Help with NiOverride please?

[chajapa]

I'm trying to change my follower's body shape through dialogue. I've never used NiOverride before and I'm having trouble getting this to work.

 

I have a script that contains the following:

 

Scriptname CheckStats extends Quest  conditional
{Check various stats}


SexLabFramework property SexLab auto
Actor property PlayerRef auto
SPELL Property MilkLeak  Auto  
Quest Property MME  Auto conditional
Quest Property ELV  Auto conditional
Alias Property Elsie  Auto
bool property isPreg auto conditional
String Property NIO_KEY = "CP_Elsie.esp" AutoReadOnly hidden
float property hip1 auto conditional
float property waist1 auto conditional
float property nipSize1 auto conditional
float property nipLength1 auto conditional
float property hipbone1 auto conditional
float property cleavage1 auto conditional


String property hips = "Hips" AutoReadOnly hidden
String property waist = "Waist" AutoReadOnly hidden
String property nipSize = "Nipplesize" AutoReadOnly hidden
String property nipLength = "Nipplelength" AutoReadOnly hidden
String property hipBone = "Hipbone" AutoReadOnly hidden
String property cleavage = "Breastcleavage" AutoReadOnly hidden


Function changes(ObjectReference ref)


 NiOverride.SetBodyMorph(ref,hips, NIO_KEY, hip1)
 NiOverride.SetBodyMorph(ref,waist, NIO_KEY, waist1)
 NiOverride.SetBodyMorph(ref,nipSize, NIO_KEY, nipSize1)
 NiOverride.SetBodyMorph(ref,nipLength, NIO_KEY, nipLength1)
 NiOverride.SetBodyMorph(ref,hipBone, NIO_KEY, hipbone1)
 NiOverride.SetBodyMorph(ref,cleavage, NIO_KEY, cleavage1)


EndFunction


Function applyChanges(ObjectReference ref)


 NiOverride.ApplyNodeOverrides(ref)


EndFunction

I get no errors compiling that.

The floats have set values in the properties.

for example, hip1 and hipbone1 have initial values of 0.6

The others have values that, if I were to use them in Racemenu, I would definitely see the difference.

 

In my dialogue I have script fragments at beginning and ending such that my script for the topic looks like this:

 

;BEGIN FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the end comment
;NEXT FRAGMENT INDEX 3
Scriptname ELV_testPregYes Extends TopicInfo Hidden


;BEGIN FRAGMENT Fragment_2
Function Fragment_2(ObjectReference akSpeakerRef)
Actor akSpeaker = akSpeakerRef as Actor
;BEGIN CODE
Stats.Changes(akSpeakerREF)
;END CODE
EndFunction
;END FRAGMENT


;BEGIN FRAGMENT Fragment_0
Function Fragment_0(ObjectReference akSpeakerRef)
Actor akSpeaker = akSpeakerRef as Actor
;BEGIN CODE
;
Stats.applyChanges(akSpeakerREF)
;END CODE
EndFunction
;END FRAGMENT


;END FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the begin comment


ELVMain property ELV auto conditional
SexLabFramework Property SexLab  Auto
Quest Property MME  Auto conditional  
Checkstats property Stats auto conditional
Alias property ElsieBody auto conditional
referenceAlias property ElsieREF auto conditional 

I get no errors compiling that either. Some of those properties I'm not using. Was trying different things to get this to work.

 

However when I test this in game, nothing happens. I tried dressing and undressing her, changing cells. Nope.

If I open racemenu on her (Using EFF as follow framework) I can adjust her UUNP morphs and that's definitely working.

Her body meshes are UUNP using zeroed sliders preset and tri files are there. If I make her a milkmaid or get her pregnant with soul gem oven, her body scales as it should. So I am assuming I'm just really clueless about how to get NiOverride to work.

 

Help appreciated

OK, well... with zero views I guess nobody saw this, but I got it working. This is for one specific character (the follow I created in this mod) so... after a bit of fiddling, I got it.

OK, it was several HOURS of fiddling... cause... trial and error, read the errors in papyrus logs, google those and see what causes them, try this...try that... 

 

Papyrus was not able to pass a NONE object or whatever... 

As it turns out, I had to set the property for the actor as an object reference in the script fragment as well as the script where the function resides.

 

BUT... now that I know how to do this, I can use it.
