LE [Papyrus] Need Some Help with the scripting

[idioticidiot]

Hello,

My aim was to force a follower to summon another character when her health had dropped below 20% during combat.

But now it has 2 problems:

1) it does not play the shout animation;

2) every time she is hit, she summons the character over and over again.

 

Is there any way to 1) force the shout animation playing; and 2) stop recasting the spell when the spell is active (say the spell is effective for 50 seconds. During that 50 seconds, the spell won't be recasted every time the follower is hit)?

 

Thank you in advance.

voicecallsofia.Cast(self.GetTargetActor() as ObjectReference, none)

I may be a bit scrappy wth my scripting knowhow- but shouldnt the OnHit be an Event?

 

Event OnHit(.......)

do the stuff you mentioned

endEvent

 

From what you are showing there, I see no reason why the spell would keep casting, unless the function is being called lots of times.. which may also be breaking the animation.

OnHit is an event. Look at the wispmothersuperior script for an example of this.

Thanks for the help, but still, every time the follower is hit, the follower automatically summons the character again and again. What have I missed?

[Akreontage]

;-- Properties --------------------------------------

bool b

 

Event OnInit()

b = true

EndEvent

 

............................

Event OnHit(ObjectReference akAggressor, Form akSource, Projectile akProjectile, Bool abPowerAttack, Bool abSneakAttack, Bool abBashAttack, Bool abHitBlocked)

PercentHealth = self.GetTargetActor().GetAVPercentage("Health")

if (PercentHealth < 0.200000 && b)

Debug.SendAnimationEvent (Caster as ObjectReference, "Shout Start")

voicecallsofia.Cast(self.GetTargetActor() as ObjectReference, none)

b = false

endIf

EndEvent

Use something like that and change boolean b to true again for example when health reaches 100%.

Are you sure that the bool doesn't get dropped on the next OnHit event?

 

What you could do is:

 

Create a dummy magic effect named mgef_spellalreadycast

Create a dummy spell named spell_spellalreadycast with your mgef_spellalreadycast with a duration of 50seconds.

 

OnHit, if the follower has no mgef_spellalreadycast effect active you let the follower cast its summoning spell and the spell_spellalreadycast on self.

Sorry for my ignorance. Now the script returns the following error: "HasMagicEffect is not a function or does not exist". What have I missed? Event oneffectstart ?

Do I need to use wait utility.wait to force a cool down time?

I'm not totally sure but you're trying to use .HasMagicEffect() on caster wich is defined as objectreference. You need to use an Actor like Game.GetPlayer() or in this case self.GetTargetActor() if I'm not mistaken.

https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=HasMagicEffect_-_Actor

 

Try:

if !(self.GetTargetActor().HasMagicEffect(voicecalleffectcastalready))

And don't forget to deploy the magiceffect on your follower after the shout.
