How do I manage to do this? for example

I added the assault rifle in and I want Generic NPC's to use it, such as fiends, convicts, powder gangers etc.

How would I go about doing it?

Thanks

You've got to add it to the leveled lists for their weapons, just open the NPC's to see which list they use and drop it in there. But you shouldn't drop the weapon directly in, copy of of the (Weapon)COND lists and change it to your weapon so the don't all have perfectly maintained weapons.

There's also a slight problem with just dropping it into the lists- it'll conflict with any other mod doing that. You need to write a script that adds it to the lists instead- the only way to have a script run not on an item/effect is by setting up a quest.

1. Set up your condition list, as Uglulyx said, and name it something like MyGunConditionList.
2. You now need to set up a list with that condition list, and some ammo- look at something like the WithAmmoLaserPistolNPC list to get an idea, then make a version using your condition list- named something like MyGunWithAmmo.
3. Make a quest, named something like "MyGunQuest", and check "Start game enabled".
4. Make a new script, that looks something like.

scriptName myGunQuestScriptshort Finishedbegin gameModeif( Finished )   returnelse   AddItemToLeveledList WhateverLeveledList01 MyGunWithAmmo 0 1   AddItemToLeveledList WhateverLeveledList02 MyGunWithAmmo 0 1 (repeated as many times as lists you want it on)   set Finished to 1   stopquest MyGunQuestendifend

The WhateverLeveledList should be replaced with the list you want your gun to be added to- you'll mostly be wanting to add it to lists like LL2Tier1GunsLegionRecruit, HVPaladinWeapons, FiendInt1WeaponGunNV- pretty much any list that has other WithAmmoXYZ entries.
4. Make sure that script's a quest script (top-right dropdown set it) then pick it as the script for your quest.

Thanks Uglulyx and Talkie Toaster

and Talkie Toaster Is this method similair for adding it to Vendors?

Edit: When I create a (for lack of me knowing what it's called) Greenbox thing it says would you like to add new form and I click yes it won't add it, how come?

Yep, just add it to the greenbox/leveled lists for Vendors.

I don't quite get your second question. What are you doing?

I was trying to add a new leveled list/Greenbox by changing the I.D of one already there and when it asks if I want to create it I click yes, but it won't appear, it's as if I did nothing.

Odd. Try refreshing the list by going to a different category and back to leveled items.

Okay I was able to get the Leveled List to add and set up everything like you said could I please get you to look over my script to see if it's right, this is for adding it to vendors thought I should fix that up before doing NPC's



does everything seem alright?

edit What does it mean when it says



I click yes but nothing happens it won't let me exit the script box unless I select no

thats cause your script doesnt work


how it would work:

scriptName AssaultRifleGunQuestScriptshort finishedbegin gameModeif finished == 0AddItemToLeveledList VendorContainerChet01 AssaultRifleCond 0 1 1  ;; 0 = level; 1 = count; 1 = condition at 100%AddItemToLeveledList VendorContainerCliffBriscoe02 AssaultRifleCond 0 1 1stopquest AssaultRifleGunQuestset finished to 1endifif finished == 1stopquest AssaultRifleGunQuest ;;set JaysusRules to 1endifend

however it still will not work because VendorContainerChet01 and VendorContainerCliffBriscoe02 are not leveled lists but containers, use

VendorContainerCliffBriscoe02REF.additem AssaultRifleCond 1 ;;REF because oyu need the containers reference ID not the object list ID

instead

but mind that this will be pointless as merchant containers often get respawned and your item wont be in them anymore... hence use leveled lists instead, to find an appropriate one for your merchant open his vendor chest and see which ones he uses

Thankyou Jaysus I was able to get the script to save also did one for leveled Fiends.

I was wondering how do you tell if it is working?

if you see them running around with the stuff

but on a more serious note:

add the following line to your script right before the "endif":

player.additem f 1

if you get 1 bottle cap upon starting the game it worked... but of course that only works once since the quest and its script will only run once and then never again until you "rename/unload save then load" the mod so it gets started again...

that bottlecap trick works for most script tests btw, its good to have it if youre unsure about more complicated "if" statement like timers and such
