Help with a trainer script

[Macgyver1958]

I'm trying to make a NPC that is capable of training you in more than one skill. For this example, we'll call him "SwordTrainer" who can train you in both one and two handed weapons. I've added him to both JobTrainerOnehanedFaction and JobTrainerTwohandedFaction. I created a dialogue for him that gives both options "Can you train me in Two handed Weapons?" and "Can you train me in One Handed Weapons." The script that is activated with these responses is:

 

;BEGIN FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the end comment

;NEXT FRAGMENT INDEX 1

Scriptname TIF__000E3A47 Extends TopicInfo Hidden

 

;BEGIN FRAGMENT Fragment_0

Function Fragment_0(ObjectReference akSpeakerRef)

Actor akSpeaker = akSpeakerRef as Actor

;BEGIN CODE

Game.ShowTrainingMenu(akSpeaker)

;END CODE

EndFunction

;END FRAGMENT

 

;END FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the begin comment

 

 

I'm super new to scripting, so I'm trying to figure out where the script gets it's information on what skill training menu to display. I'm assuming it's from the "class" of the character. I'm wondering if it's possible to modify the script and specify a specific training menu....like "Game.ShowTrainingMenu(OneHandedMaster).

 

Any help would be appreciated.

According to the Wiki, the syntax for the command is

Function ShowTrainingMenu(Actor aActor) native global

 

I've been trying to specify a specific Actor like : game.ShowTrainingMenu(Vilkas), but it doesn't like that. Can anyone help me with the syntax of this command?

Were you using a property? Perhaps this will help - EditorIDs in Papyrus

I'm not really sure, I'm just learning Papyrus. The problem is the only resource on it is the Creationkit.com site. Unfortunately, it was written by a programmer, and not a technical writer. While I'm sure the author thought it made perfect sense, It's quite confusing to a non-programmer. In many cases the author just assumes you already know about something, and doesn't bother to explain each detail...and if there's a part you don't understand, you're screwed. Hopefully someone else in the near future will come out with a scripting tutorial that brings things down to level the audience (gamers) can understand.

www.creationkit.com is a wiki. It was originally written (and used) by Skyrim's developers during the development of Skyrim, and is now available to be edited by the public. If you think something on there is unclear, you'd be welcome to raise it on that article's talk page, or to re-word the unclear bit if you're feeling confident.
