How to get if the player is near ?

[killerrj8]

How would I get this ? . I want to start a scene when the player is near. I know how to start a scene etc. But I don't know how I would get if the player is near.

Can someone tell me ?

Is the scene in a set location? If so, set up a trigger that starts the scene when the player crosses it.

In a set location ? it isn't in a cell if you mean that. And where is a trigger that i can place on the map ?

To create a trigger that reacts to the player you first need to create a primitive (use the button on the toolbat that has a T on a cube). you will also need a script that does stuff when the player enters the trigger zone e.g.(I use this to show certain banners when the player is a member of the appropriate faction)

 

scriptName JSActivateByPlayerFaction extends ObjectReference
{This will enable/disable a linked ref based on whether the player is a member of the specified faction}

Faction Property CheckFaction auto
{Which faction to check}

Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference triggerRef)
if (triggerRef == (Game.GetPlayer() as ObjectReference))
	if (Game.GetPlayer().GetFactionRank(CheckFaction) >= 0)
		Self.GetLinkedRef().Enable()
	else
		Self.GetLinkedRef().Disable()
	endif
endif

EndEvent

Near WHAT/WHERE exactly?

Ask a vague question, get vague answers :rolleyes:

i don't know how I can say what I want more exactly. Well how do I create a Trigger ? is it on the left where you can place objects on the map ? Like a map marker with a radius ? For the script itself I basically know what to do but don't know WHERE I should put the script. Hope you can understand

Select the reference for your scene's NPC (just 1 click on him). Then in the toolbar on the top look for a "box with a T inside" icon. Click on it and a window will pop up.

 

New choose an object from the window (this will be the shape of the triggerbox). I usually choose the xmarker.

 

Now a red box will appear around your NPC. Click on it and 4 arrows will pop up, draggin the mouse from one arrow will enlarge or restrict the red box.

 

When done, double click on it, go to "scripts" and add the trigger script.

hmmm.... Somehow it doesn't work i tried everthing the script is just fine, no errors when I compile but when I go into the red box in-game nothing happens or triggers. I can try to start the quest and run the scene on Quest begin or just lead it directly to the script... it doesn't matter. It just won't work >:/ The actors just stand there like nothing happened. i followed the tutorial on creationkit.com for the scene and checked it several times. I don't know but it just won't trigger. Please help

[gasti89]

Try to script the trigger for something else (like a setstage or a additem), so you can know what's not working (the scene or the trigger)

[killerrj8]

Okay, thanks. The trigger itself works. I will try it with another method to get the scene to work
