Can anyone help me with making a working force field in the Geck? I'm new to it so I have no idea how.

there are geck-items they're basically just pieced together from.

can't quite remember the names though, some enclave-(or ecv ...)-andsomething names i think

pretty sure enclave anyhow

I have the parts, but I don't know how to make it able to be deactivated through a terminal.

Have you tried

 

REF.disable

REF.MarkForDelete

 

Seems like that should disable rendering of the reference object and then delete it, but would keep you from re-enabling it if you were trying to do that. I'm new at this and haven't tried it myself, but since no one else has offered anything I figure I'd give it a shot.

 

You could try REF.disable to shut off and REF.enable to turn it back on, but based on the description of the command I don't think it actually removes it but just blocks renders and 'using' the reference and you would probably still collide with it.

Edit: I assume you don't need help with making the actual terminal right? All this stuff would just go in the result script boxes.

 

Oh and another thing you might be able to try is placing xheadingmarkers at the spot where the force field is supposed to be, and somewhere outside the area and use the ref.moveto command to move the field back and forth between the two markers. Might be a pain though to get the marker in the exact spot that you need it.

Thanks! I got it to work!

 

instructions (In case anyone needs any help):

 

First, put two force field pylons down and then two force field glow activators (Ex. VHDForceFieldRightGlow02). Move them into position.

Rename the two force field glow activators what you want in the Reference Editor ID space for later use, something like "ForceField1" and "ForceField2". Add another activator, but a force field impact one (Example: ForceFieldRightImpact02). Place it on your force field and name it something short and simple like the other activators in the Reference Editor ID space like "ForceFieldImpact". Place a sound object called 'OBJForceFieldIdleLP' on the force field and make the Reference Editor ID something like "ForceFieldSound". Place a terminal and change the ID to something like "ForceFieldTerminal01". Make sure it's close to the forcefield. Open up the terminal properties and make and go just below the server type (the top of the menu items) Right click and click new. Write something like "Disable Force Field" in the Item Text and something like "Force Field Disabled" in the Result Text. In the Item Result Script box write:

 

ForceField1.playgroup backward 0

ForceField2.playgroup backward 0

ForceFieldSound.disable

ForceFieldImpact.disable

 

Now you should have a working forcefield!

Figured it out :smile:

Bbut why is the playgroup backward 0 there?No sure what it shall do i just used .disable since i dont know how to bring it back with those commands...

 

I have it now :

 

ForceField1.disable
ForceField2.disable
ForceFieldSoundL.disable
ForceFieldSoundR.disable
ForceFieldImpact.disable
FFelarch01.disable
FFElArch02.Disable
ForceTerminalBack

 

Also having other menu with .enable all of em back on .. can figure out if's to make it work just for one Item Text/Switch

and how to make OBJForceFieldDeactivate play only once .. even if i have no looping choosen it plays whole time since its activated :/

 

And how please make the Force Field not bee available for "use" in game?Having the same problem with overseer desk that is opening by switch but can bee opened just by "use" the Desk aswell .. have too get rid of it somehow :)

 

Thanks For any advice ... appreciate :)
