What is Find(Procedure)? Can I use it to create a search area?

Helloooo!

 

I am looking into creating a search area for the player; it shows up on the map as a circle indicating the area to search. While looking, I came across this:

 

https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Find_(Procedure)

 

What is this? The word "mentally" is perplexing; does it have any sort of practical use that could help me with my search area?

 

Thanks

Find procedure is there. Right click in the Procedure Tree window and select "New Procedure", and scroll down the list til you find(lol) "Find".

 

What's not there though is a premade Find package template. So you need to make your own using the procedure.

Personally I'd go with one of these puppies, though:

Not the least because they are guaranteed to end, and you have more control over what you're looking for.

Good luck getting the Find procedure to work.

 

The only base game use of that procedure (DogmeatQuest Scene DogmeatIntroGarageFetch Package DogmeatIntroGarageFetchWaitAtItem) seems to be cut content as its not called by anything.

 

You will also see where the developers tried another workaround in DogmeatQuest Script DogmeatQuestFindStuffScript (which was the inspiration for my Dogmeat Sniffs Glue mod which uses FindAllReferencesOfType).

 

That was all replaced with the DogmeatSniffAroundPlayerAfterCommandedToFindStuff sandbox.

Why do they leave stuff in that is not used anymore? That feels sooo.. 'untidy'.

 

Thanks anyway guys, guess my circular search area was "a-notta-menta-to-bee"!

Because it's Bethesda. The CK is basically a collection of old stuff from other games lol. This is part of the reason people don't like it that they stick to Gamebryo so hard(Creation Engine is not "new" it is a renamed Gamebyro lololol).
