[LE] Script for buying a home

[KiokothePirate]

So I'm working on a player home mod where the player purchases the home by depositing gold into a strongbox(activator).

 

The player will walk up to the strongbox and activate it. A menu will pop up asking if the player wants to deposit the money or not. If they deposit the money they receive the house key, if they choose not to deposit the money the player exits from the menu. They can exit the menu as many times as they like, but they can only deposit the money once.

 

To be clear, if the player chooses to deposit the money, that money is removed directly from the players inventory.

 

I have no idea how to write this script so if there is anybody out there that can help me out I'd really appreciate it.

You may wanna take a look at this, is quite easy to do it.

 

Here you will find a script.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36756

 

This is to add script commands to be processed when a message button is pressed (from your pop up menu).

No tested by me but you can try:

Scriptname QLG_Script_Nexus001 extends ObjectReference 

	Key Property QKey Auto
	{ Key to give Player }
	
	Int Property QGold Auto
	{ Gold to Collect from Player }
	
	Actor Property QPlayer Auto
	{ Player Ref }
	
	Message Property QMsg Auto
	{ Message to show }
	
	
auto State WaitForPlayer
	Event OnActivate()
	
	Int QReturn = QMsg.show()
	
	If ( QReturn == 1 )						; if Player wanted to buy Key
		If ( QPlayer.GetGoldAmount() > QGold )
			QPlayer.AddItem( QKey , 1 )
			QPlayer.RemoveItem( GoldBase , QGold )
		Else								; Player don't have gold
			Debug.Trace( "You don't have enough Gold !..." )
		EndIf
	EndIf
		
		GoToState( "Done" )
		
	EndEvent
EndState

State Done
	; Do nothing
EndState

Y i know GoToState is in wrong place :)...

So anywhere where there are brackets like these { } I would fill in that property with the ID of the key, the amount of gold to remove from the player, etc...?

[maxarturo]

Nope brackets {} are used for description, so you know what is the above set to do, brackets are not seen by the game's engine reading the script, only you can read it.

You need to go into the scripts property to fill the amount of gold - what message should be shown etc...

Click on the property button, where is the Add Script - Remove Script - Property.

If you are simply buying a key, you could use this video from Darkfox127 that allows merchants to sell keys:

 

 

It uses an "OnContainerChange" script which may be helpful to you.

Well I am buying a key, but the vendor is an inanimate object. You're essentially buying the key from a strongbox.

Keep in mind that ToiaszPL script or any script won't work if you don't "add script commands to be processed when a message button is pressed".

http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Skyrim_Messagebox_Menu_Tutorial

So if you are a newvie i'll choose a different route if you don't know how to do it, you'll encounter problems with your pop up menu (mod not working - buy key not working) that will be releated to the above.

[KiokothePirate]

Thank you for that explanation! As you can probably tell I haven't done much scripting. I added your script to the activator (changed the first line of course) and tried to save. When it tried to compile the script I got the below message. (I should also point out at this point that I am making this for Skyrim SE, I just started this thread in Skyrim knowing that there would be a wider knowledge base).
