How to get the state of an activator

[thousande]

Hi

 

How can I check if an Activator is active?

 

I have a trigger on the map that is linked to a 'custom' Radio Beacon Activator.

When entering / leaving the trigger I want to check if the activator is activated.

 

I see there are activator methods, but there is no methods or properties that suggests that there is a state. Do I miss something?

 

I guess a solution is to create the functionality my self on the custom activator, but is there something built in?

 

Thank you in advance,

Thomas

Not sure what you call a radio beacon. To get a radio quest to play music you need 2 things: a transmitter, which is an invisible activator and does not produce any music (it's just a relay to your radio quest which needs to be put in the world), and a receiver, which has 3D and can be activated on and off. IsRadioOn() is the bool function which can tell you if that receiver is on or off.

I guess it was too specific ;)

 

I have duplicated and adjusted the RadioBeacon form/activator object. It should not function as a radio in the mod.

It can be any object of type activator.

Since these objects are categorized in Activators and there are Activate(), BlockActivator() methods etc. I would have guessed there was something like an IsActivated() method too

 

So when the player character or npc activates the activator it should set a boolean state in the Papyrus object saying it is either on or off.

 

Again, not a biggie as I can set up a script on the activator creating the functionality myself. Just wondering if there where something built-in

Try GetOpenState:

While making my own radio beacon, I noticed that calling setOpen will change the status of the switch of the beacon. So I think that getOpenState should return it's state as well.

openState seems to hold the 'active' information here

 

Solved, Thanks!
