Fallout New Vegas GECK & Scripting Help 101

*Halstrom* · March 27, 2014

I think there's a Function to get the ref of the current cell, just copy compare that against the cell name of the last time the script ran and if it's not the same run it again.

ArgusSCCT · March 27, 2014

I don't know about that, I've checked both the GECK wiki and the NVSE commands list, there doesn't appear to be anything that returns a cell name. I know there's GetInSameCell which returns a 0 or a 1, previously I was using that to try and reinitialize the script, but it didn't work, probably because the NPC I was looking for was not in the same cell as the player and thus the script would get reinitialized.

There's also that issue in which NPCs start equipping and unequipping their weapons, or staying still and refusing to fight. I'm guessing that's one of the problems of using AddItem, but I can't use AddItemToLeveledList, since it means breaking people's saves and my saves whenever I may want to remove something.

*astymma* · March 27, 2014

GetParentCell called on a reference returns the cell they're currently located in.

ref.GetParentCell

So you should be able to do a comparison...

if (ActorREF.GetParentCell == SavedParentCellREF)
    ;do stuff
else
    ;do other stuff
endif

Thanks, sorry for asking these questions, it's just that whenever I script and things start messing up, I start losing my head over it. It's also my first time with Fallout anyway and some of the functions don't really have the names I'd have expected.

I would have my questions concerning scanners too.

I'm going to optimize my scanner because even if it's working , as you say it's not a reliable solution (I found it, it was working with many other heavy mods, but when I introduced a heavy ENB the script stopped working, I assume it couldn't finish to scan in its frame. ENBs are really heavy to be handled! :-O)

So, to sum up:

- Actually I scan creatures and everytime it scans a creature I check many IF to see if it can become my prey.

- What you suggested me was to put it in two different stages: one stage I fill a list with all the creatures, another stage I check every element of that list with the same IFs, to see if they are possible preys. In case they are not, I remove the element from the list.

Now this is a solution I can understand, but ... well I never worked with lists in that way so I have many doubts

1 - Should I first create on GECK an empty list, call it something like MyForm, and then fill it by script? I mean one of those FLST objects?

2 - To fill a list, should I simply do MyScannedREF.ListAddReference MyForm MyIndex? But... why there's no ListRemoveReference? How am I supposed to clean the list later?

3 - To set MyIndex, should I simply have an INT which starts with 0 and I increase it by 1 everytime I add an item to the list?

4 - Bethesda guide says to use AddFormToFormList if I want the values be persistent across savegames, but... does it allow me to add MyScannedRef? or it only admits other FormLists?

5 - What is a ... NthForm? Or better, is it useful in this case?

------------

I also would like to understand how to structure that script, it's mainly a matter of concept. Putting all these conditions inside the Loop itself can lead to the script to not finish in the current frame (as I can easily see when I turn on heavy ENBs). But how checking a list is supposed to finish in the same frame? I mean I really doubt it. Let me write an example.

MY ACTUAL SCRIPT:

Label

Scan the reference

Check the reference

Goto until the Scan is completed

MY FUTURE SCRIPT

Stage 1

Label

Scan the reference

Fill a list

Goto until the Scan is completed

Stage 2

Check the elements in the list

If my first script doesn't finish to run in a frame, I really doubt that the second one will do. Now, really, if I don't put Stage 2 in another separated script, I will have the same script as in the first case, just longer and written in a different way: how it is supposed to run better? maybe because if the script breaks it will be break when it's already outside the scan loop? Maybe because even if it will break, it will have already reduced the list of some elements, so in the next frame it will complete?

Or should I create a separate quest and put that Stage 2 inside that and it will be triggered when Stage 1 finishes its scan?

EDIT: I'm avoiding arrays for now, I'm still far away from there, I would like "not to put too much meat to cook, if I'm not starved"...

ArgusSCCT · March 27, 2014

So I tried using GetParentCell to restart the quest nothing happens, I tried doing it without the start/stop quest functions, so that the script would just read the conditional I used in case there was a cell change. It didn't work, not when I moved to another cell. I've stopped the quest but I don't know how to stop it.

The last lines are what I'm using to stop the quest and later on reinitialize it.

It didn't work, not when I moved to another cell. I've stopped the quest but I don't know how to stop it.

Here's what I did:

The last lines are what I'm using to stop the quest and later on reinitialize it.

What about storing the player position instead the one of a scanned reference? since the scanner's depth has the player as "center". Inside doonce == 0 you store the current position, then you set doonce to 1 and you check the new position on the stage doonce == 1, in case the position changes you re-set doonce to 0 and the new position will be stored, etc. In this case you wouldn't need to start or stop the quest

ArgusSCCT · March 27, 2014

Excellent, that solved the issue. Thank you for the good suggestion.

EDIT: Success!! It's finally done. Thank you everyone, for your help.

March 29, 2014

How can I use the new reference I just Created in other scripts?

I place a new NPC near player in quest script

ref Cruck

set aamq05ghouls.Cruck to Player.PlaceAtMe aaamq05Cruck 1 1

Then I want to use Cruck in another script.

For example, I create additional quest after this quest and I want to give Cruck 100 caps.

So I type:

aamq05ghouls.Cruck.additem f 1000

And GECK says that Syntax is wrong. What can I do?

***DoctaSax*** · March 29, 2014

You pass him to a ref var first

set rRef to aamq05ghouls.cruck

rRef.additem etc.

Anyone care to look at some code?

I've used this menu structure in another script that only used one button (as opposed to multiple button vars) and checked a sub-level, and it worked fine.

No matter what I pick on the first menu, it always goes to the Oral menu. The anims selected from there don't match the numbers. For example, Button 9 ([Next]) starts animation 232.

Does anyone know the reason why script doesn't work?

In vanilla dialogue in result script I type.

Startquest aamq05ghouls

set aamq05ghouls.stage to 2

In stage 0 I have

set aamq05ghouls.Cruck to Player.PlaceAtMe aaamq05Cruck 1 1

I did this with quest stage because I need to spawn him instantly, then wait for "set aamq05ghouls.stage to 2" reaction(usually a couple of seconds with default script delay)

The whole script is:

end

After dialogue with Cruck(which starts after "Stage ==2") in "Result Script" I type "Set aamq05ghouls.stage to 4"

And nothing happens!(Sciencist are not added to player faction and Cruck doesn't equip mask which he should equip - he has it in his inventory and he did it before)

And funny thing is - after vanilla dialogue( where I set stage to 2)- everything works(Conversation with Cruck starts).

All result scripts in conversation works(I tried typing player.kill to result script and it worked)

And stage 4 worked before, I don't know what I did to spoil it.

Ps. Stage 3 doesn't work too.

>>>>set aamq05ghouls.Cruck to Player.PlaceAtMe aaamq05Cruck 1 1

First of all, there's no Cruck variable in your Quest. Second, I don't know that that would work anyway. I'm guessing that you're trying to set his reference?

I suggest setting Cruck to initially disabled (the Edit menu that you find in the window that shows you every item that's in a loaded cell when you right-click on an item/NPC). On that same Edit window, make sure that you've set the Reference Name for Cruck. That way, you'll know his reference and won't have to assign it unless you have some other script where you have to GetSelf (which sets the ref for you anyway).

So instead, I would suggest that you move the Cruck's placement into the cell where the NPC is that the Player has to talk to (or right outside of it to have him run in case the player is looking in his direction so s/he won't see him spawn) and then give him a StartConversation package targeting the player. Use a var in your quest script as a condition on it to make sure that the package only executes once. You can set it to 1 in the EndScript of the package.

RE: My menu issue...

My quest has a .25 delay since it's hotkey based (SexKey/Rape Game++). Adding a Stage variable allows the correct menu to be selected (Sex Type -> Position Options) when initiated with 2p (or it did before I added the Stage2 to try to rectify it not making the right selection after that). It doesn't work from there, so there must be something going on with the script getting interrupted, which doesn't really make sense to me since once the character type has been determined, an OnAdd item script (an example shown in my previous post) should take the rest of it (with the exception of the UDF inside of the scripts for people).

The script worked previously with Deathclaws and Cazadors (haven't tested since trying to add stages, but obviously they are short enough to process), but isn't working with people, which have the extensive menus.

@nyaallich

Just out of curiosity, which menumode type are you running that menu options script in? Most examples of tiered menu systems seem to use gamemode as the default for catching the getbuttonpresseds, and I have a hunch - not that they're worth much today - that, the messagebox itself also being a menumode, that could be getting tangled up. So maybe try specifying the menumode type in the block (1009 for dialog, 1002 for inventory etc) so that the messagebox interrupts it.

*nyaalich* · March 29, 2014

Cipsis had the button catches in the MenuMode block, and like I said, it worked on a long menu message sequence in another mod. Not that that matters. It just confuses me.

It's a menu that pops-up like with Preg's medical scanner. So without opening Preg to check if it states it, I'd guess it's 1001.

*Halstrom* · March 29, 2014

I think from memory the medical scanner script may be in SCR still as it wasn't meant to be just a Pregnancy scanner, it also scans drugs too.

*nyaalich* · March 29, 2014

Godamnit. Or maybe I'm an idiot who's getting mods stuff into a jumble of "what am I supposed to use where" mental stew.

***DoctaSax*** · March 29, 2014

I think you need some returns when you advance to a submenu, iButton will be stuck on your choice for the main level.

*nyaalich* · March 29, 2014

The scanner uses MenuMode. /Trivia

EDIT: I'm not sure exactly what the difference is with using GameMode and MenuMode to handle menus. GameMode ended up being what I needed. Unlike GameMode, in my other script that MenuMode, MenuMode works without the Returns.

I understand that I need to put him somewhere in GECK and give him ReferenceID. I'll try to do it and see if this solves the whole problem with script.

Menumode blocks only run when the game is paused and in menu mode (pip boy open, conversation dialogs showing, etc). Gamemode blocks only run when the game is running and the clock isn't paused.

So you can't use a gamemode block to catch events and such when a menu is being shown, and you can't use a menumode block to catch events that happen when the game is actually running.

Sometimes you need a mix of both. The stupid sexout thing to get the last conversation partner to check that a dialog callback has fired works like that. It can only do the checks in gamemode, but the only time it can get the current conversation partner is during dialog -- menu mode.

So every time it goes into a conversation menu it starts saving the current dialog partner to a quest variable that the gamemode block can then compare against the value in the dialog reference value.

There's no blocktype that runs in both modes.
