[SKY] Add / Remove Faction from a REFerenced Actor

[Ashenfire]

I am working on a script to activate a dwarven automaton then choose a target for it to attack.

I got the activation to work.  I added an option to disable it as well.

The only thing left is to choose a target for it to attack.

I am doing this via FACTIONS.

 

I can not get the lever to change the actor's faction.

I managed to change the players faction with a lever  but that is not what I want.

 

Script so far compiles but does not have the necessary command in the

function (it changes the players faction, not the automaton).

Scriptname DisableAndEnableReferencedObjectsAsh extends ObjectReference Conditional
{ 1. LinkREf a Lever to any object
  2. Paste ONLY this script in the lever Script area
}
import debug
import utility

ObjectReference property objSelf auto hidden
Faction property DwarvenAutomatonFaction auto
Faction property akFaction auto

bool property isInPullPosition = True Auto
{Push turns it off  Pull turns it on}
EVENT OnLoad()
SetDefaultState()
endEVENT

Event OnReset()
SetDefaultState()
EndEvent

;This has to be handled as a function, since OnLoad and OnReset can fire in either order, and we can't handle competing animation calls.
Function SetDefaultState()
if (isInPullPosition)
  playAnimation("FullPull")
  gotoState("pulledPosition")
Else
  playAnimation("FullPush")
  gotoState("pushedPosition")
EndIf
EndFunction

Auto STATE pulledPosition
EVENT onActivate (objectReference triggerRef)
  gotoState ("busy")
               ObjectReference Tempref = GetlinkedRef()

              isInPullPosition = False
  playAnimationandWait("FullPush","FullPushedUp")
  gotoState("pushedPosition")
endEVENT
endState

STATE pushedPosition
EVENT onActivate (objectReference triggerRef)
  gotoState ("busy")
              ObjectReference Tempref = GetlinkedRef()
              PerformActionDisable(Tempref)

  isInPullPosition = True
  playAnimationandWait("FullPull","FullPulledDown")
  gotoState("pulledPosition")
endEVENT
endState

STATE busy
; This is the state when I'm busy animating
  EVENT onActivate (objectReference triggerRef)
   ;do nothing
  endEVENT
endSTATE

Function AddToFaction(Faction akfaction)
  game.getplayer().addtofaction(akFaction)
EndFunction

Function PerformActionDisable(ObjectReference Target)
     setdefaultstate()
Target.Disable()
EndFunction

Function PerformActionEnable(ObjectReference Target)
         Target.Enable()
EndFunction

 

What am I missing?  CreationKit.com does not explain the relationship well as

 it mostly gives raw code to use.

Issue reolved.

 

This script can be put on any lever and the values can be changed to

make an actor be removed from a faction or added to a faction.
