What script should do?

After NPC die ( Crab Ship ) small crabs spawn under big crab body :D

Script should spawn between 1 and 6 small crabs after big die

 

im not sure about this "self" cause im not sure on what it is pointing xD

 

also, testing my mod: xD

To me, you script is coded to do the following: When the actor dies, an actorbase is spawned, with the number of said actorbase randomly being between 0 and 6(I wonder how the game is going to handle it if 0 comes up) of them. After 30 seconds, to which the script is paused, the dead actor will be disabled. 10 more seconds later, it is deleted. As a failsafe(?), the dead after is deleted when the cell is detached. This means when the cell is no longer part of the loaded cells around the player(5x5 or 25 cells, by default), OR if the cell is an interior cell and the player leaves that cell.

 

 

 

Self is exactly what it is. It is pointing to the object itself. You don't need to explicitly use it in certain cases. Example..

Scriptname somethingScript extends ReferenceAlias
 
Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller)
    if (GetReference() as Actor).(sometfunction..)
        ...
    endif
EndEvent

Is the same as

Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller)
    if (self.GetReference() as Actor)
        ....
    endif
EndEvent

Now if you were to have an object activate itself(for example), then you'd need to use the self variable and pass it to the function.

Ohh right xD

 

between 0 and 6 :D

i don;t know how game will handle to spawn 0 actors but i don't want to know :D

 

fixed to 1 / 6 :D

 

//Edit:

y, its deleted after 40 sec cause i also wanted to make "Blood explosion" from body and small crabs move out from dead body but idk how xD

and its probably not possible with basic CK stuff cause i think i should make animation or something

 

i was trying with creating and moving bones etc. with script but it was not looking good so i delete it but left delete NPC part :X

Hey Toby.

I have made a similar script as yours, but i can't post it because i'm not where near my PC, and i'm using my tablet.

But, my quick fix to resolve the NPC's death and exploding spawning creatures without doing too much work, like creating particles or editing meshes in NifSkope, is pretty simple.

Add to your script:

explosion property BloodDecalPlaceExplosion auto

self.PlaceAtMe( BloodDecalPlaceExplosion )

Just remember to set in the scripts properties the BloodDecalPlaceExplosion, and place in your script the self.PlaceAtMe( BloodDecalPlaceExplosion ) before the spawning creatures, also give it like 0.5 second before the creatures spawn, just to have a nice looking result. But that's up to you.

* If i remember correctly in my script the sweet spot is 0.3 seconds. The explosion cover the sudden appearance of the creatures and does a nice FX before the creatures spawn after the NPC's death.

Hope it helps...

:o how it works?

 

this explosion... what FX should i choice in properties ? :D

and it will self clear after playing this FX or i should clear it?

 

im asking about clearing this FX cause i have "Spots" like in MMO games

for Example "Crab Rock" where you can go and kill crabs and new crabs will spawn after any will die

 

so i don't want to place too many FX that can't be deleted / cleared from world :x...

 

 

 

also can't test this script cause im home now xD

after 12 h in work xD OMFG

 

tomorow i go again at 9:00 and leave at 20:00...

so i will have a lot time to test scripts more xD

 

 

im working for 12h / day but im almost not doing anything :3

thats why i have time for CK in work xD

 

//Edit:

and ofc. its only "idea" for now with MMO Spots in Skyrim

but im gonna try it by adding every monster in Spot special script

 

with OnDeath even... and when Monster die they cast special spell on Mannequin

and Mannequin have his own Event "OnHit" and when he got hit he will spawn new monsters :D

 

lel xD

 

if there is any better way pls help ^_^

in my opinion its good enought way to do it cause it will work anyway... probably...

but maybe i can do it without creating mannequins...

 

but... its CK xD

i have no idea why we have to put chest for trading with NPC xD

it was too hard bethesda to do in BaseActor window ? :tongue: hehe

 

//Edit2:

i want to play with friends Skyrim Multiplayer thats why we need Spots :D

to farm and lvlup infinitly :D

 

also simple dungeons from Night World and simple Castles from Night World xD

Night World

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JWAndMdsQU

sry for music and sounds in this video xD

its Korean Ahri from League Of Legends Voice :tongue: lel

 

those castles you can "refresh" and place new Enemies

but Night World was only for Singleplayer and it was broken xD

 

 

once i start SaveTools and saw 57.000 forms in Night World when Skyrim.esp had only 24.000 xD

 

 

too long MSG T_T sry again !...

im just Tobi and i love writing :c...

 

even if my english is bad... for that sorry too xD

It's an explosion, that means it will play the FX like any other explosion FX.

Play explosion > Spawn creatures > and that's it, you won't see any traces of the FX after it has finished playing.

FX to choose in the properties : BloodDecalPlaceExplosion

* Also i don't know how it will work with other mods, my script will be placed only in a few actors, like 10 of them, in key places of the mod.

PS: What music mod are you using ? i realy liked it.

Edited May 18, 2019 by maxarturo

[TobiaszPL]

You mean music in Braverock?

- Fable / Spellforce Music

in Braverock Video it should be Witchwoods and Greatwood from Fable

 

Nightworld?

- Wither 3 / Dark Souls / Audiomachine / Two Steps and maybe something more...

Nightworld is 3 years old :P
