Rodolfo165 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 I basically would like to know how to make a dynamic texture (?) pretty much what i want to do is to be able to make some kind of a timer, where the number automatically changes based on a integer property on a script. something simillar to the gun mods that have an ammo counter attached to it, something similar but for static objects.
EmissaryOfWind Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/56203/? You might have to experiment with it a bit, since the engine has changed a bit since New Vegas, but it should be very similar.
Rodolfo165 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 Awesome! thats most probably what i need, will look into it, thanks so much!
DDProductions83 Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 You cannot control it other than inside the nif, so no controlling it via scripts unfortuantly
DDProductions83 Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Correction if you made it a nitransform controller and gave it specific gamebryo animation names you could do it my bad, ton of work though but possible
JuJooGuppy Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I know nothing (Call me Jon Snow, or a bastard, either works) about scripting, but what about the idea of using the script to switch between material swaps, since they are controlled in the .esp? Or is that completely out of the question?There is as mentioned the in- NIF option, something similar to the little number box thing that the workshop DLC added, that you click on to change the number. Because I am wanting to know more about scripting, i am guessing you (DDP) mean that if you set up the transforms in the nif with specific names, you could then use a script to reference / point to those? Is that accurate or am I Jon Snowing even more?

Is that accurate or am I Jon Snowing even more?More, you have to have a BIG texture IE one dds with diff textures then animate it so it swaps to a different part of the DDS on a gamebryo animation call. You cannot swap textures or materials with scripting (So far) FOSE might have that function but IIRC it did in skyrim and when executed could lead to some weird s#*!
