make a functional hotplate

[YanL]

Hello guys.

 

Ok, I create a new item, a hotplate. When you drop it, you can cook in it.

 

To do that, I make a copy of the campfire script for this item.

 

But I want to pick up in sneak mod.

 

I add this two lines to the copy of the campfire script

 

1) If player.IsSneaking == 1

2) ????

3) EndIf

 

So, what do I put on the middle line that allows me to pick up the item in sneak mod? Because the pick and use buttons are the same, so I need something more.

 

Any ideas? :smile:

Where is that "If player.isSneaking" located?

GameMode or OnActivate?

 

 

Because if it would be in "OnActivate" block you can simply add this into it.

Begin OnActivate Player
 
if player.isSneaking
player.additem <your cooking pot> 1 1 ;--> the second 1 is to not display an "additem" message
Disable
MarkForDelete
else
<Everything the pot should do while you are NOT sneaking, but activating it. ;)>
endif
end

Sorry. It locate in OnActivate.

May I ask... Why do you use "User.Activate"?

Is this some kind of bugfix?

[EPDGaffney]

Actually, you can just make the hotplate a regular misc item and make the beginning of the script

Begin OnActivate 
    If IsActionRef Player    ; 'OnActivate Player' is bugged and will be called when anyone activates it, so use this instead.
        If Player.IsSneaking
            Activate
        EndIf
    EndIf
else

[EPDGaffney]

Oh, hadn't read the Campfire script and kind of forgot what we were doing. My previous comment was amending JustChill's first script example. I was saying, we don't need to add a separate item form. Unless, how do you set the hotplate down to begin with? Do you just drop it? Can you grab it with Z afterwards and fling it about the place? or were you replacing it with a static at some point?

 

And JustChill, that User.Activate line looks like the bug fix I was commenting in my script excerpt above, just another (and for whatever reason more complex) way of doing it.

'OnActivate Player' is bugged and will be called when anyone activates it, so use this instead.

 

 

Thanks for confirming.

I actually heard that from my trainer too, but as he told also some bad stuff like

 

let string := sv_destruct

I started to question a few things.

 

Guess I am not gonna use it anymore then. :D

[EPDGaffney]

He must have confused Ar_Null and SV_Destruct, would be my guess.

 

And remember I mentioned this:

If ( Player.IsInCombat == 1 )

can be more efficiently rendered as

If Player.IsInCombat  ; You can leave the parentheses.  They're superfluous here, but some people do it to maintain the habit.

[JustChill]

Well... I didn't want to plant more recommendations than necessary onto YanL.

Felt a bit bad to do that actually... Don't know. :sad:

I am not a teacher just a fan of mindlessly speaking with game engines. ^^

 

Yet I've to admit... I recently updated my Dynamic Pipboy Light, as I realized that I was way too complicated than I had to. XD

I guess it's more accurate to use "Player.IsPlayingAnim Pipboy == 0" than calculating passed time to determine if pipboy animation is over. ^^

 

 

So rather take my recommendations just as hint, as I am not that reliable when it comes to be totally clean. XD
