how to teleport NPC in player cell ?

[Delzaron]

Hi

 

I'm working on a quest where a creature will hunt the player...

 

So, if the player goes into a space (out or in) outside town and villages, the creature will teleport near the player, and follow him.

 

I tired something, but it's not working...

 

Here's the hunting script :

 

Event OnLocationChange(Location akOldLoc, Location akNewLoc)
    if (Game.GetPlayer().GetCurrentLocation() == akOldLoc && (aNovel_werewolf as aNovel_werewolfScript).WerewolfHunt == 0)
            debug.notification("The werewolf is hunting you...")
            If akOldLoc != (WhiterunLocation && akNewLoc != WindhelmLocation && akNewLoc != SolitudeLocation && akNewLoc != MarkarthLocation && akNewLoc != RiftenLocation && akNewLoc != MorthalLocation && akNewLoc != RiverwoodLocation  && akNewLoc != DragonBridgeLocation && akNewLoc != RoriksteadLocation && akNewLoc != HelgenLocation)
                debug.notification("Something is lurking...")
                If akNewLoc != (WhiterunLocation && akNewLoc != WindhelmLocation && akNewLoc != SolitudeLocation && akNewLoc != MarkarthLocation && akNewLoc != RiftenLocation && akNewLoc != MorthalLocation && akNewLoc != RiverwoodLocation  && akNewLoc != DragonBridgeLocation && akNewLoc != RoriksteadLocation && akNewLoc != HelgenLocation)  
                    debug.messagebox("The Werewolf jumped on you!")
                    aNovel_WerewolfREF.Moveto(playerref)
                    utility.wait(2)
                    (aNovel_werewolf as aNovel_werewolfScript).WerewolfRapePlayer()
                Else
                    ;Nothing Happens
                EndIf
            EndIf
    endIf
endEvent
 

 

I also wish to force that beast to follow the player (actually, it doesn't move his ass), and to teleport not on the player, but near him...

Haven't tested myself but maybe use an optional Quest Alias set to Forced:None. Add a Follow/ Travel package, tweaked to your likings, to that alias.

 

Then 

 

ReferenceAlias property FollowAlias auto

 

FollowAlias.ForceRefTo(aNovel_WerewolfREF)

aNovel_WerewolfREF.EvaluatePackage() ; this line might not be needed

 

On appearing near the player but not right on the player. Doesn't MoveTo have parameter for this? From CreationKit website:

 

Function MoveTo(ObjectReference akTarget, float afXOffset = 0.0,

  float afYOffset = 0.0, float afZOffset = 0.0, bool abMatchRotation = true) native

 

; Moves a portal 120 units in front of the player, 35 units under their height

Actor PlayerRef = Game.GetPlayer()

Portal.MoveTo(PlayerRef, 120.0 * Math.Sin(PlayerRef.GetAngleZ()), 120.0 * Math.Cos(PlayerRef.GetAngleZ()), PlayerRef.GetHeight() - 35.0)

 

On why your event is not working, I could only guess that it's because a location can be quite big (a few cells combined). Try OnCellLoad instead. There is also the IsInInterior() function that might be useful

Hum... he still doesn't want to move to the player... I'll try to just set the city smallworlds as forbidden zones, I'll see...

[Delzaron]

Now this fucking creatrure is timid, and never attacks... I set her as aggresive as possible, for god sake !

[Delzaron]

I got a new idea...

 

is player sleep, the creature found him... it's work...

 

Now I wish to check if player is in interior cell, and if the cell is owned by player...

 

And finnaly, if player is in wilderness...

 

edit : the two fist conditions works easily, now I just need to check if player is outside a city, or in wilderness...

I had this condition for Kidnapped

 

Location[] Property TownLocations Auto; add all the towns and exterior cities in the properties (Riverwood, Falkreath, etc)

 

If !PlayerRef.IsInInterior() && TownLocations.Find(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation()) < 0

; ....

endif

If !PlayerRef.IsInInterior() && TownLocations.Find(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation()) < 0

 

Do you think this line will work ?

 

(!PlayerRef.IsInInterior() && TownLocations.Find(PlayerRef.GetCurrentLocation()) seems better, no ?

 

I'll try your solution...

 

At least, the Hound find the player when he reaches home...

 

Edit : thanks, it's working quite well ! nothing will stop the Hound !
