Pama´s Interactive Gallows

[ExodusTransonicMercury]

Hi! Is there a way to "reverse engineer" the hanging script to replace the vanilla hanging.

 

The vanilla hanging script (found here: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/996763-how-to-make-hanged-npcs-just-thought-id-share/) has major issues: NPC most of the time found on the ground (but return to the rope if activated), ropes (and bodies) stuck in impossible position, lack of customization (actors must start dead and will not be bound). The tutorial may be incomplete and other settings might reduce the problems, I don't really know...

 

I'm currently toying with a couple mods where I want to add hanging bodies, without player interventions.

Ah, I found it about the time you've answered me and just finished implementing it.

Am gonna test it, then I guess (I hope) I'll find other scripts within your mod that can be associated to NPC to cause bound hands and feet.

For Hands:

game.addHavokBallAndSocketConstraint(AttachedActor,"NPC R Hand [RHnd]",AttachedActor,"NPC L Hand [LHnd]",0,0,0)

For Feet:

game.addHavokBallAndSocketConstraint(AttachedActor,"NPC R Foot [Rft ]",AttachedActor,"NPC L Foot [Lft ]",8,0,0)

 

AttachedActor being a reference to the victim-NPC (duh...)

Thanks!

I am trying to set up another gallow, but having trouble with Creation Kit.

 

I have placed a gallow and the rope, but I cannot find the platform, wheel, lever and trapdoor. I checked the gallow's properties in Gallows Landing to see where to find these four items in CK, but I just can't find them. They also seem to be somewhere under the ZAP items, but where??

Thank you! Found them. Step by step I am going forward.

The only thing missing right now is that I can't find "RigidBodyDummy". When I have a look at your GallowsLanding cell, I can see this object in the objects list. However when I place a new PamaGallow at another location, I can't find this object in the list. Where should I look for it?

you might want to scroll down all the way in the object window and select "ALL"

that way the search function will work properly.

Thank you for your patience! Found it.

 

Now I am trying to find out how to edit the Dummy and Lever properties in "GallowFurnScriptShort". There's this button "Pick Reference in Render Window", which shows a white or red cross hair in the render window. But I am not able to select anything with it. The search is going on... ?

 

UPDATE: haha, with double-clicking, I can select reference objects. I feel like an idiot ?

I finally got it working. Thank you so much for all your work you put into your mods!

 

Two minor issues I noticed:

• The lever always points to one side (see pic in spoiler section). I can select the lever and the trap door opens or closes, but the lever never moves. This is not correct, isn't it?

Spoiler

 

• I constantly see the message "Gallow Ready!" in the upper left corner coming and going where ever I are in Tamriel (inside or outside) . Is this expected behvaviour?

 

I tried to mess around with the script "GallowFurnScriptShort" to get rid of the message as a workaround. But when trying to compile the script I get the following errors:

 

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...

It doesnt move in my original version as well, but thats an issue with the lever itself. Youd have to annoy t.ara about this if you want it fixed.

You can however use any other lever as well. It doesn't have to be this one specifically.

thats a script from zap. apparently you don't have zbfbondageshell.psc in your scripts/source folder.

SetGameSettingFloat

you don't have game.psc in your source folder.

 

You might want to look up a guide on how to properly set up the CK. by default, all native game scripts come in a zip File. They have to be extracted first.

[Gudulba]

Thanks for the hints! I have sorted oSut most of the compiling errors by gathering the required PSC files. Now I seem to have one error left ("Cannot open store for class "GallowFurnScriptShort", missing file?"), which until now I haven't been able to sort out.

 

Is there a way to find out which file this error is referring to?

So if I remove those two scripts I the hands and feet of the NPC victim can hang freely?

[Yoen]

is there a way i can make it so the hanging bodies in the "gallows of skyrim" mod have their arms and legs bound like this or no?

The pieces of code in the post above yours can be used to achieve this bound effect. Shouldn't be overly difficult to use in other mods.

nice, but i still have a question.

[asacacsa]

Which mod is used for the female followers on the screenshots?

Creation kit

Got it, my issue now is that the animation is just my character hanging and not standing on their toes. Any tips? Sorry for being stupid  

[altimate]

Could anyone point me in the right direction on this:

 

I would like to make the SHORT_HANGING_ROPE and LONG_HANGING_ROPE resources longer(physically).  Can this be done in the creation kit?  Is it possible to 'stack' two rope objects together the achieve a similar effect?

 

Thanks!

You can just scale it up I guess... ("2" button to bring up the gizmo)

[GamerLat]

Hi Pamatronic, have you thought about adding spells to this Mod to be able to relocate the Gallows and make the NPC use the Rope, even though the navmesh doesn't exist?  Just as your Mod deadly Furmitures Does ? ?

[ipoopsometimes151]
