Ahh, thank you very much, that's a very helpful link.



Well the way I see it, SomeScript.SomeVariable would be very amibuous because there's multiple uses of the same script by different actors, so how would I differentiate between SomeScript(A).SomeVariable1 and SomeScript(B).SomeVariable1 ?

When I apply the script to a trigger, I can't use a torch anywhere in the whole dungeon... Which seems kinda weird to me...

Fixed, thanks

let actorRef.variableName:= . Will only work with variables on the calling actor's attached script.

Yes it is possible but not as flexible as we'd like. The syntax would be

set actorPersistantRef.SomeVar to 100-or-set SomeVar to actorPersistantRef.SomeVar

The biggest drawback of this is that it only works when the actor is persistant (well technically it's always persistant) and it has a Persistant Reference ID. So if you have multiple, variable or dynamic amount of actors this approach won't really work.

So if you have multiple scripts running on one actor you need to keep the variable naming unique across all scripts to avoid ambiguity when trying to set variables from other scripts? I think I'm beginning to understand.

Actors can only have one base script ( i.e., the script defined in the actor's record ). All other scripts running on the actor ( like those of tokens ) are inaccessible to the reference operator (.).

Me again, what is the collision for a tripwire? I can't get my tripwire to not get triggered when the PC doesn't break it...

Remember that guard armour from a few pages back? Im having a http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/6163/screenshot35.png with the cuirass. Can anyone tell me exactly what I may have done wrong in nifskope?

The armour is purely nifskope chopping, I took the arms and shirt from an upper class clothing and put it under the chest piece. But I'm not sure how to solve this issue. Any precautions or work arounds to issues like this???

Someone please help.

I have that blackscreen bug with an Nvidia Card in an Exterior Version is patched.

How to avoid it ? I think it was something with fog values

I need some quick help, ya'll. I'm trying to get a bed and a container to be activated remotely from a cell (using an activator that you place). Apparently, Morrowind's ShowRestMenu doesn't work for Oblivion, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to call a rest menu except by remote activation.

Also, since I'm here, how can I call a remote container to dump it's contents to the player?


:EDIT: I managed to answer my own question. Thanks anyways!

Hi,

I need help to find where the height of the world map window can be read. I found GetMenuFloatValue "player_grab_zone\width" 1004 for the width, but GetMenuFloatValue "player_grab_zone\height" 1004 returns a higher value than the world map window height (I guess it returns the world map height, + the height of the buttons below). I guess there is another xml trait where it's stored. Do anyone know?

Yes it's the fog values, not sure what need to be done but it is related to them.

FogNear value mustn't be 0.000. Just put it 0.001 or 0.0001 whatever the CS minimum is.

Whoops. Got some cells to correct I guess.

I'm trying to attach a script to a modified set of Shrouded Armer that will give the Player an Ability spell when sneaking. The current script is:

scn VypersSoSScriptbegin OnEquip Player  If player.IsSneaking == 1	 player.addspell VSoSShroudOfSithis  Elseif player.IsSneaking == 0	 player.removespell VSoSShroudOfSithis  EndifEnd

I get no errors when saving the script, but the spell (Shroud of Sithis) is not being added while sneaking (or at all). What am I doing wrong here?

OnEquip runs only once, when the object is equipped. You need a quest script or some other way to constantly check wether the player is sneaking.

Question:

Will conflicting QUST records cause problems in proper quest execution?

I.E. Tears of the Fiend, Ruined Tail's Tale, Malevolent, and Lost Spires all have their own entries for the 'GenericArgonian' (one of several they conflict in) Quest entry. It appears each one has its own conditions to check for in these entries. Will these types of conflicts cause problems? If so, is there any way to merge the entries manually or automatically so they become compatible?

Appreciate the help.

I changed Begin OnEquip to Begin GameMode and put an additional If to check if the Player is wearing the armor. It work perfectly now. Thanks!

What is the best way to determine if an actor is currently following someone? I know of http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetCurrentAIPackage and http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetCurrentAIProcedure and they seem to work pretty good. But I'm curious about other situations where one actor follows another (as would become obvious with http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#GetFollowers, http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#GetNumFollowers and http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#GetNthFollower). Like any of the other package types perhaps?

P.S. No need to worry about summons, I'm already dealing with them in a seperate (and accurate) way.

I keep seeing mods which have dialogue responses of over 150 characters, how have the modders overcome that limitation?

I'm not sure, but I guess it would be done by editing construction set.ini, maybe this part:

[Localization]iExtendedResponseLength=255iExtendedTopicLength=50bAllowExtendedText=0

Thanks, bAllowExtendedText did the trick.

I believe an actor can only have one package target at a time. The above functions were written to be used with the player, in all probability. Has getFollowers ever returned the same reference when called on 2 different actors ?
