OBSE 20 bugs report

[Lord Valarian]

In OBSE 20, i'v found a number of bugs. I know how to trigger them as well. Is there anyone still working on it? Who do I private mail?

 

Zaldiir

 

That's who listed on the uploader.

 

 

Edit: Using construction set extender 5.1

 

Use this on an object in game.

 

Scriptname aaaOBSEinvtest

short invPos
short invCount
ref pInvObj
ref pCont

int pObjType

Begin OnActivate
set pCont to GetActionRef   ;get access to player's inv

set invPos to 0
set invCount to pCont.GetNumItems
While invPos < invCount
   	set pInvObj to (pCont.GetInventoryObject invPos)

   	Set pObjType to pInvObj.GetObjectType
   	printc "%g %n %g" invPos pInvObj pObjType
   	if (pObjType == 33)   ;weapon
           ;printc "%g %n %g" invPos pInvObj pObjType
   	endif
   	
set invPos to invPos + 1
Loop
End

 

All items get zero as object type.

Don't use the quick edit feature it has a tendency to muck things up, always use the full editor. --Admin Thanks --LV

It is not an OBSE error.

 

GetInventoryObject returns a Base Object and, when using Base Objects, the syntax must be "FunctionName BaseObjectRef"

 

So to get the Object type of a Base Object you must use "Set pObjType to GetObjectType pInvObj" (and this will make your code work)

 

If you are not comfortable with the concepts like "Base Object", "Reference", "FormID" and "EditorID", I suggest you read the Getting Started articles on the CS WIKI.

http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html

 

This where I got the instructions from. They are confusing. You/someone needs to add examples to the docs. Thanks for the tip.

 

I need to go through the players inv, filter, check, then alter data. I need an accurate count of actual number of items. Same baseid different items. Two swords, two different damage values. Getnumitems get unique items, but not the actual item count?

Read the Function Syntax Format section of the OBSE doc.

 

Basically, what it says is when you encounter a function with a syntax: "reference.FunctionName objectID:ref", you can either call it on a reference (MyRef.GetName) or on a base object (GetName MyRef)

Example:

 

Ref MyRef
String_var s

Let Myref = ArenaFan1  ;(the EditorID of the base object)
Let s := GetName MyRef
Print $s   ; Prints "Adoring Fan"

Let MyRef := ArenaFan1Ref  ;(the EditorID of the reference)
Let s := MyRef.GetName
Print $s  ; also prints "Adoring Fan"

 

As for counting items, GetItemCount is what you need. Using your example above:

  set invPos to 0 
 set invCount to pCont.GetNumItems 
 While invPos < invCount 
   set pInvObj to  pCont.GetInventoryObject invPos 
   set pObjType to GetObjectType  pInvObj
   let n := pCont.GetItemCount  pInvObj
   printc "#%g - Name: %n Type: %g Count: %g" invPos pInvObj pObjType n
   set invPos to invPos + 1 
 Loop

I tried to use those functions for days. I gave up and abandoned the whole method. I designed a totally different way of doing it. Not pretty, but it works. Thanks for the info. I may use it at a later date.

 

FYI, the mod nearly complete. Some small finishing touches to do.

 

 

An addon for it is giving me a weird syntax error. First, what's wrong here?

 

 

short health ; obse code

 

begin onactivate

set health to 71

printc "health: %g%%" temp

end

 

health: 71

 

Percents won't print. Using '%a' won't work either.

 

'%g' isn't listed is the docs, but other webpages reference it?

Edited July 26, 2012 by Lord Valarian

[QQuix]

%g is documented in the PrintC page and all other pages where it applies.

 

%% is broken and already reported to the OBSE team in case they come back from Skyrim

 

The only way I've found to print a % is Print "%%" or let MyString := "%%" + Print $MyString (PRINT, not PrintC)

setname and setnameex

 

These are not saved to the gamefile. Right?

 

Can you set a quest var to a string?

[QQuix]

setname and setnameex

I don't know.

Write a test script that sets the name of something. Save and load and check if the new name stuck.

 

 

Can you set a quest var to a string?

Yes, quests may have string_var variables.

No, the new name stays if you use the load screen. However, it disappears if you exit the game then restart. I might have a way around that.

 

This mod really pushes my programing skills to the limit.

 

Yes, quests may have string_var variables.

 

Can you set those string vars at the console?

 

quest1.name1 "test" gives an error

[QQuix]

Sorry. I am not familiar with console usage.
