Free for Use - Book Return Terminal for Crafting

[caleb68]

So I put together a book return terminal that can be crafted, but won't be using it in my mod (as it doesn't fit in with anything im doing) So I thought I would toss it up here for anyone else to use if they want to.

 

As it sits, its a working mod, you can find the craftable terminal in the same place as the workshop terminal

 

This uses several things to make it work properly.

 

• There is a formlist that contains all the possible prizes the terminal can have in it
• There is a quest used for storing the names of the active terminal, cost of items, and current quanity so it can update this information while one is using the terminal.
• There are 4 terminals that the terminal uses for it to function, the main terminal, and 3 sub terminals.
• The mesh for the terminal has been redone - rather then using a static and a terminal, it uses a single mesh as the terminal but still looks like the book return terminal, the only difference - the flip panel on the book return machine itself doesn't flip when activating.
• there is a cell that contains a invisible chest, this chest is used for storing the base prizes the terminals currently have in stock, the items for the terminals get replaced when the terminal refreshes its inventory (default 5 days)

The zip file contains all the files needed, the terminal model, Compiled Scripts, Source Scripts, and the esp.

 

All the items for the book return terminal start with 0BR including the cell it uses for the prize container, so finding the items in CK wouldn't be hard.

 

The script used for the terminal is a modified version of the book return terminal, rather then using multiple item spawning dummies, it uses a formlist and a single chest for containing the items, this was also done this way so every book return terminal could have unique items in it and keep the objects spawned into the world to a minimal. If I used the default book return terminal 6-12 objects per book return terminal would have to be spawned in and linked together (depending on the number of prizes the terminal offered), this way your spawning 1 terminal, and moving all the prizes into a single control chest.

 

I'm sure the scripting for it can be optimized I was mainly looking at functionality when I created this, but how it works right now it is a functional, craftable terminal.

 

Feel free to modify, use in whole or part any part of this, like I said, I desided to remove it from my mod as it really doesn't fit in with anything else in it, and thought someone else may have a use for it.
