fg109 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 There's no problem with using COC to get into the cell. And yes, I'm saying that if I fail to pick the lock, I'd just COC out of there, or use TCL to go through the door maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinderionsBones Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) The big question, I think that would help fg109 out too, is are you *really* not supposed to leave the cell? but if he catches you out of the cell it sets the relations ships back to bandit=badguy. or is he just not supposed to *see* you leave? There are tons of solutions for simply not allowing the player to leave and/or detecting he's left. If that's your intention fg109's idea sounds pretty foolproof. @fg109 aww, but then they'd be BAD Rp'er lol I'd assume that's why they got such a mod in the first place >.< Edited March 13, 2012 by SinderionsBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ual002 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Ok so I just realized I was willfully unprepared for triggers. I've got the defaultactivateselfTRIG in place in the jailcell (Not even sure if I should use that trigger), but I have no idea where to do the editing. Is there an advanced tutorial on triggers? All I can find tutorials on are ambushes. Does someone wanna walk me through it? EDIT: THIS IS MY GOAL. So, there are 3 lockpicks under a bucket. If you fail to get out with those, the guard is SUPPOSED TO be wandering around and get close to the bars for you to pickpocket the key. The trigger area is for keeping him docile to keep him from going hostile and agro-ing to you when you wander around the cell. If you finally get out and leave the trigger area, the guard once again becomes hostile (However you would do that) and attacks you like he would anywhere else in the world. Then the trigger cleans up and goes by by. Does that help? -Cheers http://i.imgur.com/6piLZ.jpg Edited March 13, 2012 by ual002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fg109 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Do you see that button that looks like a cube with a T on it? It's under and slightly to the right of the Help menu. That button allows you to create trigger zones. But I think using the defaultActivateSelfTrigger would work too. Now you have to edit the trigger. The window you have open has a lot more tabs to it, you just have to click on the little arrows. Keep clicking the right arrow until you get to the last tab, "Scripts". Remove the default script and choose to create a new script. Use something like this: scriptname MyTriggerScript extends objectreference Faction property BanditFaction auto ;declare a Faction property Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef) ;this event is received when something enters the trigger zone if (akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()) ;check to see if whatever entered is the player akActionRef.AddToFaction(BanditFaction) ;add the player to BanditFaction endif EndEvent Event OnTriggerLeave(ObjectReference akActionRef) ;this event is received when something leaves the trigger zone if (akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()) ;check to see if whatever left is the player akActionRef.RemoveFromFaction(BanditFaction) ;remove the player from BanditFaction Disable() ;disable itself so the player doesn't get added to faction again if he/she returns endif EndEvent I don't know if you want to script the door as well. If you do, then remember to disable the trigger zone if the door gets picked open as well. EDIT: Oh yeah, after you save the script, remember to set what faction goes into the faction property.

ual002 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Badass, I'll report my findings after a bit of BF3. ;) EDIT: 1. AddToFaction is not a function or does not exist RemoveFromFaction is not a function or does not exist ...is the error I get when the script compiles. I'd check to to if the nomenclature was off but I have no reference. Is there a website with a list of all the scripting commands like .. ARMAII (or operation flashpoint) if you're familiar with those 2. After that save, the properties don't include a place to specify the faction. Is this because the script didn't compile right as a result of problem 1? Sorry, I'm a scripting newb for TES series. But I apreciete your swift responces. This is how I learn quickest.

ual002 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yea, I hit a brick wall, I cant get the script to work. I don't think I'm doing it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fg109 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Oops, I forgot about casting. Basically, anything can trigger the event for the trigger, but AddToFaction only works on actors. So casting is needed: scriptname MyTriggerScript extends objectreference Faction property BanditFaction auto ;declare a Faction property Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef) ;this event is received when something enters the trigger zone if (akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()) ;check to see if whatever entered is the player (akActionRef as Actor).AddToFaction(BanditFaction) ;add the player to BanditFaction endif EndEvent Event OnTriggerLeave(ObjectReference akActionRef) ;this event is received when something leaves the trigger zone if (akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()) ;check to see if whatever left is the player (akActionRef as Actor).RemoveFromFaction(BanditFaction) ;remove the player from BanditFaction Disable() ;disable itself so the player doesn't get added to faction again if he/she returns endif EndEvent And the Papyrus page on the CK wiki lists all the scripting functions.

I'll give it a go once again when I get home. Thanks. Also I found some resources since posting the other night. Figured I could try and not be totally useless and use the google machine. But yet another thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh12345 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Wasn't there a prisoner/guard association type defined? Or maybe just use the Guard behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ual002 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 On an unrelated note, if you follow the link to download my mod... If you load skyrim and immediately coc calavalcave, and leave the cell to skyrim worldspace, if you turn around, the cave entrance isn't there. Not until you go back in a come out again does it appear. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
