Help Porting FOSE Mod to NVSE

[LivewareCascade]

So I'm porting an unlimited ammunition mod to NV (for the player, anyway):

 

http://fallout3.nexu...com/mods/17666/

 

I've got the script running, but the FOSE code was this, which works well enough in FO 3:

 

scn UnlimitedPlayerAmmoSCRIPT

ref rWeapon
ref rAmmo
ref rGrenade
ref rMine

short iAmmoCount
short iAmmoUse
short iWeaponType

BEGIN GameMode

if UnlimitedPlayerAmmoEnabled == 1

	set rWeapon to GetEquippedObject 5
	set rAmmo to GetWeaponAmmo rWeapon
	set iAmmoCount to GetWeaponClipRounds rWeapon
	set iAmmoUse to GetWeaponAmmoUse rWeapon
	
	set iWeaponType to GetWeaponAnimType
	if iAmmoCount > 0 && iAmmoUse > 0 && ((iWeaponType == 4 && UnlimitedPlayerPistol == 1) || (iWeaponType >= 5 && iWeaponType <= 6 && UnlimitedPlayerRifle == 1) || (iWeaponType == 7 && UnlimitedPlayerHandle == 1) || (iWeaponType == 8 && UnlimitedPlayerLauncher))
		if UnlimitedMode == 1 || UnlimitedMode != 2
			if GetItemCount rAmmo < (iAmmoCount + iAmmoUse)
				if GetWeaponFireRate rWeapon < 15
					AddItem rAmmo 1 1
				else
					AddItem rAmmo 2 1
				endif
			endif
	
		elseif UnlimitedMode == 2
			if GetItemCount rAmmo == 0
				AddItem rAmmo iAmmoCount 1
			endif
		endif
	
	elseif (iWeaponType == 9 && UnlimitedPlayerGrenade == 1)
		set rGrenade to GetEquippedObject 5
		if GetItemCount rGrenade < 2
			AddItem rGrenade 1 1
		endif

	elseif (iWeaponType >= 10 && UnlimitedPlayerMine == 1)
		set rMine to GetEquippedObject 5
		if GetItemCount rMine < 2
			AddItem rMine 1 1
		endif
	
	else
		set rWeapon to 0
		set rGrenade to 0
		set rMine to 0
		set rAmmo to 0
		set iAmmoCount to 0
		set iAmmoUse to 0
		return
	endif
endif
END

 

However, NVSE is slightly different, as I'm sure you guys know.

 

For example, GetWeaponAmmo, which returns the amount of ammo for the weapon in FO3, returns the formlist for weapon ammo in NVSE, so all available ammo types are dealt with.

 

So the only way I can adapt this for NV currently is to delete all but one ammo type off the formlist, since the refill script adds ammo randomly - so the player has to keep switching between Ammo types. Is there a way to set this so that it focuses on one ammo type?

 

I tried to use GetPlayerCurrentAmmo in place of GetWeaponAmmo, but it doesn't seem to work with that, although the script readily compiles.

If the whole idea is unlimited ammo, why not use the SetWeaponAmmoUse function and set the currently equipped weapon to use 0 ammo? I have to admit I've never used this function before, so I don't know exactly how it would behave. Something like this:

if UnlimitedPlayerAmmoEnabled == 1  'activated by a hot-key or whatever'
    if GetAnimAction == 0  'weapon is being equipped'
          set rWeapon to GetEquippedObject 5
          set iAmmoUse to GetWeaponAmmoUse rWeapon  'stores weapons original ammo usage'
          SetWeaponAmmoUse 0 rWeapon
    elseif GetAnimAction == 1  ;weapon is being unequipped
          SetWeaponAmmoUse iAmmoUse rWeapon  'restores weapons original ammo usage'
    endif
endif                  

Naturally, when UnlimitedPlayerAmmoEnabled is reset to 0 (from a separate script), SetWeaponAmmoUse iAmmoUse rWeapon must be called on again. It all depends on whether or not setting a weapon to use 0 ammo doesn't stop it from shooting altogether.

True, but I wanted something that both forces the player to reload. If I forced the player to reload after the given magsize had been expended, it would be infinite ammo, but would not update the hud. If I didn't force the reload, then you wouldn't get that functionality. I know I'm being pedantic about it, but the idea is to develop as "precise" a function as possible. I don't want unlimited reload, or the ability to only carry one bullet as my store of ammunition.
