Need to help in creating a mod

[Noura]

Hi everyone

 

I hope that everything is going well with you

 

I have been trying to create a simple mod for more than two months and till now I couldn't make it work

 

Simple, I am trying to attach a script to the player in Skyrim. I want to show some messages based on the actions of the player.

 

 

I created an empty quest, attached my script (that extends Quest) in the scripts tab and created a reference alias that is linked to the Player. I have been trying to use Papyrus events and show some messages but till now only oninit() event is working. For example, I tried to show some messages when the player is killed by another actor but I couldn't make it work. I also tried to increase/decrease the healing potion but I don't know how to do it!!

 

I will be happy if anyone can explain the steps that I have to follow to make it work. I really need your help

 

My second problem is that I want to read some data from an external file and use these data in my Papyrus script. I was looking for a tutorial that explains how I can do that but I couldn't fine any!!

 

 

I am looking forward your help, suggestions and recommendataions :wub:

Your comments are much appreciated

Thank you very much :good:

Welcome to TESA, Noura.

 

It might help if you explained your issue a little bit more, like posting your current script you're using and what doesn't work about it. Also what kind of external file do you mean that you're trying to get data from?

Thank you very much Hanaisse   

 

Basically, I want to attach the script to the player and here is what I did in detail: 

 

I chose on the quests that are available in the creation kit, edited it and in the scripts tab, I attached this script:

 

Scriptname nourascript3 extends Quest

int count

Potion Property itemToAddPotion Auto 

Int Property ItemCount = 1 Auto 

Actor Property PlayerREF Auto 

Event OnInit() ; This event will run once, when the script is initialized

count=count+1

Debug.MessageBox("Message 1")

Debug.MessageBox("Message 2")

Debug.MessageBox(" Message 3")

RegisterForSingleUpdate(2)

EndEvent

Event OnUpdate() 

count=count+2

if count==3

Debug.MessageBox(" Message 4")

 

Endif

bool playerIsDead = Game.GetPlayer().IsDead()

 

if playerIsDead==true

Debug.MessageBox("the player is dead")

else

Debug.MessageBox("he is alive")

Endif

if Game.GetPlayer().IsBleedingOut()

Game.GetPlayer().ResetHealthAndLimbs()

else

Game.GetPlayer().AddItem(itemToAddPotion, 2000)

endif

EndEvent

bool Function IsDead() native

Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference akActionRef)

If akActionRef == PlayerREF ; This condition ensures that only the player will trigger this code

Debug.MessageBox("Yippee!")

EndIf

EndEvent

Event OnEnterBleedout()

  Debug.Trace("Unfortunately, I have entered my bleedout state :(")

endEvent

 

 

I have been trying to see whether the events execute while the player player Skyrim; however, only oninit() works when when the game starts and then nothing works. Although OnUpdate is supposed to work every 2 seconds, it only works one time when the game starts. Also, the events and statements highlighted in green don't work at all. If the code is not clear, I can rewrite everything, but please help me to attach any code to the player and make ti works  

 

 

The text file is .txt file which is resulted from a matlap code. I can put the data in a database, but how can I access the data in the creation kit (to be used in the papyrus script) ?

If you found anything unclear, please don't hesitate to comment on it

Thaaanks a alot

[HeyYou]

First part actually IS working. Count will equal three only once.
