Freshling Modder, In need of assistance

[Delanath]

Hi, Delanath, also known as Random_Knight777, here. I'd like to ask a few questions mostly centered towards people with some knowhow of the GECK tool. These questions may cover a few different areas, and I will be ever gratefull for any assistance given, even if it's just pointers at where to look.

 

1) How do you create Dialogues? I looked over the GECK Wiki from time to time in hopes for finding that little thing I had missed, perhaps I didn't search enough. Mostly, I'd like to know how you create a Dialogue, and how to give it to a character afterwards.

Things such as:

Making a "HELLO", or Greeting, dialogue.

Branching Dialogue, Topic A gives you the choices of A.1, A.2, A.3, which in turn gives other choices, and so on.

 

2) Some minor things about scripting, I mostly try to dissect a few simpler scripts, and then put it together in a new area with a few new conditions and outcomes, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I might have missed a few pages about this on the GECK Wiki if anything...

I would like to know:

How one can make a script run when you "Click" an item in the Inventory, Misc Item, that is, Like a wrench? Just a small example on what's needed, then I can probably stuff in the rest.

Can you make a script that activates on any "Creature", but only when it's dead? Such as a Dead Protectron?

 

These would be my current questions. And just as a note, I won't mind if other "Freshling Modders" have questions for the more experienced audience, to use this topic aswell, Sharing is Caring, right?

I know how to do scripting. Can you describe what you want to do exactly? (what do you want to do with the inventory item/protectron?)

I'm pretty new to dialogue and have only played a little with it. But here's the post that helped me get things working. http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=91069&hl=

Scroll down a little and someone lays out the steps needed. All credit to that person.

 

And I'm not much on scripting either but from what I understand here is a list of of the blocktypes. They seem to describe when the script will be fired.

Hope that helps.

Ah, thank you both for quick answers, Those blocktype things might help me quite abit~.

 

Hmm... lessee...

 

Basicly, I want to have an item in the Inventory, like a special wrench, that when activated, pops up a menu, and from the menu, I can build stuff using items from my inventory. Such as a turret or robot.

 

However, now when I got the blocktype info, I should be able to do that myself. I've been messing around with a few simple scripts(The scripts I "Dissected"? Wonder Meat Maker and Workbench, so I know how to make Menus and conditions and the like for item creation, although not on the level of the Workbench, just a simpler version).

 

And now I need to train abit on Dialogue making, and then some companion aspects to that... If things work out like I want them to, I might very well have a mod which allows you, as a true-blood Engineer, create your own Turrets and Companion Robots~.

 

That is, if I get that far, Will post later with vague results after some Trial and Error.
