SSE Is player swimming? How do I check for this?

[antstubell]

I tried script below as shown in wiki

 

EVENT onTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)

if Game.GetPlayer().IsSwimming()

Debug.notification("The player is enjoying a swim.")

EndIf
EndEvent

 

 

Error = IsSwimming is not a function or does not exist

Ideas for alternative please?

As it is a condition I think it should be something more like:

 

If Game.GetPlayer().IsSwimming == 1

I have this in working code:

If Dude.IsSwimming()

Note that Dude is an actor parameter in a custom function.

Perhaps you need to cast down from ObjectReference (which is what GetPlayer() returns) into Actor.

 

Taking your script example

 

EVENT onTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)
  If akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer()
    if (akActionRef as Actor).IsSwimming()
      Debug.notification("The player is enjoying a swim.")
    EndIf
  EndIf
EndEvent

Thanks, will give it a go tomorrow.

No joy. I get the same error.

 

TyburnKetch's idea -

 

EVENT onTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)
if Game.GetPlayer().IsSwimming == 1
Debug.notification("The player is enjoying a swim.")
EndIf
EndEvent

 

Gives these errors -

IsSwimming is not a property on script actor or one of its parents

cannot compare a none to a int (cast missing or types unrelated)

Hmmm. Sorry it did not help. Have you tried the suggestion from Ishara? Waaay more knowledgable than me :)

[antstubell]

Yes, Ishara's script gives the same error I original stated. Thanks for the input.

IsSwimming is added to the Actor script by SKSE. Make sure you have all the SKSE source scripts in a location that the utility you are compiling with can locate.

[antstubell]

SKSE has never worked for me. I did a post on it earlier this year or last year and despite you good people here on Nexus helping me and saying that everything looked fine - it never worked for me.

Then your only recourse is to fall back onto animation events.

 

This is taken out of my Controller Walk Run Toggle for SSE. It catches when the player starts swimming. Bare bones code only

 

;inside a maintenance function called during OnInit and triggered by OnPlayerLoadGame event
RegisterForAnimationEvent(PlayerRef,"SoundPlay.FSTSwimSwim")
 
;the event itself
Event OnAnimationEvent(ObjectReference akSource, string asEventName)
    If (akSource == PlayerRef)
        If asEventName == "SoundPlay.FSTSwimSwim"
          ;do something
        EndIF
    EndIf
EndEvent

 

But I rely on IsSwimming to find out when the player stops swimming. You might be able to use a walking animation to find out when the player stops swimming.
