Creation Kit, Papyrus TriggerReference - argh!^^

[Harlekin]

Hey, i'll hope im right here.. i have an strange Problem and i will try to discribe it right..^^
 
 
Ill try to make an simple portal-Script
 

Scriptname Rikushai_Ryugan_PortalPortScript extends ObjectReference  
 
ObjectReference Property OtherPortal  Auto  
SPELL Property CooldownSpell  Auto  
MagicEffect Property CDCondition  Auto  
 
bool Function HasMagicEffect(MagicEffect akEffect) native
 
Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akTriggerRef)
 
if !(Game.GetPlayer().HasMagicEffect(CDCondition))
 
CooldownSpell.Cast(akTriggerRef, akTriggerRef)
akTriggerRef.MoveTo(OtherPortal)
Utility.Wait(2.0)
 
endIf
 
 
EndEvent

for the player-character it works fine... after an teleportion, you become an debuff for 15 secounds that forbid to reteleport ( so you dont flicker between the Portals.)

 

But that wont work for NPC's - of course while "Game.GetPlayer()" speaks to the player. if i change "Game.GetPlayer()" to "akTriggerRef" sould it work but it wont... ._. ill become an fail-Log

Here some code and some explanations

 

Scriptname Rikushai_Ryugan_PortalPortScript extends ObjectReference  
 
ObjectReference Property OtherPortal Auto  
SPELL Property CooldownSpell Auto  
MagicEffect Property CDCondition Auto  

Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akTriggerRef)
  Actor triggerer = akTriggerRef as Actor
  if triggerer && !triggerer.HasMagicEffect(CDCondition)
    CooldownSpell.Cast(triggerer, triggerer)
    triggerer.MoveTo(OtherPortal)
    Utility.Wait(2.0)
  endIf
EndEvent

HasMagicEffect applies to Actors not to ObjectReferences. But you can cast an ObjectReference to an Actor.

In case the cast will work then the Ref is an actual actor, and you can check the magic effect and cast the spell if you need.

In this case your script will work for any posible NPC and the Player.

thank you so much, that will solve also some other problems with some other of my Scripts too - Really, thank you

[Guest]

No problem.

[Harlekin]

No problem.

 

just one more question: Can it be, that the magic effect 'if' works only in this instance of the script that added the Magic effect? otherwise i cant explain why my first portal respect the if condition but the 2. not .. xD

[Guest]

I am not sure about what you are asking, sorry.

[Harlekin]

the problem is - i get an instant teleport back, if i use an Portal. The 2. Portal ignore the If-Condition.. why ever. i will try for some moments.. and then i delete the triggers and made it with activators

 

but i know then my next problem... "Npcs dosent uses my Portals!" xDD 

 

edit:!! 

Its alive.. eeeh its Work!... i dont know why but it works! xD .. after i deleted all and made it again on the same way o.O ... who cares.. it works! xDDD.. can now be closed/deleted or something like that

 

Thanks again.^^

OK.

If you use Activators, then you need to add AI Packages to the NPCs to use them. Not easy.

Triggers are better.

 

Can I ask what the Magic Effect does? How is it defined? It expires after a few seconds?

 

I think you use the magic effect to understand if you come from the other portal. And it is OK to do so.

Do not have any script in the magic effect, and probably no visual effects (up to you), but be sure it lasts for a few seconds (30 seconds for example) so when you go in the next portal the trigger effect will not run.

Then, when the magic effect is removed by the tie expiration, the portal will do the job again.

The code is already good like that. Probably you just need to specify a few seconds for the magic effect to last (about 30 secs should be fine.)

oh i edit my last post. okay, again^^ it works now i had an bug.. i dont know where but after i started that new with new triggers... works.^^

 

The magic effect is (for now) completely without FX.. and it is only for the cooldown. If the magic effect works on you you are not able to walk threw an Portal. Youre right.^^

i had an cooldown for 15 sec.

 

I think one of my Portals was a bit buggy from Changing scripts from my "working"process ... or maybe more testing Process. xD

 

Now i'm happy.

 

and now comes two spells (or maybe one if i can handle that) to change the Position of the Portals.^^
