[LE] Compiling error: "Play is not a fucntion or dos not exist"

[GoblinSlayeru15]

Hi, like the title says, I have a compiling error. What I'm trying to do it's to make a scene wheres gonna be an explosion via script. I've setted up the explosion properties and then I've wrote this line:

 

FireStormExplosion.Play(Alias_11xiv.GetActorRef() as objectreference, -1.00000)

 

But idk whys is keeping getting errors!

For explosions, you need to use PlaceAtMe I believe, not play. So Alias_11xiv.GetActorRef().PlaceAtMe(FireStormExplosion)

Yeap, you need "PlaceAtMe()", also negative values don't work with explosions.

thank you!

Sorry to bump this again... So, the new script fragment "PlaceAtMe" works ok in the creation kit, I can compile it, but then, nothing happens ingame. I've tried a new load from a clean save, but nohing. I've setted up the explotion properties, but is not showing up ingame. Tried with and effect shader instead of a explotion, with the .Play fuction, and again, works ok in the creation kit, but not ingame.

Make sure your alias is filled and your properties are filled. I just test the FireStormExplosion with placeatme and it worked. To check, you can do:

 

If Alias_11xiv.GetActorRef() != None
    Alias_11xiv.GetActorRef().PlaceAtMe(FireStormExplosion)
Else
    debug.Notification("Alias not filled")
Endif

Alias is filled because 11xiv actor shows up ingame. (to be more specific, what I'm tring to do is a scene where the 11xiv actor "pop up" or teleport after a dialogue. That happens well but without any explotion or effecshader applied on him.

Ah, well you have to teleport the NPC before using placeatme with the explosion. Another option is to use an xmarker reference to place the explosion right before teleporting the NPC to the xmarker.
