Scripting questions

[Rabid_Kiwi]

When you get up and start at it again have a look at this if you have not already done so https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=FormList_Script

Sorry for the deal i found an ethical debate and well I love me some good ethical debating.

[Vain]

Yeah, I've been looking at that one.

No output generated for AddtoForm, compilation failed.

Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Failed on AddtoForm

Headdesk, I can't think anymore.  I've tried rephrasing it in dozens of different ways with parentheses, periods, commas, you name it.  I'm going to sleep on it again...

I lied.

This compiled
 

Scriptname Vain01AddtoForm extends Form  

Import Game

FormList Property FormListThree Auto
Message Property FormListUpdated Auto
FormList Property FormListOne Auto
FormList Property FormListTwo Auto

Int RunOnce = 0

Event OnInit()

	If RunOnce == 0
		FormListOne.AddForm(FormListThree)
		FormListUpdated.Show()
		RunOnce = 1
	EndIf
EndEvent

In-game test shows the message is displaying at least...

If compiled then could you make an array ( or would you want to ) in place of formlistthree? IDK shot in the dark if the formlist inception theory does not pan out

First, I haven't read every post here.

There is an example of how to use AddForm in the CC content "Arcane Accessories". The script add forms to levelled lists, not form lists, but you can try the example below with form lists. You must have two properties:

• one for the levelled list  or form list where you want to add the form,
• one for the form you want to add

then use AddForm.

Example in the main Arcane Accesories quest script (qf_ccbgssse014_spellpack_sta_0100083c):

leveleditem property LItemSpellTomes75Destruction auto
book property ccBGSSSE014_SpellTome_Dest_MarasWrath auto

LItemSpellTomes75Destruction.AddForm(ccBGSSSE014_SpellTome_Dest_MarasWrath as form, 1, 1)

There are also tons of examples of how to use AddForm in the Hearthfires scripts, BYOHHoouseBuilding quest, and these seems to be about adding forms to form lists.

Ok so going off this wonderful advice, Ty by the by, I went through the script and found this

        ;----------------------------------
        ;| DLC01 -> Adoption System Setup  | 
        ;----------------------------------
        ;Add the DLC01 Daggers to the childrens' gift lists.
        Form BYOHDragonboneDagger = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x00014FCB, sDLC01Filename)
        Form BYOHPrelateDagger = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x0001681F, sDLC01Filename)
        BYOHRelationshipAdoptionPlayerGiftChildMale.AddForm(BYOHDragonboneDagger)
        BYOHRelationshipAdoptionPlayerGiftChildFemale.AddForm(BYOHDragonboneDagger)
        BYOHRelationshipAdoptionPlayerGiftChildMale.AddForm(BYOHPrelateDagger)
        BYOHRelationshipAdoptionPlayerGiftChildFemale.AddForm(BYOHPrelateDagger)
        ;Add the DLC01 Dawnguard Dogs to the potential pet lists.
        Form BYOHHuskyBareCompanionRace = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x000122B7, sDLC01Filename)
;         ;Debug.Trace("Adding: " + BYOHHuskyBareCompanionRace)
        BYOHRelationshipAdoption_PetAllowedRacesList.AddForm(BYOHHuskyBareCompanionRace)
        BYOHRelationshipAdoption_PetDogsList.AddForm(BYOHHuskyBareCompanionRace)
        Form BYOHHuskyArmoredCompanionRace = Game.GetFormFromFile(0x00003D01, sDLC01Filename)
;         ;Debug.Trace("Adding: " + BYOHHuskyArmoredCompanionRace)
        BYOHRelationshipAdoption_PetAllowedRacesList.AddForm(BYOHHuskyArmoredCompanionRace)
        BYOHRelationshipAdoption_PetDogsList.AddForm(BYOHHuskyArmoredCompanionRace)

 

This was a good segment that showed using .AddFrom to add to formlist. now by looking at your script Vain and compairing it the one you compiled should do what you want. That is to add to the formlist via AddFrom

Once again LadyonTheMoon shines a light while Rabid_Kiwi fumbled in the dark. lolz 

 

SO going off of that your command should be

           flPLanterPlantedFlora.AddForm(Nirnroot)

Only thing is that this formlist will only add it to the already planted list so if you want nirnroot plantable you will also need to use this

         flPlanterPlantableItem.Addform(Nirnroot)

 

Hope this helps and again ty Ladyonthemoon for pointing us to a script.

[Vain]

I hope adding the formlist with the objects works because I can't seem to add the objects directly without SKSE (arrays are the same issue) as scripts can't natively contain any TreeObject properties.

Skyrim just doesn't have TreeObject defined.  Very sad.

well I created a small mod to test the addform script I made to add nirnroot to a planter and You can plant it but there is something blocking it from growing it seems so the addform works 

This was the script I used in a quest to do it if it helps ya

Scriptname _ZZRKNirn extends Quest Hidden 

Formlist property flPlanterPlantableItem Auto
Formlist property  flPLanterPlantedFlora Auto
Ingredient property Nirnroot Auto

Event OnInit()
       flPlanterPlantableItem.Addform(Nirnroot)
       flPlanterPlantableItem.Addform(Nirnroot)
       Debug.Notification("well I worked")
EndEvent

I think you must use the category of the object; like "Armor" for armours, "Book" for books, and so on. If the category you are looking for doesn't exist, all you have to do is create it.

You'll know soon enough if it works or not, no need for searching the web or asking here and there for that. Especially when people have only one kind of fast and easy answer: "use skse".

Would that not be under tree. So tree property {What ever tree data you are using here} ? Or did I ask a stupid question.

 

to expand a bit like 

Tree Property BYOHHouseIngrdNirnroot01 auto

If Vain has it right (I cannot check right now) it should be:

TreeObject Property BYOHHouseIngrdNirnroot01 Auto

Yeah, that specifically is an SKSE addition.  Without SKSE you can't use TreeObject as a property.  I will continue to work on this and let you know what results I get.

Did you even try? You can create it; just add it to the existing list by writing it. How do you think the sksa guys did it?

[Vain]

I didn't even know there was a list that can be user modified easily.  I thought SKSE modified the Skyrim executable

As I said, I'll have to Google

You don't need to do that; just add the property I wrote earlier manually to your script, fill it in the properties manager and see if it compiles.

Sorry about that, it's not TreeObject, it's Flora.

The property that works is

Flora Property BYOHHouseIngrdNirnroot01 Auto

Flora is an existing type.

Okay, this doesn't work either, since BYOHHouseIngrdNirnroot01 is not a Flora type of object, it's a Tree, and the Tree type doesn't exist. I thought first that we could just create it on the fly but it doesn't seem to be possible, but, if the skse guys did it, I'm pretty sure we can do it too; we just need the knowledge.

In the meantime, what about ... (I'm back after some tests)

Edited March 14, 2018 by ladyonthemoon

[oldladyonthemoon]

@VainLet's see if I understand what you need to do:

1. you need to add the Nirnroot ingredient to the flPlanterPlantableItem form list,
2. you need to add the BYOHHouseIngrdNirnroot01 Tree to the flPlanterPlantedFlora form list.

The first thing shouldn't be too difficult to do since the Ingredient property type exists; the second is problematic since the Tree property type doesn't exist. It exists in skse but, for some reason doesn't work? Is that it?

If you do not want to modify the form list, you can add a new levelled list containing the tree.

1. create a levelled list and add the BYOHHouseIngrdNirnroot01 tree to it, check "use all",
2. add the new levelled list to the flPlanterPlantableItem form list by script.

flPlanterPlantableItem.AddForm(NewLevelledList)

I hope this can help.

It might help... the end goal is to create something like the add to leveled list script.  Make it possible for mods that add plantables to work in concert as each uses a script to add their plants instead of each modifying and overwriting the form list manually.

Everything I did did not test out to work soo sry for wasting your time i edited out my processes

You can do that, add a new levelled list containing the tree to the form list by script. I modified my post.

[Vain]

Okay... further testing shows that tree objects can also not be added to Leveled Lists.  There's a BYOHHouseIngredient<x> and there's a BYOHHouseIngrd<x>... and the Ingrd's are trees and the Ingredients are... those loose ingredients you find lying around in the houses.  A few of the items are Flora objects though.  Soul husks, Chaurus, Hawk, Pine Thrush, and Rock Warbler nests are Flora objects... so I should be able to test a working script with them.
