Still got problems with it not saving even after changing it to GETDead.

Got a problem with line 9

Syntax error Invalid referance "aadiaFarwillREF" ( Only object references and reference variables are allowed in this context )

aadiaFarwillREF.Enable - this line, it's my duplicate farwill's persistant reference, I don't exactly understand much more than I might need to make a x marker ref perhaps but I am lost how to make the x marker suddenly enable my farwill and his horse.

Help please, and yes, I asked about this ages back at the forums, I put it aside for a fair while, not taking another look and see if I can make it work, if not, I suppose I'll be putting aside for another few months and come back to it asking again and trying to learn.

That is for a missing Object Reference, when you place you NPC in the render window, you will have the ability to double-click on it and give it a reference in the top bar of the box. Make sure you click the persistent reference check box down at the bottom to make the scripts and the game recognize it.

aadiaFarwillREF is my farwill's persistant reference and the persistant reference box is ticked.

He is initially Disabled because it would break immersion to have two exact same Farwill Indarys's in the game.

Yes it would be weird. I only asked because enable works best on disabled refs...:shrug:

Anyway, I copied your script and tried saving and got the same warning. Neither one of our CSs recognizes your ref. That might be stating the obvious, I know.

I can check your mod for you if you want to upload it somewhere. Post or PM the link. I have to go out soon but I'll be back in a couple hours. I know I can fix it but I don't know what to ask you. I'm more of a hands-on guy. :rofl:

Or you can sit on your hands and see if IS has an idea. Or Rider if/when he comes on.

Scriptname DianneFarwillQuest

    begin GameMode

    ;check if the player meets the requirements


    If ( GetStageDone MS13 100 == 1 ) || ( GetStageDone MS13 105 == 1 )

        aaFarwillREF.Enable; ref ID

    else

        If FarwilRef.getDead == 1 ;Ref ID

            aaFarwillREF.Disable; here his REF ID is used

            MidnightREF.Disable: again ref ID


            StopQuest aadiaFarwillQuest

        endif

    endif


    end[/code]



Saved!  When you use a reference in a script you must use the REF ID, the name at the top of the box that opens when you click on your reference in the render window.  So your NPC, the horse, and Farwill the 1st all need to be handled in scripts by their ref ids.  



I was going to ask you that - but I didn't.  :shrug:



Also, think of Eyja.  If Farwill 1 lives, he'll need to go away.  Forever.  So try a script that moves him somewhere after his quest is finished, and put him to sleep.  Permanently.  That's how madmole did it.  unworthy.gif

What about: 
Scriptname DianneFarwillQuest

    begin GameMode

    ;check if the player meets the requirements


    If ( GetStageDone MS13 100 == 1 ) || ( GetStageDone MS13 105 == 1 )

        aaFarwillREF.Enable; ref ID

        FarwilREF.Disable ; original farwill ref id

    else

        If FarwilRef.getDead == 1 ;Ref ID

            aaFarwillREF.Disable; here his REF ID is used

            MidnightREF.Disable: again ref ID


            StopQuest aadiaFarwillQuest

        endif

    endif


    end

Add the original Farwill Reference id and disable him ?

Edit: It Saved fine, now to test ingame...

I didn't test it...saved that part for you! You could disable Farwill for your personal mod. Matter of fact, I'm not sure why madmole didn't disable Eyja. Probably for safety's sake.

Thanks for your help, very much apreciated.

Would this magic effect spell work? It triggers a err animation for 60 secounds, or at least, it is supposed to.

scn DianneFarwillSexyTouchScript


;ref aaFarwillRef


;float timer

;short doOnce



;Begin ScriptEffectStart


;begin GameMode

     ;if ( doOnce == 0 )

         ;set timer to 60; Initialize the timer variable

         ;set doOnce to 1

         ;set aaFarwillRef to GetSelf

	;If ( aaFarwillRef.GetItemCount aadiaFarwillpants == 0 )

               ; aaFarwillRef.removeAllItems aaFarwillContainerREF

		;additem aadiaFarwillpants 1



;begin ScriptEffectFinish


        ;if ( timer > 0 )                                                

        ;set timer to timer - getSecondsPassed

        ;set doOnce to 0         

        ;If ( aaFarwillRef.GetItemCount aadiaFarwillpants == 1 )

               ;addItem SteelBoots aaFarwillREF

               ;additem SteelCuirass aaFarwillREF

               ;additem SteelGreaves  aaFarwillREF           

         ;RemoveSpell aadiaFarwillsexySpell

      ;endif

   ;endif

;END

Oh if you wonder why so many ; 's it's because it wouldn't save without them. Thanks.

Hi Red Dragon - This one saved, but I don't have the pants!  Try taking out the rest of the semicolons and saving now.  There were some simple syntax errors that are commented.  Good luck and lemme know!

Hi,

I am in need of some scripting help. I have created a spell which does ´´Damage Health´´, I also have added a script effect, a push back effect. But the damage health is touch, and the script is target. Here´s the problem, when I change them both to target, the script effect doesn´t work anymore, and when I touch an enemy it only does Damage Health and no push back effect. Also when they are both set to target, the effect is a Major Wound bolt, not the one I set it to. When the damage health is touch, then it shoots the bolt, for example my selected Frenzy effect, and the enemy gets knocked with the scripted effect, but recieves no damage at all.

Script: (this is the spell script for knock away)

scn 00TOAdesSpellScript


ref self

short index

ref caster


begin scripteffectstart

PlaySound SPLFrostHit

set self to getself

set index to GetScriptActiveEffectIndex 

set caster to GetNthActiveEffectCaster index

caster.pushactoraway self 50

end

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

You might want to check the "script effect always applies" checkbox in the spell window. I'm not sure why the effective changes with the target type, but you could always eliminate the damage health effect and do this instead: 
scn 00TOAdesSpellScript


ref self

short index

ref caster


begin scripteffectstart

PlaySound SPLFrostHit

set self to getself

set index to GetScriptActiveEffectIndex 

set caster to GetNthActiveEffectCaster index

caster.pushactoraway self 50

self.ModAV2 health -20

end

Replace -20 with the negative of what your damage health effect magnitude was. The ModAV2 works just like a spell does, and can be healed, so it pretty much is damage health without having to make an effect for it.
