scripting help?

[giamel]

Need help from a big brained individual. I was trying to duplicate the exact actor via dialogue but its cycling through the actor's leved list.

I'll eventually get the correct actor but after a random amount of tries. Would someone be so kind to correct my code?

 

 

DupEm = akSpeaker.GetBaseObject() as Form
akSpeaker.PlaceAtMe(DupEm)

Form Property DupEm auto

Have you tried GetLeveledActorBase?

 

Edit: 

Don't know if I'd use a property for this code. Seems like a waste

 

akSpeaker.PlaceActorAtMe(akSpeaker.GetLeveledActorBase())

 

This alone should do the same thing.

Yes. same thing. Here is that code:

 

DupEm = akSpeaker.GetLeveledActorBase() as ActorBase
akSpeaker.PlaceActorAtMe(DupEm)

 

ActorBase Property DupEm auto

That is smaller for sure. Thank you. But it is still cycling thru the leveled list same as before.

Right.

Tricky. I think 

akSpeaker.PlaceActorAtMe(akSpeaker.GetLeveledActorBase().GetTemplate())

 

will work. Sort of. The actor will look the same but their outfit may be different due to leveledlists.

 

You can't clone the clone though I've noticed using the same method.

Another question please. So say I wanted akspeaker.SetFactionRank(PlayerBedOwnership, 1) on that newly cloned NPC. How would I go about doing that?

You'll have to explain more clearly what it is you're trying to do.

Ok, how bout this. So I use akSpeaker.PlaceActorAtMe(akSpeaker.GetLeveledActorBase().GetTemplate())  a new copy of the NPC is then spawned. is it possible to set attributes like aggression to 0 so it does not spawn aggressive?

It's tricky. I'm doing a little work that's fairly similar atm but with creatures. What I'm doing:

 

akActor.SetAV("Aggression", 1)

akActor.SetAV("Confidence", 3)
    
; Factions
CheckFactions(akActor)
    
akActor.StopCombatAlarm()
akActor.Stopcombat()
akActor.EvaluatePackage()

 

CheckFactions() is basically a loop removing the creature from all known hostile vanilla factions. The problem is not all hostile factions are going to be vanilla skyrim factions. It's worked well for me so far though.

 

Factions by far are going to be your biggest headache.

Ok, will try tooling around w/ that. Thanks again.
