Trying to script a change on a NPC relationship : V

» Sun Jun 08, 2014 1:34 pm

So I started going back to one of my other quests on updating/fixing its dialogues and came across the Faction list of things, along with Relationships. I edit everything to basic to where when the Player meets this NPC that she's nothing but a stranger to him rather than being a friend right off the bat. In this quest after the player engages with her, I want her relationship with that player to change soon as the player accepts to help her. I also want to figure a script based on having the NPC following the player throughout this quest.

Then at the end of the quest after saving her sister, I want to change the relationshiprank again on her and her sister, so that the Player is closer with the two of them. So from the beginning another words when the Player first meets this NPC in order to start the quest, the relationship rank would change to "Friend" and after the quest to "Ally". If this makes sense.

I'm still limited on papyrus, so all of this is still new to me. Help would be great. If this helps, I've already setup the potential stages in the Factions (PotentialFollower and PotentialMarriage) Along with CurrentFollower, -1. Just the matter of understanding how to change relationships throughout the quest.

Thanks in advancement!

Edit: I tried doing some work in the process and this is my outcome.

GetOwningQuest().SetObjectiveDisplayed(10)

GetOwningQuest().SetStage(10)

Natashka.SetRelationshipRank(Game.GetPlayer(), 1)

(DialogueFollower as DialogueFollowerScript).SetFollower(akspeaker)

Debug.MessageBox("Is the player a teammate :"+akSpeaker.IsPlayerTeammate())

akSpeaker.SetAV("WaitingForPlayer", 0.0);used to control wait/follow - see if they follow now?

I think what you need is to define the property of the actor 'Natashka.'

Actor Property Natashka  Auto

If you want to change the player's rank in a custom faction, that's something else entirely different.

But...can I ask why you are bothering with relationship ranks if these are custom NPCs? If you need to condition dialogue and dialogue responses, you can just easily use the quest stages.

Because I want to turn them into followers (Apologize, I should've been a bit clearer.)

Well here's the problem. You stated properties, which is true; however, my response when trying to put her as Actor in properties is this still:

And her Actor on properties doesn't show. I may have to reload it and see if that will fix it. Right?

Also, apologies for being so quick, but that quote is old. I edited my previous issue on the 2nd post. All I have a problem with is the code I just pasted

Edit: Huh. Don't even need to use properties to define Actor. Just type it in under the Script Editor. Well that worked. I also tried deleting that chunk of debug data underneath the Relationshiprank, and I had no errors, but I fear the script won't work. Because wouldn't you need to define the relationshiprank or does it already do that under the OwningQuest?
