Fallout New Vegas GECK & Scripting Help 101

[Guest]

I dont think is MyRef is blank is a problem until your script don't make operations on it. And since the first block won't run until it is actually a raider (so it won't be blank) it shouldn't happen. That second block runs until it returns a raider. Then, the NextRef is the one which will decide if you are actually shooting it or not, this only prevents if in the meantime you change your target to something else, like a friend (or even a second raider, but it doesn't count)

[Guest tomm434]

I feel more confortable with this one:

if GetStage MyQuest == the moment I take the collar

  If player.IsInCombat

    if TargetIsRaider
        set MyNextRef to player.GetCombat Target
        if MyNextRef == MyRef
           if MyRef.GetHitLocation != -1
              my head explodes
           endif
        else
           Set TargetIsRaider to 0
        endif

    else
    set MyRef to player.GetCombatTarget
    if MyRef.GetInFaction RaiderFaction
         set TargetIsRaider to 1
    else
         set TargetIsRaider to 0
    endif
 endif

Where I would mean this:

 

TargetIsRaider is a boolean, true if the target is a raider. It is setted in the second block.

 

Second block (it runs if I still have not a raider as target)

- Give me the target. If it's raider, set the boolean to true.

 

First block

- If I have a raider as target, give me the actual target. If it's the same reference, check if it was shot by me. If it is, let my head explode. If it's a different raider, go back to the second block. This should prevent that de-sync I was thinking about

 

Hope it makes sense for you

 

 

That's how script looks

 

scriptname aaraiderfriendlyfire

 

ref myref

ref mynextref

 

short targetisraider

 

begin gamemode

 

If player.IsInCombat

if TargetIsRaider ==0

set MyNextRef to player.GetCombatTarget

if MyNextRef == MyRef

if MyRef.GetHitLocation != -1

player.PlaceAtMe NVDLC01BombCollarExplosion

player.kill player 1

endif

else

Set TargetIsRaider to 0

endif

 

else

set MyRef to player.GetCombatTarget

if MyRef.GetInFaction RaiderFaction

set TargetIsRaider to 1

endif

else

set TargetIsRaider to 0

endif

endif

end

 

 

Thanks.

It works but not in the best way

So, raider starts combat if player hits him 4 times. And this 4th hit counts as trigger(because player is in combat)

 

but there is another problem - if I use pistol, I can't hit raider 4 times because he or she dies sooner.

I tried to delete line with "If player.IsInCombat" but it doesn't work at all then.

I guess I will have to add every raider npc to the form list and then make conditions.

Thanks a lot again!

I agree you can't wait 4 hits, but this script isn't supposed to work in that way. You can of course remove the IsInCombat, its endif is the very last one, it's strange it doesn't allow you, maybe I did some syntax mistake but that IsInCombat shouldn't make the difference for the script purpose. While testing it, I would lower the script delay to something low, like 0.1

nom when I delete  IsInCombat  - scripts can be saved. But in game that doesn't work. Maybe because there can't be combat target if player is not in combat?

[Guest]

it can work even out of combat, I'm using it in these days with another script, it works even with people who is friend. well now that I think to that, I tried it looking through a scope... but well it was working. When I have more time I'll try it without a scope

 

EDIT I just read your script, there's a mistake in the first If Target is raider, you placed == 0, it was simply If Target Is Raider without anything else (it must be 1)

Well, it's time I asked a possibly complicated question! (Or at least it's complicated to me this morning!)

 

Two questions, though figuring out only one would be sufficient.

 

One: This might only be regarding ZAZ. Is there a way to use the Sexout system for playing an animation indefinitely? Particularly a 2 or more person animation.

Any animation, including ZAZ, can be paused indefinitely by casting SexoutNGPause on one of the actors involved in the act. Resume with SexoutNGResume.

 

I must be obtuse tonight. How would one go about that exactly?

 

I've tried CIOS SexoutNGPause after the sequence starts and before (which makes no sense to me) to no avail. My understanding is the spell callback  (CBSpell) works after the sequence is over, yes? Of course I'm attempting the test in an onload block which probably causes more complications knowing my usual luck. Should I have used a timer and then cast SexoutNGPause? Let the sequence get moving, THEN cast. I'll have to give that a shot when I'm not dead tired.   Sorry if this is rambling. Long day.

Erm.. just like I said. If alice and bob are engaged in sex, just "aliceRef.CIOS SexoutNGPause". Or bobRef. Doesn't matter which one of the actors you use. The sexout scene must be active before you can pause it, just like you can't pause a movie that isn't playing.

If you're trying to use it in a callback then you can only do it from the start notify callback (not the ending one), and yes, you should wait a moment between getting the notification and casting the pause spell. You can do this by having your callback code cast a spell of your own creation on the target, and having that spell effect wait until some time has elapsed or some other condition is met. It should not take long, but you do need to wait, because the first thing the sexout main effect script does is remove any tokens and stuff it finds on the actors in case some previous call crashed and left them laying around.

 

I'm a fool for not adding some NX var that you can check to see if it's 'safe', I'll add that to the todo list, but for now.. just wait 0.1 seconds or something.

[Guest]

And sorry I explained bad, I was meaning that the problem is not GetCombatTarget because I'm using it in a different script I'm doing in these days, it works with both hostiles and non-hostiles, but well it doesn't make people explode Anyway this is how I scripted my GetCombatTarget:

...

(if I press a hotkey)

...

 set aaPTarget to player.GetCombatTarget
      if aaPTarget
          if (gettype aaPTarget == 42) || (gettype aaPTarget == 43)    ; if target is actor or creature
             ; do the rest of the things

 

And essentially it means if I press a hotkey, set aaPTarget (which is a reference variable) to the reference the player is targetting. If that reference exists, and if it's a creature or a human, then do the rest of the script. I just tried without scope because I didn't try it before, but yes it works too.

 

If you already corrected that " if TargetIsRaider == 0 ", then I assume there's something else which is wrong in that script. I'm busy with some things, when I finish I'll give a try

As usual can't sleep until it's solved. (One should NEVER code late at night!!) It seems my problem initially was I was calling pause before Sexout had a chance to get moving. Slapping in a timer allowed Sexout enough time to get the animation going before pausing. So now Scenario One is essentially solved. Turns out dialog might be possible as well, depending on animation. I've done some quick testing and the animation remains going even during combat which is a nice bonus.

 

I may even consider rewriting the original single person scripts to use this. Those had to handle not only animation, but sound, position, and combat handling. Sexout makes things quite a bit simpler in that regard!

 

Anyway, a little touchup and polish and I think this little mod might be ready.   (About time, I only started cleaning it up....  3 MONTHS ago!! )

 

[nyaalich]

Any ideas on how to better manage an NPC's distance?  That is:  keep them within a certain radius of you, say 512-532. 

 

With Confidence 4 and Aggression 0, she is crouching defensively without fleeing far away, but she does so right where I'm at, chasing my heels.  I've tried making a FleeNotCombat package w/ the minimum distance being 512, and sometimes she stays at a decent distance, but other times, she runs for Goodsprings.

[prideslayer]

Glad to hear it.

 

The only thing that can reliably stop a paused animation is unpausing it and/or ending it (SexoutNGFinishNow). Leaving the cell and returning *might* do it, sometimes, that bit is always somewhat unpredictable. I think most of the time leaving the cell will just suspend it (I don't think spell effect scripts run in other cells) and then resume it next time the cell is loaded.

[Guest]

I don't know why but without "If player.IsInCombat" script doesn't work at all. Can you publish your script which explodes player after she attack anybody?

 

Ok I tried the script ingame and I found where is the problem. It works until the last part, the one which should make the head explode, because GetHitLocation doesn't go true. Looking at the Beth guide, it will returns the value only in the frame when the enemy is killed, it means I need to kill a raider before my head explodes, because a single hit won't do the trick.

I tried other functions as GetFriendHit, GetLastPlayerAction and IsPlayerActionActive, they all don't work as I expected.

 

The last thing I can think is making a check with IsKeyPressed: if you press fire when you have a raider as target (and you "almost" have it if IsCombatTarget gives you a target reference), then your head explode. The bad side of this solution is that you actually don't need to hit him, since IsCombatTarget gives you the reference if you aim very near him without hitting him (like 10 cm far from a leg, but if you shoot like 20 cm from the leg it doesn't give you the reference), so it's approximative

Also, this script works better with lower delay time.

 

So well, I can't really figure another way to check if a generic reference is hitted without scripting herself or using a specific weapon... sorry...

you can still use the form lists but probably other mods which introduce new raiders won't be affected

I tried forming a list and it didn't work.

Then I added this script(Object type) to every raider to the game

 

Begin OnHit playerref(tried it without "ref")

(head explodes)

end

 

I've stolen it from Three bounty quets n New Vegas(where each first recon sniper had diferent greeting depending on whether they hit Driver nelphi or not)

 

 

And it didn't work. I don't know why.

Athere are a lod of  npc raiders in GECK and they all used about 10 templates. So I added scripts to templates and they should have automaticly applied to other npc who use these templates.

 

I think I will use the script for 4 hits . That is at least something.

 

 

 

[Guest]

At that point, if you told me raiders in TTW needs 4-5 hits to become hostiles, I would try to use the first solution of many posts ago, the one involving the faction. I believe checking the faction would be the more stable solution and would run nice even with a higher delay time: maybe your head won't explode istantly, maybe in the meantime you will be able to kill a couple of raiders, but still your faith will be decided, you'll die. So maybe is slightly less realistic, but still it would work. Now maybe delay times are not really a problem, it's just me that I'm obsessed with them. Maybe. It deserves a try.

yes, dealay won't be the problem, through dialogues I will warn player that he shoudn't mess with raiders at all.

 

So, what exactly is your solution?

I tried to this myself(when i was thinking about blowing up the player after player kills any raider)

 

 

 

ref raideractorbomb

begin gamemode

if (raideractorbomb.IsKiller player ==1 && raideractorbomb.GetInFaction raiderfaction ==1)

player.PlaceAtMe NVDLC01BombCollarExplosion

player.kill player 1

endif

end

end

 

And it didn't work.

Parameters: 2

weaponFlags2:Integer
item:ObjectID

Return Type: Nothing

Condition Function: No

Introduced In: 2.6

Calling Convention: E

Description:

Sets the weapon flags using integer bit value notation.

Sexout uses tokens for counters, a token for position, and pickidle with conditions on the animations. For any given animation, I will add anywhere from 100 to 10,000 counter tokens.

 

I intend to ditch that and switch to playidle myself at some point, but it's not additem or getitemcount that is slow.

 

There are paired (or tripletted? word?) animations for sex anims.  Which actors get the tokens for the anim, and do the actors all get the same amount of tokens?

 

Is there a particular script that I should be looking at?

 

Are animations actually differentiated between vaginal and anal?  Below, I have truncated what's in the anim start (I think) script from Sexout, which doesn't mention differences

WeaponFlag are bitmask.

You're suppose to add the values you want set. Values skipped will be restet.

 

example:

set iFlags to 1 + 16 ; eFlag_PlayerOnly + eFlag_MinorCrime

weap.SetWeaponFlags2 iFlags

...

set iFlags to 16 ; eFlag_MinorCrime

; --- clears the player only flag

weap.SetWeaponFlags2 iFlags

now if you want to remove a flag without knowing what other are present, you need to do bitwise arithmetic using (the very badly named) logicalOr and logicalAnd.

@Mailamea as prideslayer said, try leaving the scene and returning, and then saving while they are paused then reloading. I would be happy if in both cases the scene survived but I'm afraid it won't.

 

@nyaallich

 

Check SexoutNGRandomizeScript to see which anim apply to which type of sex.

 

[nyaalich]

So, is GetWeaponFlags also supposed to return an int based on the actual byte's data/number (If you used get on the weapon above, you'd get 17 and 16 respectively).

Actors get 3 tokens right now that the system actually uses.

 

1. The counter. Unscripted. Each actor gets an amount of these equal to the animation currently playing, so if it's anim 601, each involved actor gets 601 of these. The count is used as a conditional in the gecks pickidle.

 

2. The position. Unscripted. Each actor gets one of these which indicates which role they play in the scene, there are only three of them: A, B, and C, and only one is given to each actor.

 

3. Dress/Undress. Scripted. This is given to an actor and causes them to undress. Giving them a second one causes them to get dressed and then removes both. When the don't redress flag is set, the first one is removed and a second one is never given.

 

Is there a particular script that I should be looking at?

Depends on what you want to know. The main script is SexoutNGEffectBaseScriptF. It's staged and runs from the bottom up (the first stage to run is the last one in the script).

 

Are animations actually differentiated between vaginal and anal?

No.
