[SKY] Horrifying scripts

[shogran]

I've looked, And looked. but I may not have looked super all the way thorough to see if this had been done in some way or was taken care of in game somehow. But I want a script that administers a command when the pc kills an npc. preferably with a specific weapon. I want it to happen everytime The PC actually kills any npc at all. Any of them. Even Ulfric Stormcloak. The result I want is pretty simple to code, infact the whole script should be easy but there seems to be "onpckilledanynpc" call function in papyrus. Can I get a hand oh great and mighty scripting gods?

Ok, it's too early to think clearly, but I believe i may have found some stuff to help you out.

So, first you need to learn the OnDeath() function. Now we need to attach to every single NPC. Yay!

 

Or we could just dynamically attach the script to any Npcs in our area. Combined with a simple check to see if the player was involved with the death using an OnHit() we can create a script to do whatever it is you want.

Ondeath... Could we make it so On hit- attaches script to npc that sets  ondeath to do the action to the player?

[Walrus]

OnHit() only registers when the Object IS hit. Not when the Object DOES hit someone. So no. You could attach it to yourself, and then attach the OnDeath() to the thing that hits you, but what about when you one-hit kill them?

[shogran]

Right. But I don't want everything around me to have the effect. What If I don't kill them and something else does? I want the effect to start when they are hit with the specific weapon.. so maybe an enchantment on the weapon that gives the spell to the other npc and then that spell, have it with ondeath do the action to the player?

[Walrus]

What is it you want to happen when this NPC dies? How many NPCS are we talking about? If this is a boss it'd be alot easier than a faction.

For instance, if it's just a single NPC or a small amount, you could just add this script to them:

Event OnDeath(Actor akKiller)
if (akKiller == Game.GetPlayer())
endIf
endEvent

I want it to be every person the player kills, aslong as its an npc. and yeah. That script you gave me is PERFECT for what happens.  But, I want it to be applied easily. I'm thinking 

EVENT onEffectStart(ACTOR akTarget, ACTOR akCaster)

If akTargetRace.HasKeyword(ActorTypeNPC) == 1

  akTarget.addspell ittickles

endif

endevent

 

and then. ittickles effect :

EVENT OnDeath(actor akKiller)

if (akKiller == game.getplayer())

 player.additem 0002e504 1

endif

endevent 

 

do you think that will work?

[shogran]

Nope. Not gonna happen that way. Oh to the wells.

You 'might' be able to put an enchantment on the weapon, that checks for death during its duration. It might catch 'most' of the deaths, but may not register the actual 'killing' blow if multiple targets are attacking the NPC. The games is not that dynamic to know that.

[Walrus]

So, Plan C.

Here's my thinking; You want to add a Black Soul Gem to your inventory everytime you kill an NPC. For lore purposes, only people can fill Black Soul Gems right? So we track the number of people killed by the player and give them a BSG everytime it updates. Here's how I THINK the script would look like;

 

BLAH BLAH SCRIPT NAME STUFF
 
Function DeathTracker
    RegisterForTrackedStatsEvent()
EndFunction
 
Event OnTrackedStatsEvent(string asStatfilter, int aiStatValue)
     if (asStatFilter == "People Killed")
          player.additem 0002e504 1
     endif
endEvent

 

This should give you a BSG everytime the People Killed Stat is updated. BUT I have never tried it and am talking out of my bytt basically. Hope it works though.

Scriptname AAASoulCreation extends activemagiceffect  

{This Script is For the Sword that Steals men souls}

 

SoulGem Property FilledBlackSoulGem Auto

 

Actor MySelf

Float Health

 

EVENT onEffectStart(ACTOR akTarget, ACTOR akCaster)

Debug.Notification("Soul")

MySelf = akTarget

Health = Myself.getActorvalue("Health")

endevent

 

Event OnUpdate()

Health = Myself.GetActorValue("Health")

endEvent

 

 

event Oneffectfinish(actor akTarget, actor akCaster)

 Health = Myself.GetActorValue("Health")

if Health < 1

game.getplayer().additem(FilledBlackSoulGem)

endif

endEvent 

 

^^ that didn't work. but it did compile.

Gonna keep hacking away at this afterall

And I got it.
