[LE] Bleeding out when knocked down - help with a script

[dailyplanet]

Hi everyone,

 

I've been working on a mod, that makes player essential and everything works perfectly fine until player dies when being knocked down. Normally, when player enters bleedout mode, he would bleed out for a few seconds and the would be teleported to a different location. But when he dies from i.e. unrelenting force or other attack which cause a player to be knocked down, he would stuck in some strange loop, being teleported to the same spot over and over(still lying on the floor unconscious), until finally would be transferred to correct location.

 

Here is the script fragment(more or less):

 

Game.DisablePlayerControls()
PlayerRef.SetNoBleedoutRecovery(True)
Utility.Wait(3.0)
PlayerRef.RemoveAllItems(Container, True, True)
Utility.wait(1.0)
FadeOut.Apply()
FadeOut.PopTo(FadeHold)


PlayerRef.SetNoBleedoutRecovery(False)
GetActorReference().ResetHealthAndLimbs()
MoveToLocation()
FadeHold.PopTo(FadeIn)
Game.EnablePlayerControls()

 

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

If you have a fragment, so you have a quest. Next player alias script could be helpful to manage the issue you have with shouts. It is not completed, just a base to see what is happen with the player.

Maybe some shout trigger a special animation, you could catch that by using OnAnimationEvent() in the next script, but such animations have to be register before.

Wow, that looks compliacated :D (I'm kind of new to scripting maybe that's why).

The problem happens between "GetActorReference().ResetHealthAndLimbs()" and "MoveToLocation()". It's like the script can't trigger function "MoveToLocation()" when player is lying down unconscious. I tried to use different functions instead of ResetHealthAndLimbs(), but nothing I tried worked.

 

EDIT. After further testing it turns out it doesn't happen everytime. My guess is, the problem occures when player is taking damage while knocked down, but I'm not sure.

Your first posting contains that:

PlayerRef.SetNoBleedoutRecovery(False)
GetActorReference().ResetHealthAndLimbs()
MoveToLocation()

You did not provide enough information for me, to catch the troublemaker. Nevertheless it is very strange..

 

Let us assume playerRef is of type actor and contains the result of Game.GetPlayer().

 

Next line has self.GetActorReference(), which means the current script extends to ReferenceAlias. If that is TRUE and the script (you posted fragment here) is a player alias then self.GetActorReference() is the same as playerRef.

 

Last line MoveToLocation() is the same as self.MoveToLocation(), but this cannot work except it is a script internal function you have made.

 

Native functions are:

- MoveTo_-_ObjectReference

use that:

PlayerRef.SetNoBleedoutRecovery(False)
PlayerRef.ResetHealthAndLimbs()
PlayerRef.MoveTo(mRef)           ; mRef is a Xmarker where the player should be moved

these functions does not work for the player almost:

- MoveToIfUnloaded_-_ObjectReference player cannot unload, except player has died and then game reloads

- MoveToMyEditorLocation_-_ObjectReference player does not have an editor location

- MoveToPackageLocation_-_Actor maybe that could work, if player has a special package which is working in a specific location only

MoveToLocation() is a function I made. It looks like that:

Function MoveToLocation()
If (Whiterun.IsChild(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation())) || (WhiterunHold.IsChild(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation())) || (Morthal.IsChild(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation())) || (HjaalmarchHold.IsChild(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation()))
PlayerRef.MoveTo(Reborn)
ElseIf (Solitude.IsChild(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation())) || (HaafingarHold.IsChild(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation()))
PlayerRef.MoveTo(RebornHaaf)
ElseIf (Markarth.IsChild(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation())) || (ReachHold.IsChild(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation()))
PlayerRef.MoveTo(RebornReach)

and so on.

 

I replaced all GetActorReference() and Game.GetPlayer() with PlayerRef, but the problem still persist. The situation when it happens is like a player keep dying after PlayerRef.ResetHealthAndLimbs(), so the script starts all over again before MoveToLocation() can even trigger, or because of that it fails to trigger.

It would save me a lot of time, if I got the info much earlier. Do you know location can be None as result of Game.GetPlayer().GetCurrentLocation()?

You have to cover that like the next functions, maybe it solves your issue.

I should probably mention that last few lines of MoveToLocation() are:

Else
PlayerRef.MoveTo(Reborn)
EndIf
EndFunction

I'm sorry, I'm really new to scripting so I'm not sure what is important, and what is not.

A way to check for multiple firings is to stick a global bool variable in your script, and use it as a flag to prevent multiple executions. Set it to false in the global declaration, set it to true at the beginning of your (rather long in realtime) respawn functions, set it to false after they complete.

 

EDIT:

If you want to get a count of the number of fires, you can also have an integer you increment (which can itself serve as the flag, but you'd lose the data on resetting on completion if you do that).

I guess I need to make some more reading on scripting, because I can't make too much of what you two just said :D I will try to modify my script and see how it works. Thanks for advices.
