Fallout New Vegas GECK & Scripting Help 101

[nyaalich]

 

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).

 

Knowing the script to look at means fewer questions for you/everyone else.  ; )

Threesomes:  How can a mod tell where ActorA is penetrating versus where ActorC is penetrating?  Are the FormList call-backs for both Oral and Anal (etc.,) made?

You can't, other than knowing the specific anim.

Spunk looks that stuff up in its arrays and parks the data to figure out whose cum goes where as NX vars on the actor.

When you say the specific anim, you mean the specific kf file, right?  Does Spunk actually know who is fucking what, or is it a matter of directing the projectile and keeping track of where it hits?

 

This is me trying to understand how much detail I'll be able to add to threesomes in Sexout Erotica (NPC's cock is in your mouth vs. there is a cock in your mouth).

[prideslayer]

Well there actually is sort of a 'formula' to it that can work for this, but it'll somewhat skew the results, so we should settle on a system (or add some more NX vars..)

 

If Vaginal is set but not Anal, it's a double-vaginal. Same for Anal without Vaginal.

 

If both are set, then ActorA 'should' be the one doing Vaginal, and C the one doing Anal.

 

Of course if ActorB is male and doesn't have a hefemale effect, it can only be Anal. If ActorB is a female and has a shemale effect, same thing.

 

We should probably just agree on a better system for this -- and sensible defaults since existing callers aren't going to be setting the new stuff.

[nyaalich]

All I have to say:  Sounds crowded.

 

By the time that has been sorted out, maybe I'll be ready to start work on threesomes.

 

EDIT:  Is there a way to know if a hefemale or shemale is involved in an act?  I thought that I remembered that a shemale actually equips a strap-on, but that was another thread in another time.

There are sexout effects for both of them. If that effect is present on an involved actor, then such an actor is involved.

 

Strapons add the effect to the wearer, that's how sexouts random anim picker knows to treat them as the 'correct' gender.

[nyaalich]

I guess my question is:  They use the regular anims as opposed to the toy anims though, right?

 

EDIT:  FWIW, the sutra doesn't have toys in it, so that's part of the reason why I can't answer my own question out of game.

[t3589]

This discussion reminds me.  A while back I tried to stage a scene where I was trying to use the strap-on/dildo in combination with the undress.  Something like:

 

- set actor to don't undress.

- equip strap-on.

- start sex.

 

The goal was to use the strap-on as a fake member to simulate a male NPC unzipping and only taking out his batch for a BJ, without undressing.  But I couldn't get it to work without one or the other (don't undress/equip fake member) overriding one another.  Is this possible?

 

If I just tell them to equip, I can get it to show thru their clothes, but when sex is tossed into the mix it all goes to pot.

[prideslayer]

I guess my question is:  They use the regular anims as opposed to the toy anims though, right?

Yes. The toy animations are only chosen by the random picker for female on female where neither is a shemale.

The don't undress flag is broken in release. It should be working in the SexoutNG beta.

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 and "Helps Friends and Allies", she is crouching defensively without fleeing far away, but she does so right at my heels.  I've tried making a FleeNotCombat package w/ the minimum distance being 256, and sometimes she stays at a decent distance, but other times, she runs for Goodsprings.

 

Selfish bump.  Way for me to be "that guy." 

 

In my searches, people are mostly bitching about mod NPCs not running far enough away.

 

In fairness, Halstrom warned me before I started making a healer companion that combat is a bitch to manage.

This is me trying to understand how much detail I'll be able to add to threesomes in Sexout Erotica (NPC's cock is in your mouth vs. there is a cock in your mouth).

Yeah, most of the time the anal/vag/oral tokens/vars and the A/B standards work just fine but because there are always some trickier anim combos (threesomes, some ZAZ stuff) I went ahead and decided in favor of lists of everything.

 

Spunk keeps track of everything it can/needs to for the purpose of creating & placing cum - identity/species/race/gender as well as role in the act of everyone involved, set as nx vars on everyone involved. For a threesome, it takes both the isvag/isanal/isoral stuff (dual vag, vag-anal DP) and finetunes that with a predefined 'role' string for A and/or C based on the look of the anim, resulting in EVFl vars like "Spunk:Act:AssFucker", "Spunk:Act:Fucked", "Spunk:Act:Sucker" etc. Figuring out whose cock it is should be possible with EVFo "Spunk:Act:ActorA" (or C) & checking that ref with EVFl "Spunk:Act:Sucked". There are other vars like "Spunk:Act:CumTgtActor" that are also handy. I'm sure I list a bunch of 'em in the readme.

[Odessa]

Well there actually is sort of a 'formula' to it that can work for this, but it'll somewhat skew the results, so we should settle on a system (or add some more NX vars..)

 

If Vaginal is set but not Anal, it's a double-vaginal. Same for Anal without Vaginal.

 

Is that even possible?

 

...GIYF...

 

I guess so, I better update Wear and Tear. I think it would be easier for me to run a script on sex start then sex end, more NX vars would be very useful for me then for finding the type. At the moment W+T doesn't pick up second partners, it seemed like the form lists were confused by threesomes, or probably it is me that is confused reading them.

 

Also, if a sex call is made with type set to oral but it plays a vaginal/anal animation for whatever reason, it is still counted as oral by sexout. I believe this confuses pregnancy as well a W+T. Perhaps a check could be added to change the type if invalid?

[nyaalich]

I don't know if two of the (provide that it's not both in the same orifice) notify CB formlists are triggered when a threesome commences.  Is this the case?

 

Also, I DOUBT it, but how safe it is to assume that Actor C isn't used unless it's a threesome?

[DoctaSax]

I'm thinking, this sexout-related stuff should probably in the SO API thread.

 

(ActorC in non-3somes: depends if the calling mod is following the rules about when to use ActorA/B/C, if not they oughta be tarred & feathered and driven out of town.)

[nyaalich]

Fleeing Distance Update:  I got her to stay near but not too near by using an Ambush package on the player (if they're a friend or ally, they won't actually attack), Wait Loc 512, Ambush Loc 0, Ambush Target = Player (player is also the reference for the location for the previous two fields).

 

Now to figure out what I broke in the useweapon package while trying to get this to work. 

[Nessa]

One shouldn't wake up in the middle of the night and try to code either. I need to start a list of when NOT to play with code... AHEM...

 

Has anyone figured out a reliable way to use screen fade-out and fade-in that... works long enough to do something?

 

The idea is to fade to black for the player, get the NPC's (or even PC) out of their animation, and put them in a new animation, then fade back in. I can of course get fade in/out working but nothing that lasts long enough. It's always fading in at an inopportune moment.

 

I'm starting think there's no good way except via codebox. Or that's just me being stupid and trying to solve this when I should be asleep!!

[DoctaSax]

Fades are just imagespacemodifiers, so you copy or make some that last the length of time you want it to, and imod/rimod in a staged/timed spell script.

 

Here's something from SOFO that works with a fadeouttoblack imod, a "stay black" imod, and fadeinfromblack imod:

 

 

scn SOFOFTBandMoveScpt

float fTimer
float fFatigue
int iStage

Begin ScriptEffectStart

set fTimer to 0
set iStage to 1
set SOFOTraumaQst.iBusy to 1
DebugPrint "SOFO: Passing Out: Spell script started"
return

End

Begin ScriptEffectUpdate

set fTimer to (fTimer + ScriptEffectElapsedSeconds)
set fFatigue to GetAV Fatigue + 10

if iStage == 1
	if MenuMode
		return
	else
		disableplayercontrols 1 1 1 0 0 1 1
		imod SOFOISPassingOut
		set SexoutFleshedOutQst.rCurrentISFX to SOFOISPassingOut
		set iStage to 2
		set fTimer to 0
	endif
elseif iStage == 2
	DamageAV Fatigue fFatigue
	if fTimer > 3 
		if IsImageSpaceActive FadeToBlack4sISFX != 1
			DebugPrint "SOFO: Passing Out: FTB"
			imod FadeToBlack4sISFX
		endif
		if GetAV Fatigue <= 0 && fTimer > 6
			set iStage to 3
		endif
	endif
elseif iStage == 3
	DamageAV Fatigue fFatigue
	set SexoutFleshedOutQst.rCurrentISFX to SOFOISBlack
	imod SOFOISBlack
	rimod FadeToBlack4sISFX
	rimod SOFOISPassingOut
	dispel SOFOAutoDrinkActorEffect
	set SexoutFleshedOutQst.rCurrentISGeneral to 0
	rimod SOFOISDrinking
	player.moveto SOFODocMitchellGuestBedRef
	DocMitchellRef.moveto GSDocMitchellBesideMarker
	DocMitchellRef.addscriptpackage SexoutDoNothing
	if VCG01PlayerStartMarkerREF.GetDistance player < 100
		set iStage to 4
		set fTimer to 0
	endif
elseif iStage == 4
	DamageAV Fatigue fFatigue
	if fTimer > 10
		imod FadeInFromBlack4sISFX
		set SexoutFleshedOutQst.rCurrentISFX to 0
		rimod SOFOISBlack
		enableplayercontrols
		set iStage to 5
	endif
elseif iStage == 5
	if fTimer > 14 && IsImageSpaceActive FadeInFromBlack4sISFX
		rimod FadeInFromBlack4sISFX
	endif
	if GetAV Fatigue > 0
		set fTimer to 0
		set iStage to 6
	endif
elseif iStage == 6
	if fTimer > 3
		DocMitchellRef.startconversation player, SOFOTherapy2Drinking2CB
		set iStage to 0
		dispel SOFOFTBandMoveAE
	endif
endif

End

Way to clutter up the thread more, but...

 

I just wanted to apologize for being a (somewhat) whiny bitch yesterday.  I wasn't certain if my original post on flee distance had been seen, and whether or not you are all-knowing, it seems that way to me.  So if you guys didn't know, then it probably couldn't be done.  I was thinking that I'd have to abandon the project since her backstory is tied in to why she wants to remain a pacifist during combat,  and that's an absolute ton of planning and work gone.

I didn't respond because I didn't understand what you were trying to accomplish.  I do remember there being a lot of problems with fleeing.  When you want them to run away, they just cower in a corner.  When you just want them to cower, they run away.  That sort of thing.

 

I wasn't trying to get an NPC to stay nearby, but I solved my flee problem by simulating it.  ie. using scripts and packages other than flee to simulate what the flee package is supposed to do, but doesn't seem to want to.

 

This thread may or may not be insightful.

[nyaalich]

@T!:  Heh.  I actually found that thread, but it generated some more questions for me and the thread is locked and archived.  In a lot of threads, it seems like people disappear without saying what actually ended up working.  Eh.  Fuss fuss fuss.

Hello.

I wanted Some help on adding to a script that already exist in the Base game of Fallout 3.

The script is for adding Nuka-Cola to Vending Machine to make it Ice-Cold Nuka-Cola and wanted help on making it so i can add 2 drinks to the machine , say this item was

Purifier water... could someone possibly help me with this?

 

Before you post on were i can find it out ,i already know but cant get it to work.

so Direct help would be nice. 

 

I give Credit to you if i use it in my mod if you would like.

and a direct link to the mod will be sent if you would also like.

[Guest]

Before you post on were i can find it out ,i already know but cant get it to work.

 

Maybe if you want you could post the script here and people could take a look to see what's the problem

[nyaalich]

If you're looking to get help with something, generally it's best to 1) state what you're trying to do, 2) what it is or is not doing instead of what you're expecting/wanting it to do, and 3) post the script that you're working with underneath a spoiler tag/button.

[Guest]

I apologize i had little sleep and was a bit tired with not finding a good answer to my solution.

 

so i want to make this script to allow you to add Nuka-Cola and Purified Water to the vending machine and change them into ice cold versions.

 

Note this is the more complex script i tried doing so yeah.

when i tried to save the new script it said error on line 44 or 32 or some random line each time so i got it to a point were it was all fixed and couldn't find an error so i have no idea what was wrong with it.

 

so here is the normal script. 

the modified one wasn't saved because i had accidentally pressed a button and the G.E.C.K. Crashed.

so i hope this is fine.

 

scn HD01NukaVendingMachineScript

;This script is designed to handle the Nuka-Cola Machine that the Player buys for his house
;The Player can add Nuka-Colas to the machine and have them changed to Ice-Cold Nuka-Colas
;He can then dispense them as he wants to take some or drink them

short Button
short NukasOnMe
short GoNuka


begin OnActivate

if ( IsActionRef Player == 1 )
if ( Player.GetItemCount NukaCola >= 1 )
ShowMessage HD00NukaMachineWith
set GoNuka to 2
elseif ( Player.GetItemCount NukaCola < 1 )
ShowMessage HD00NukaMachineWithout
set GoNuka to 1
endif
endif

end

begin gamemode

set Button to GetButtonPressed

if ( Button == 0 ) && ( GoNuka >= 1 )
Activate
set GoNuka to 0
elseif ( Button == 1 ) && ( GoNuka == 2 )
set NukasOnMe to ( Player.GetItemCount NukaCola )
Player.RemoveItem NukaCola NukasOnMe
HD01NukaMachineRef.AddItem MS05IceNukaCola NukasOnMe
set NukasOnMe to 0
set GoNuka to 0
elseif ( Button == 1 ) && ( GoNuka == 1 )
;Do Nothing
set GoNuka to 0
elseif ( Button == 2 ) && ( GoNuka == 2 )
;Do Nothing
set GoNuka to 0
endif

end

 

 

the item id for water is[ IceWater ]
