Non working combat script : V

» Sat Aug 06, 2016 9:57 am

Hello, back again.

Could anyone please tell me why this script is not working, as it has been a long long time since I have worked with papyrus and cannot understand why this does not work.

Attached this to a blank quest with both start game enabled and run once both checked.

In quest Alias I have created a specific reference of Player(ref) in cell (any) where I have placed the script in Papyrus scripts filling in the property with Player(ref) and cell(any)

The script is below:

ScriptName Playercombatcontrols extends ReferenceAlias

import game

import debug

Actor Property PlayerRef Auto

auto State forStart

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor PlayerRef, int combatState)

if combatState != 0

game.disableplayercontrols(true,true,true,true,true,true,true)

gotoState("forstop")

endIf

endEvent

endState

State forstop

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor PlayerRef, int combatState)

if combatState != 1

game.disableplayercontrols(false,false,false,false,false,false,false)

gotoState("forstart")

endIf

endEvent

endState

Have I done something stupid? As I stated I have been far removed from papyrus for a while so this is very possible.

Also the game.disableplayercontrols has been implemented mainly to show whether the script works or not while in game.

Thanks.

Per the wiki:

This event will not work to detect when the player changes combat states. It can only detect combat state changes for other actors.

oh and the quest should not be set to run once I do not think, otherwise reload games will not work (not sure).

Thanks for the reply! Damn that is annoying, don't suppose you or anyone else has another way to detect player combat as this won't? Thanks!

Hey everyone I have got my script working, here it is in case anyone has a similar problem:

ScriptName Playercontrols extends Quest

Import Debug

Import Game

Actor Property PlayerRef Auto

int Bugz

Event OnInit()

Bugz=1

debug.notification("You cannot use this item while in combat.")

While (Bugz==1)

if (PlayerRef.IsInCombat())

Utility.Wait(1.0)

else

Utility.Wait(1.0)

endif

endWhile

EndEvent

That should work only once or twice depending on the Quest having to restart.

Best way to track when the player enters combat is to attach an ability with a condition that internally checks every second if the player isInCombat or not.
