Modding with CK - Noob questions

[AndrewLRG]

To get a "Well Rested" effect you need to sleep in location with "LocTypePlayerHouse" keyword.

Thank you, that did the trick. Although I don't quite understand the CK's approach to that, as I couldn't find a single location with that keyword, I had to create one myself. Where's Breezehome, Vlindrel Hall, Proudspire Manor? They don't seem to have any worldspace in the CK...

Thank you very much for your constant input!

Youre missing that the Candle isnt an Activator, yes

I feared something along those lines...

Thats usually done through Scenes where in the start script there is a "Game.SetPlayerAIDriven(true)" and in the end fragment is a "Game.SetPlayerAIDriven(false)" or however the scene needs to time things

Uhm, yes, absolutely. I think Create World, create Adam and Lilith, are higher up on my list...

Another option would be to block the Activation of the Bedroll until the Player entered the cell themselves, doing so requires yet another triggerbox that you fill the cell with an use a Script on that, which OnTriggerEnter() will allow activation and on leave disable activation again. The Bedroll itself should probably have a script with OnCellAttach that blocks activition

That sounds like a feasible solution, because with the PC inside the triggerbox I should be able to make him/her unable to fiddle with things outside, like escaping by activating a chair. I've placed those out of reach by now, but I would love to have them closer to the fireplace.

You don't have by chance a code snippet in your pocket that I could shamelessly copy? I have no idea how to disable the ability to activate something (other than replacing a static, non-usable bedroll through a usable copy upon entering that triggerbox)

The Bedroll already has a script that does the closing and locking of the cell door at OnSleepStart()

A 3rd option, probabvly the easiest one, would be  to add a Script to your Bedroll and OnActivate() registers for Sleep and OnSleepStart() moves the player onto itself

Sounds easy enough. How do I move the player? *sigh*

 

...back to reading/watching tutorials...

They are interiors and the fact that that worked only means that your Cells Location was bugged in some way

Id still recommend looking through the CK Wiki, I only write this up by what I have in my head. For the Triggerbox you simple do:

ObjectReference Property bed Auto

Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference obj)
	bed.blockActivation(false)
EndEvent

Event OnTriggerLeave(ObjectReference obj)
	bed.blockActivation(true)
EndEvent

 

And for the Bedroll you simply add

Event OnCellAttach()
	self.blockActivation(true)
EndEvent

 

That should I think disallow the Player to activate the bed while they are outside the trigger box

On your Bed Script:

Event OnSleepStart(params idk)
	Game.GetPlayer().moveTo(self);
EndEvent

I knew I picked the wrong word. Let's call it CK-space. I am unable to find any reference to the in-game player homes.

That actually worked, had the nice effect that I see myself sleeping. Had the weird effect that I attached the RegisterForSleep() to OnActivate, and as I have to activate the bedroll to get up, every coming sleep event is now attached to that bedroll. So after sleeping once in that cage, wherever I go to bed, I wake up in the cage.

And what I coded had the bug, that though I went to sleep and the cage door locked, I didn't actually sleep.

No need to go into debugging details as I've used the trigger box.

 

Your script snippets for the TriggerBox helped a lot, thank you very much! I copied the trigger event from the CK wiki, and with the MessageBox poppig up upon entering or leaving the cage, I could set the borders to be triggered at the right spot. With the same mechanism I disabled activation of the chair as long as I'm inside the triggerbox, now that's exactly as I wanted it to be!

 

Back to lighting candles...

 

Oh - would anyone be interested in downloading this "mod"? I cannot imagine that the umptieth player home would be of any interest to anyone.

Cells are always named by Parent Location followed by their own Location

So Breezehome would be WhiterunBreezehome

as Whiterun is the Parent of the Player Home and the Player Homes Location is called Breezehome

To avoid this issue in Alternate Perspective, I set a Condition on the OnSleepEvent:

If(Game.GetPlayer().GetDistance(Self) > 500)
	return;
EndIf

That way the Event only fired if the Player is actually near the Bed. Also make sure to Unregister For Sleep when you no longer need the Event

Whatever youre doing right now sounds kind of interesting with the dungeon & cage n stuff, so if nothing else, making it a modders ressource to save someone else from creating a house for their own story sounds certainly worth it.. or maybe you make your own story around it *shrugz

How do I edit inside Whiterun so it shows up in the normal game and not just during the Civil War attack? Id like to add colorful trees, delete dead shrubs and and life to the landscaping.
