I checked in DocMitchells Dialogue window to see how he offers medical help to the player, that just confused the hell outa me in there haha.

 

Anyway I want my Gunsmith to offer Weapon/Armor Repair and Guns Training

I want my Doctor to offer Medical Healing, Radiation Healing, Addiction Healing and Medical Training.

 

Any help on this would be much appreciated :biggrin:

ok thats easy, do you know how to set up dialogue ? the command is showrepairmenu more info located here http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/ShowRepairMenu

 

The doctor is just a few commands stringed together i think, so this command will work

SetActorValue Health <-- not sure about that though, have not done a doctor in a long time

more info here http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/SetActorValue and http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Stats_List

 

Training skills i think uses a very similar command

Thanks for the RepairMenu part

 

I'm still a bit confused about the Doctor side of things though, maybe I just need to study those links more :P

 

Also the Skills training :confused:

[lostone1993]

ok, I shall try to explain more clearly both the doctor and skills train have the same command SetActorValue you set what you want to change by the next for doctor it is Health to change the small gun skill you change health to SmallGuns and insert a value eg 100 so finalerly

 

player.SetActorValue Health 100 <--- restores the players health to 100 % (dont hold me to that though, need to refresh memmory)

 

player.SetActorValue SmallGuns <--- this set the players small gun skill to 100

 

Does this make it easier ?

[KHCloud]

I understood what you ment with the player.SetActorValue, I've seen these as this command as consol commands.

 

I don't understand where it fits or goes into the dialogue section to bring up the option in the chat with the NPC.

 

Sorry for my noobness but I'm new to making NPC's, most I've done before now is messed around making random dungeons that led to knowhere, just like my modding I guess :P. But I finally want to learn how to do more that just make maps in the GECK, gettin there slowly :)

[lostone1993]

hmm, so you dont know npc dialogue i can help with that also :), what exactly do you know about ? just so i know where to start

[KHCloud]

Mainly I followed the tutorial HERE on geck.bethsoft.com

 

Currently I now have a Gunsmith who sells guns and ammo and also repairs weapons/armor (thanks much to you for that XD ). although is it possible to have him only repair guns, then I can have an armor smith who only sells and repairs armor, not sure on this tohugh since its one menu :rolleyes:

 

I also have a doctor who sells medical supplies and now offers services to heal Radiation, Health and Addiction. I got this from going to DocMitchels Dialogue and taking my time to become less confused by the mass of stuff in there, finally I got a little graps on the parts where he offers the services, copied them to my medic and changed the words, also changed all the GetIsID'd

 

Next thing for me to do is learn how to get them to train the player in skills (Guns and Medical), the same as skill books only at a cost, maybe have multiple levels of the training at a higher cost.

Have an NPC that teaches the player Power Armor Training, at a cost, (but I haven't even tried this myself yet, could prob copy it from another NPC lol)

And finally to add in random dialogues about my settlement and random stuff to bring the NPC's to life, but I think I can figure that out just by taking my time on it.

you might want to check out the hd00infirmary-(or was that hdinfirmary00, something like that anyhow)-script, it's all in there (the whole medical stuff i mean) :-)

[lostone1993]

well training skills is a bit fiddly but still just as easy as the doctor, as for repairing sorry, cant do it without heavy scripting though it is possible

[KHCloud]

@lostone- I'll stay clear of scripts at the moment, but thats not a big issue. maybe something I'll add later. I'll look at other NPC's that provide training and go from there, Thanks for your help :)

 

@stevie - I'll look into that, but I got what I needed from copying DocMitchell. I'll look in there though, maybe it'll provide something the Doc didn't :P, Thanks :)
