[LE] SetStage When Player Sits (Scene commences when player sits)

[Didact2805]

Hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone knows how to script it where once the player sits, a scene commences? (Like Season Unending when player sits in the council chair) I've tried to dissect Season Unending's scripts to no avail.

 

As long as I can get a SetStage working on sitting, all would be good! Wouldn't mind a hand with ensuring this happens at a specific stage to prevent it from re-activating. Would it include 'ifs' and 'elseifs'? Just want a cutscene to occur when the player takes their seat essentially -> SetStage 8; Stage 8 -> Scene8Starts

Here's what I came up with for doing the same thing. It starts a scene when the player sits in the chair.

Scene Property TBO11AzukAttackScene  Auto  

Actor Property PlayerREF Auto

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActivator)
 
	if(akActivator == PlayerREF && GetOwningQuest().GetStage() == 51)
		TBO11AzukAttackScene.Start()
	endif

EndEvent

I just created an alias for the chair and then attached this script to it.

 

You can do something like this for your case:

Quest Property WhateverQuest Auto  

Actor Property PlayerREF Auto

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActivator)
 
	if(akActivator == PlayerREF && WhateverQuest.GetStage() == 7)
		WhateverQuest.SetCurrentStageID(8)
	endif

EndEvent

Hey there, thanks for your reply,

 

I've implemented the script (the bottom one) and it compiles successfully, however, it doesn't seem to fire into Stage 77 which is what I want, I've tried creating a different 'object', attaching the script to the chair (via reference) and also as an alias. Will experiment a bit more but are there any other alternatives? I could try a 'global' but that seems excessive for what should be a simple script?

; Also properties have been filled appropriately, as well..

 

I attached the script to an activator and it works! But not the chair, for some reason

Scriptname BBX_TestChairScript extends ObjectReference

Actor Property PlayerREF Auto

Quest Property BBX_TestQuestStage Auto

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActivator)

if(akActivator == PlayerREF && BBX_TestQuestStage.GetStage() == 76)

BBX_TestQuestStage.SetStage(77)

BBX_TestQuestStage.SetObjectiveDisplayed(77)

Debug.MessageBox("You sat on the chair with a feeling of fufillment and success.")

endif

EndEvent

Here's the exact instance I used it. It works fine when I sit in that chair. Copy these settings exactly:

 

 

Your script should be this:

Scriptname BBX_TestChairScript extends ReferenceAlias  
 
Actor Property PlayerREF Auto
 
Quest Property BBX_TestQuestStage  Auto  
 
Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActivator)
 
if(akActivator == PlayerREF && BBX_TestQuestStage.GetStage() == 76)
  BBX_TestQuestStage.SetStage(77)
  BBX_TestQuestStage.SetObjectiveDisplayed(77)
Debug.MessageBox("You sat on the chair with a feeling of fufillment and success.")
endif
 
EndEvent
