Infinite Caps Locker : Fallout 3

» Mon Jun 07, 2010 5:34 am

Hi, I had a simple question.

I was wondering in G.E.C.K. if there was a way to make a locker that I have with about 50 caps renewable? What I mean is that if I were to grab some caps out of it, then exit out of the locker and POOF! more is there.

Thanks in advance! ^_^

how about this.

open your in-game console (tilde key, looks like ~)
type
player.additem f 10000
close console (tilde key again).

A mod to make 50 caps keep coming back is possible but it sounds like a waste of time if all you want is.. some caps.

To actually do it, you might make your own container and put a script on it, and do something like:

begin menumodeif getitemcount F < 50	 additem F 50endifEND

Or if you don't want it to add caps even if you add just one cap, use an Begin http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/OnClose block so when you close (or leave) the container if adds them, if theres 0.

What is Item F? Is that just a filler for something like Caps001 or whatever the item id is?

Oops you're right. Don't use F in scripts, use the itemID for caps instead. But in console commands, you need F (which is 0000000F for short).

This is also what I put as my script, if you could tell me what it does.

scriptname DavyJonesLockerScript
Begin OnClose
If GetItemCount Caps001 == 0
AddItem Caps001 100
EndIf
End

I also get this problem where I save the script, but it won't let me choose it from the drop down menu on the container. WTF?

You have to close the script text thingie, and then close the container definition, and then re-open the container definition. Then it should be selectable.

Also, this script does what I think it's doing by giving me 100 coins everytime I reenter this container... Correct?

Should it be like this?

scriptname DavyJonesLockerScript

Begin OnClose

If GetItemCount Caps001 == 0

AddItem Caps001 100

EndIf

End

scn DavyJonesLockerScript

AddItem Caps001 100

EndIf

End

scn DavyJonesLockerScript

You don't declare the script name at the end of your script, only at the beginning. So remove the "scn DavyJonesLockerScript" scripting line from the end of your script.

I have never used an OnClose block before, so if that doesn't work for you I think this might:

scn DavyJonesLockerScriptbegin OnActivateif GetItemCount Caps001 == 0	AddItem Caps001 100endifActivateend

What you have would make it so that if when you CLOSE it if there are 0 caps inside it adds 100 of them. So later when you reopen it there are 100. But if you leave 1 inside, when you close it it wont add any. Only when you close it and there are 0 inside.

How about have it so that it counts the caps in the locker, and if there's less than 100, adds 100 minus what's in there?

This mod already has an infinite caps locker:

Shameless plug...

But if you leave 1 inside, when you close it it wont add any.

Caps are weightless by default, and if you try to take a stack of weightless items from a container you'll automatically take all of them, so unless a mod changes caps to to have weight this shouldn't be a problem. Then again, it wouldn't be at all difficult to do what Kristoffer suggested and just add the difference.

Nice post on the Leveler's Truck Trailer.

I would've never known about it, but I'm just intrigued by the sunglasses... ^_^

I was always wanting to create weapons that looked like Food Items, then have it blow up like nukes with ranges and accuracy like the Sniper.

Can you imagine the crap you could pull?

I'm so starting another game just to do use this mod....

Maybe this is why the 40mm Grenades I created in the container in my Megaton House for my very first mod never respawn. I clicked "Respawn"on the container but whats inside never respawns. I'm going to try and add a script to the container today since I took the day off from work due to the massive snowstorm Jersey just got hit with.
