A script

[noname35]

Is there a script for everything? Like a script that opens a force cage?

[Fastmaniac]

I think you mean energy cages, do you? For example the cages when you are held 'hostage' by the TSF? I tried decompiling a few scripts, but they all failed. Reading from the Bytecode of the compiled script I'd say the 'energy' around the cage is an object that is destroyed with a fade. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge could look at that:

I think you mean energy cages, do you? For example the cages when you are held 'hostage' by the TSF? I tried decompiling a few scripts, but they all failed. Reading from the Bytecode of the compiled script I'd say the 'energy' around the cage is an object that is destroyed with a fade. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge could look at that:

 

Yep, that's the one. Do you know anyone who might know more about it?

[Fastmaniac]

I posted the code above for anyone who might be able to help. I know stoffe knows how to convert the code. Can't think of anyone else right now. If you want to figure it out by yourself, take a look at this: Link

[JCarter426]

The force cages use model animations. This is the script I use for these, though it will only work in K2:

void main() {

string sTag = GetScriptStringParameter();

int iAnim = GetScriptParameter(1);
int iSpeed = GetScriptParameter(2);
int iLength = GetScriptParameter(3);
int iDelay = GetScriptParameter(4);
int iNearest = GetScriptParameter(5);


if (iSpeed == 0) iSpeed = 1;


if (iNearest == 0) iNearest = 1;


if (sTag == "") {
	object oTarget = GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, OBJECT_SELF, iNearest);
	DelayCommand(IntToFloat(iDelay), AssignCommand(oTarget, ActionPlayAnimation(iAnim, IntToFloat(iSpeed), IntToFloat(iLength))));

	}

else {
	object oTarget = GetNearestObjectByTag(sTag, OBJECT_SELF, iNearest);
	DelayCommand(IntToFloat(iDelay), AssignCommand(oTarget, ActionPlayAnimation(iAnim, IntToFloat(iSpeed), IntToFloat(iLength))));

	}

}

The only parameter that is absolutely required is #1. For off, input 202 and for on, 204. If you need it for K1, you'll have to break it up into separate scripts and replace the variables with what you need.

Is there a script for everything?

 

What do you mean by everything?

[noname35]

What do you mean by everything?

 

Well not literally everything, but everything possible by game standards. For example, making random commoners attack you or making enemys do damage to themselves?

[newbiemodder]

Basically, every action you see is done via script whether it's people walking, fighting, doors opening/closing, etc is done via scripts

[Scorge]

I don't think you can control everything with one script though. If thats what your asking.......Its done via a few scripts.

[Hassat Hunter]

And you don't even need to make scripts for that, just use prefab like spawndead, or a_atkonend. Though groups need a custom script...

[noname35]

So all scripts are loaded into the game, but placing new scripts in the override folder tells the game to do new things? (I'm new at scripting)

[Fastmaniac]

Every file you put in the override folder is added to the game's 'inventory'. If a script with the same name already exists in the 'inventory' is it overwritten by your custom script. Now, the script is only executed when the game wants it to be executed (ie triggered via conversation, trigger, etc.). The script is not executed just by putting it in the override, if that's what you're asking.

[JCarter426]

So all scripts are loaded into the game, but placing new scripts in the override folder tells the game to do new things? (I'm new at scripting)

Not new things, no. The game only has a certain number of functions, defined in NWScript. All the other individual scripts use these functions in different combinations. NWScript is like the dictionary, and the other scripts are sentences. So yes, new as in not done in that exact manner already, but not completely new, since there are certain limitations. There are certain game engines with which you could do that, but this is not one of them; actually, this one is very restrictive, at least in my experience - I'm by no means an expert, but I have modded for a handful of games, most with much greater ease than these.

[noname35]

Ok, that really makes sense. Thanks for your help.
