H1ms3lf Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Hello! :smile:Already modded for Baldurs Gate but it was piece of cake compared to this... trying to learn GECK for FO3/NV, some things are easy to grasp but others, even simple, elude me...So I humbly request some help =]For example, when Wally Mack turns his GOAT exam to Mr. Brotch and Says "I'm Finished. Here."I'm trying to make it so that Wally turns to exit the room and take a couple steps while Mr. B asks him if he doesn't wanna know the result, at wich point he turns back to Mr. B and replies his last line, to then run his leave room package.So first I went to the dialogue and flagged Wally line as a goodbye, now I assume I have to create a marker to tell Wally where he should move to, and set a variable that tells he should move there after delivering the test...Meanwhile I have to tell Mr. B to talk to Wally while he moves, I assume the same variable I set to make Wally move can be used to tell Mr. B to talk.Problems: I can't seem to create a variable, I tried to create one by inserting in the boxes here, but GECK gave me a can't compile, also tried to insert short WallyKnows into his script, again didn't seem to matter...I likely need a variable that shows up in the "condition function" and "function parameters" of the second image, and set it to my marker??A bit lost here xDCan somebody give me a clue? Thanks very much! Edited May 5, 2017 by H1ms3lf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mktavish Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 WoW I luved Baldurs gate ... didn't try to mod it though. My modding was StarCraft , Dungeon Seige , Nova Logic Blackhawk down ... and now Fallout 3 , branching into NV. I see you are trying to mod the vault intro ... which by most peoples experience ... has it's own list of troublesome occurence compared to the rest of the game. So I would suggest ... don't bother ... or at least duplicate the cells and recreate the action. Ya that would definitely not be the first place to try to start modding this game. But it sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the process. IMO compared to the games I mentioned ... this is the best tool for modding I have used ... it truly is a wonder of possibility.

H1ms3lf Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hmmm.. likely the problem is not the pre-game (CG 0 to 4?) but my lack of knowledge with the proceedings, I was able to make him move to a new marker, but not ending the dialog earlier and picking it up from that point :(Guess I need someone good with scripting and creature behavior to tutor me a bit =X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try another section outside that vault ... see if it works better ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mktavish Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 But wait ... you should create a new file ... just leave that one on the back burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mktavish Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 And I guess I should mention ... since you are seemingly trying to change the original writers content.That as far as I know is not usually done. Most people try to add content outside of that. Since the world is a free for all pretty much.What the original writers did , was probably done with extracurricular coding that we using the geck don't have access too.Not that it isn't possible in some places without incident. But interjecting stuff into the original plan of render ... can of course cause problems. I'm assuming you have played the game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1ms3lf Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) I'm assuming you have played the game ? Lol yes! This extracurricular coding thing is news to me, thanks! But even outside of the begin, there are things that I would like to do but have no clue as to how, like for example forcing the game to enter into VATS right after a menu choice, I don't remember any portion of the game that actually does an auto-VATS for me to check how it was done :sad: Edited May 5, 2017 by H1ms3lf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhmattbravo Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) I think you're looking for getquestvariable. http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=GetQuestVariable Not sure about forcing vats though. You'd probably need this: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=GetVATSMode And this (which needs FOSE): http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=TapControl Edited May 5, 2017 by uhmattbravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mktavish Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Problems: I can't seem to create a variable, I tried to create one by inserting in the boxes here, but GECK gave me a can't compile You can not create a variable within a script result. It must be a full on Script Name that owns its own Form-ID Sorry it took me till now to see it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1ms3lf Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) You can not create a variable within a script result. It must be a full on Script Name that owns its own Form-ID Heh thanks!
