Fallout New Vegas GECK & Scripting Help 101

[Odessa]

You could use GetParentCell to find the current cell at start of a menumode block, then see if it changes immediately in GameMode.

 

Alternatively, in MenuMode, move an XMarker to the player. Then in GameMode,

 

if GetInGrid XMarker, 1 ; if player is still in same or next cell to the marker

 

is false, then you assume fast travel.

[nkAlex]

Odessa, thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately, both will still not fire from MenuMode 1007 (it just seems to never enter this block at all), but I may have some ideas... I could probably measure Player's average speed using a marker, and when it exceeds any reasonable value, assume fast travel/teleport.

...unless the PC is using a motorcycle mod, grrr!

 

BTW, I've seen a lot of MenuMode 1007 checks in various scripts, are they there just for the sake of logic, or is it just my issue with a non-working 1007 block?

[astymma]

Fairly sure that MenuMode 1007 is the game loading screen, i.e. the save game picking screen.  Now I could be wrong... but...my advice, when you detect MenuMode 1023 ( pip boy data screen), record the position of the character. When you no longer detect MenuMode 1023 (in a GameMode block that's alerted by a flag you set when you enter MenuMode 1023), check position again. If a significant move has occured, they fast traveled. Or use Odessa's suggestion, of GetParentCell.

 

TBH, a lot of ways of accomplishing this.

[nkAlex]

astymma, thanks, sounds like the best way so far

 

Fairly sure that MenuMode 1007 is the game loading screen, i.e. the save game picking screen.

Hmm, from what I've read I thought it's the "spinning wheel" screen which is shown when jumping to a new location or loading a save game.

 

TBH, a lot of ways of accomplishing this.

Well, I was just hoping the game has some built-in means for something like that... which it does, but why the hell they don't work? %))

Quick question : Is it possible to find out the actor gender (male or female) from a script type effect? If its possible... whats the syntax?

 

Thanks!

Thanks!

From the GECK use the Wiki link in Help, the commands are something like rActor.IsFemale and rActor.IsMale where rActor is the Actor you want to check

[Guest Jezzy]

The only way my script compile is if I test actor.getissex gender isfemale or ismale does not compile :/

[Halstrom]

Oops sorry yes you are using the right ones, I haven't used them for a while to remember exactly what they were. Yes its:

if (rActor.GetIsSex Female == 1)

[Loogie]

The only way my script compile is if I test actor.getissex gender isfemale or ismale does not compile :/

 

Essentially what you want is this:

 

 

if ref.GetIsSex Female == 1
  do something here
endif

 

If you want something to happen different for both genders, do this:

 

 

if ref.GetIsSex Female == 1
  do something here
else
  do something else
endif

[Guest Jezzy]

How can you generate a random number in a effect script?

 

I use set rnd to GetRandomPercent into the Begin ScriptEffectStart tag but it seem i always get the same %

[astymma]

Should post your code Jezzy... it's likely not your call to that, but something else.

 

You could also be using NX_GetRandom.

Hello all,

i want to modify a little part of a script from the Sunny Companion.

 

I made my way throught the hidden topics in Quest windows under Windows 10 - it costs me some time^^

... but anyway - i made screenshots to show you my question.

 

I am loading this ESM's as Masters - Sunny Companion needs them :

 

 

If i choose the dialog "aSunnySexAnal" and open the editor for the Result Script - it shows a "function"

--> where can i find the function "aSunnySexFunction" ? :

 

 

I searched the entire objects inside the GECK - but do not find it....

 

Thanks for help

 

Ava

 

PS.: Can somone tell me how to add a "spoiler"... i dont find the option^^

[Halstrom]

The function should be unders scripts, and the spoiler button is often missing you have to actually type {spoiler} and {/spoiler} but replace the "{" & "}"with "[" & "]"

[Avahashija]

Ah...

... i found it^^ maybe i was blind yesterday - thanks for help :-)

 

Now i fidle arround with the scripts a little - see what happens :-)

 

Ava

 

Test:

 

 

Test - its working - thanks a million :-)

 

[Avahashija]

ok - now i struggle with the API...

 

i simply want to add an option "Sunny masturbate for me"...

 

But as far as i see i have only 3 classes

call fnSexoutActSetInt "IsOral" 1
call fnSexoutActSetInt "IsVaginal" 1
call fnSexoutActSetInt "IsAnal" 1

As far as i understood - they trigger just a randomizer for the class - pe "isOral".

 

...are there no other classes like "isBDSM" or "isMasturbate" ..... ?

 

 

But i see i can adress animations directly -

call fnSexoutActSetInt "Anim" 635

How do i find Animation 635?

 

Is there a kind of database where i see what animation number i need to trigger the correct Animation for a Masturbation Action?

 

Thanks for help

 

Ava

[Odessa]

There is an API guide by prideslayer/me here: http://git.loverslab.com/Odessa/sexout/wikis/API

 

If you switch to the new ActRunFull call method, you can use flags to customize the random picker a lot more.

 

For an anim database, your best bet is to look inside the scripts fnSexoutAddInternalAnimsA-H and fnSexoutAmraAddAnimsA-B

 

---

 

To make Sunny masturbate you can just do this:

 

call fnSexoutActRunFull (Ar_Map "ActorA"::SunnyREF)

[Avahashija]

Thanks for help so far.... :-)

 

I try to edit my first script...

 

Here it is:

                    call fnSexoutActRunFull (Ar_Map "ActorA"::LevelersMerchantREF)

                Activate
            else
                set ProcessButton to 0
            endif
        endif
    endif
end

 

 

 

Its a small menu with a few options - one of it should start the NPC to masturbate.

 

If i choose the option - the NPC walks in position and from then nothing happens.

After i have choosen the option a can't even force the NPC to play other animations - seems for me the NPC is in a kind of waiting position.

 

Two questions.

1. I have a "debugPrint" statement in the script - but i don't see any output in the console - what do i make wrong?

2. Why is the NPC waiting?

 

This is my first try to edit a script^^ so hopefully you will be not to bothered from me....

 

Thanks for help

Debug prints need debugging to be turned on with a line something like Set Debug 1, I do that in the beginning of SexoutSCR00Main somewhere

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I would like to ask anyway:

 

How do you force third person out of first? I have a mod that forces first person by using DisablePlayerControls, but when I get control

back I am still in first person and have to press 'F' to get back to third. What I want to do is modify the script so I can be able to go back

to third automatically without pressing the 'F' key to do it. Would also come in handy so I can make a mod that disables first person mode.

 

Thanks for any advice! ^_~

Thanks, t3589. At first I was like, "What does that mean?", then "And then what?", but I figured it out.

 

Anyone else reading this who doesn't understand, check this page out and you should: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=TapControl

 

Such a simple method but easy and does the job perfectly!

[ZuTheSkunk]

Hey there. I wonder: if the player receives enough XP to gain a level, is there some way to temporarily prevent the Level Up menu from showing up?

Guess it depends by the situations. I think you don't have many chances out there.

The only 2 things I could think about are call a menumode to stop the game, or in case you want to remain in gamemode you should simulate a combat - when npcs are alerted the level up doesnt' come out
