Tallcastle Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ive tried to teach myself Papyrus and quickly found my self in way over my head. Short Story: I ether need someone willing to step in and help out with Papyrus or at least point me to a few places where i can learn what i need to on my own. Long Story: This is what I'm doing and what i need. the mod I'm working on would completely overhaul smithing, in particular it would change how a player would learn new smithing recipes. Rather than any player being able to make any item at a forge with the right perk selection and a prestigious skill rank, forge "blueprints" would be acquired the same way a person learns new spells, they buy them from merchants and smiths, receive them as quest rewards, and find them on monsters or as clutter in dungeons. How It Would Work Players reading "Blueprints" would be like reading a spell book, the they disappear when read and grant the player with a perk that allows them to from that point forward manufacture that particular item from the forge. What I Need The only way i can figure to do this is to set up a book attached to a Papyrus script that removes it from inventory and grants the necessary Invisible perk when read. Any Help or suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fg109 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The script needed for this is easy: Scriptname BlueprintScript extends ObjectReference Perk Property MyPerk Auto Event OnRead() Game.GetPlayer().AddPerk(MyPerk) Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(Self) EndEvent All you need to do is change the value for the property for each set of blueprints. As for a good place to learn Papyrus, I don't know. TES Alliance has a very good tutorial for beginners, but there's only one tutorial. Have you tried the tutorials on the CK wiki?

Tallcastle Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks for the help! yes. i checked tutorials in a few places ... the big problem with me is i have no traditional programing experience so i don't really understand code in any programing language .... i have done some work with XML files modding Civilization 4 but even then "Python" was little more than sand script to me its odd how those 6 lines of code can make me feel like such a Luddite. :laugh: you are a lifesaver thanks again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
