Hi I want that a series of events start while the player is sleeping in a specific bed

this is what I Was thinking to do but I am not sure if it can work ...


Make an alias of the previous quest with the bed where the player should sleep

add a script to the bed

Scriptname Issgard_Cabinsleep extends ReferenceAlias   Function SomeFunction()  RegisterForSleep() ; Before we can use OnSleepStart we must register. EndFunction Event OnTriggerEnter(ObjectReference  akActionRef)    if (akActionRef == game.GetPlayer() && GetOwningQuest().GetStage()<50 &&GetOwningQuest().GetStage() >=40)          endif[left]Event OnSleepStop()set GetOwningQuest().SetStage(50)[/left]EndEvent  

but I think makes no sense as is not compiled

Have you looked at the stuf behind the Dark-Brotherhood Questline?

The first phase (The Ruined cabin scene) must start something like that ... PC goes to sleep and Quest is started

Check that out

Maybe you could tell us more about what error did the compiler give you?

So far, here is what I see
- left/ left are not correct syntax, right
- Event OnTriggerEnter doesn't have EndEvent tag?

The left left are code stuff of the forum that dunno how got in , I am not sure if I can unify two events at the same time ....


Hi I haven't played the DB quests yet ingame and I would like ot not be spoiled , eventually cold you point me to the actual quest using the code that I can check and see?

Can't find what quest code is this ... any help?

DBEntranceQuest

Ok here is the DB quest script ...

Scriptname pDBEntranceQuestScript extends Quest  ConditionalQuest Property WICourier  Auto  Book Property DBEntranceLetter  Auto  int Property pSleepyTime  Auto ConditionalObjectReference Property pPlayerShackMarker  AutoReferenceAlias Property pAstridAlias  Auto  int Property pPlayerSecondSleep  Auto Conditional  Idle Property WakeUp AutoImageSpaceModifier Property Woozy Auto; When stage is set to 30, register for sleep via RegisterForSleep()Event OnSleepStart(float afSleepStartTime, float afDesiredSleepEndTime); For the player sleeping, to move him to the shack to be forcegreeted by Astrid.If pSleepyTime == 1		Game.DisablePlayerControls(ablooking = true, abCamSwitch = true)   		Game.ForceFirstPerson()		Game.GetPlayer().MoveTo(pPlayerShackMarker)		Woozy.Apply()		Game.GetPlayer().PlayIdle(WakeUp)		Utility.Wait (3)		pSleepyTime = 3endif;Tempted in for future, when sleeping is working;If the player is sleeping	;play the sleeping/wake up animation	;in previous block, set pSleepyTime to 2, and use 2 in this block to have the player play the wakeup animnation, then set to 3 to have Astrid forcegreet;endif; For the player sleeping the second time, and being greeted by Astrid (commented out because it's no longer used);If pPlayerSecondSleep == 0	;If pSleepyTime >= 5			;pSleepyTime = 6			;pAstridAlias.GetReference().Moveto (Game.GetPlayer(), afXOffset = 60.0)			;pPlayerSecondSleep = 1	;endif;endifEndEvent

and this is the script fragments of the quest stages

Can you help me understand what those codes actually do ?

Reading back to see what you want to do, I don't think this quest is much use to you. It does not care which bed the player sleeps in, it just kidnaps them and moves them to a shack when they sleep anywhere.

Can you not just use the OnActivate event of the bed?

I dunno , what I want to do is :

the captain gives a key to the player and adds him to the faction of the ship so that do not gets gangbanged when he enters the ship , then when he reaches his cabin he can open the door and use the "faction bed" to sleep ...

when he wakes up nothing seem to have changed but actually I will have to have replaced the door entrance to another one wich links to the next quest start and new worldspace where a new exterior ship is setup ... and this to be done on a several quest steps ...


so basicallyh what should do is ...

the player uses the bed and

I need that the game somehow gives out a fixed time passed possibly I woudl like ot decide how many hours passes befoure he wakes up or get the time passed so that I can decide how long the step travels last ... may be even add a popup window that describe what happens during that time passed ( not all sleeping supposely ) and when he wakes up starts the new quest that is the actual voyage made of several steps locations / ship locations etc ...

Have a look at this: http://www.creationkit.com/RegisterForSleep_-_Form
This: http://www.creationkit.com/OnSleepStart_-_Form
and this http://www.creationkit.com/OnSleepStop_-_Form

So it depends how strict you want to be. From counting how long PC was asleep, to just catching the event when it wakes (or goes to sleep).

I already took a look to the forms but how I put themtogether?

Ok I have not yet compiled neither tried in the ck but .... I want first someone more expert than me check if think it coul dwork this script ....



With /// I mean the stage script portions

/// to be done in stage set ///

//// When stage is set to 10, register for sleep via RegisterForSleep()
////
//// myQuest.RegisterForSleep()

Scriptname ------int Property sleepy  Auto ConditionalImageSpaceModifier Property fadein AutoImageSpaceModifier Property fadeout AutoIdle Property WakeUp AutoEvent OnSleepStart(float afSleepStartTime, float afDesiredSleepEndTime)    Game.DisablePlayerControls(ablooking = true, abCamSwitch = true)			    afDesiredSleepEndTime=2        Game.ForceFirstPerson()			    fadeout.Apply()        Utility.Wait (3)        myQuest.sleepy = 1        if sleepy == 1		           			        fadein.Apply()            Game.GetPlayer().PlayIdle(WakeUp)			        Utility.Wait (3)        endif     game.setqueststage(20)	    Game.EnablePlayerControls()EndEvent

///UnRegisterForSleep()




What you think?

and how do I do to add the reference to the actual ojbect alias bed I placed as alias ? Should I attach this script to the bed alias or to the quest?

The above code 'should' work for quest script, although it will need more ... work

You can place that particular bed you wish player to sleep on in the world. To link that bed to your quest, you can use Reference Alias. Go to Quest Alias in your quest window, create new Reference Alias. In 'Fill Type', you have an option to select whatever reference you want from the Render Window.

With Reference Alias (says myBed), you can assign any script to this Alias myBed while the quest is running. In this script, you could use 'RegisterForSleep' or 'OnActivate' or whatever you want player to do with in, then advance to next quest stage.

I did this already and I added this following script to it ...

Scriptname Issgard_Shipbed   Int Property sleepy  Auto  ImageSpaceModifier Property FadeIn  Auto  ImageSpaceModifier Property FadeOut  Auto  Idle Property WakeUp  Auto  Idle Property gosleep  Auto  Event OnSleepStart(float afSleepStartTime, float afDesiredSleepEndTime)    Game.DisablePlayerControls(ablooking = true, abCamSwitch = true)			    afDesiredSleepEndTime=2        Game.ForceThirdPerson()			    fadeout.Apply()        sleepy = 1        Utility.Wait (3)                    if sleepy == 1		           			        fadein.Apply()            Game.GetPlayer().PlayIdle(WakeUp)			        Utility.Wait (3)        endif     	    Game.EnablePlayerControls()EndEvent

I compiled fine ....

I added on stage 10 in the stages
KmyQuest.RegisterForSleep()

stage 20
UnRegisterForSleep()

now how that works looks?

didn't work at all , looks like when I goto sleep in that bed the scripted stuff gets completely ignored , I got no debug showing ....

Your script needs to extend quest. Also make sure that you selected the correct script when you set kMyQuest in the quest stage script fragments.

Your ShipBed script did NOT registerForSleep (It is a script attached to ReferenceAlias, right? If so, it should extends ReferenceAlias)

Your fragment Quest script registerForSleep does not necessary mean your alias script will as well. Each script should registerFor-whatever-event individually

You might want to create a function, say

Function RegisterForSleepEvent ()   RegisterForSleep()endFunction

and put it somewhere in your Issgard_ShipBed script

In your fragment, or your main quest script, you can call this function (depend on the quest stage as well)
Something like

Issgard_ShipBed Property ShipBed_Script autoShipBed_Script.RegisterForSleepEvent()

Here is edited :

Scriptname Issgard_Shipbed   extends ReferenceAlias  Int Property sleepy  Auto  ImageSpaceModifier Property FadeIn  Auto  ImageSpaceModifier Property FadeOut  Auto  Idle Property WakeUp  Auto  Idle Property gosleep  Auto  Quest Property journey01  Auto  Function RegisterForSleepEvent ()   RegisterForSleep()endFunctionEvent OnSleepStart(float afSleepStartTime, float afDesiredSleepEndTime)    Game.DisablePlayerControls(ablooking = true, abCamSwitch = true)			    afDesiredSleepEndTime=2        Game.ForceThirdPerson()			    fadeout.Apply()        sleepy = 1        Utility.Wait (3)                    if sleepy == 1		           			        fadein.Apply()            Game.GetPlayer().PlayIdle(WakeUp)			        Utility.Wait (3)        endif     	    Game.EnablePlayerControls()    journey01 .SetStage(20)    EndEvent

it gives error when I put

Issgard_ShipBed Property ShipBed_Script auto


ShipBed_Script.RegisterForSleepEvent()


the property in the fragment

Fragments are actually functions (eg quest stage result scripts are functions in the quest fragments script).

You cannot declare a property inside of a function. You need to add the property to your quest fragments script before using it in the quest stage result script. If you don't have a quest fragments script, you can generate it by compiling ";" as a quest stage result script.

I did also this but refused to compile taking out errors ...

RegisterForSleepEvent should be http://www.creationkit.com/RegisterForSleep_-_Form. If it still doesn't compile, exactly what's in your quest fragments script, and what are you trying to put in your quest stage result script?

I gived up with the bed as it is obviously not workig I did an activator box that "ALSO" is not working with this script alias !!!

Scriptname Issgard_Timebox extends ReferenceAlias  ImageSpaceModifier Property FadeIn  Auto  ImageSpaceModifier Property FadeOut  Auto  Quest Property journey01  Auto  Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)  if (akActionRef == game.GetPlayer() && journey01.GetStage()<20 &&journey01.GetStage() >=10)				Debug.Notification("Sleeped and quest is stage 10 ")			Game.DisablePlayerControls(ablooking = true, abCamSwitch = true)							FadeOut.Apply()		  Utility.Wait (3)								FadeIn.Apply()								Utility.Wait (3)			  Game.EnablePlayerControls()		journey01.SetStage(20)		Debug.Notification("Sleeped and quest is stage 20 ")endifEndEvent	

Can someone be able to tell me a working script that is able to perform with the Bed Solution what I have described ? I almosut been all evening here on this small script and I couln't progress at all in quest , it's very frustrating as I amno scripter ...

I apology, my previous post was a little misleading, it will work if you put these

Issgard_ShipBed Property ShipBed_Script autoShipBed_Script.RegisterForSleepEvent()

inside your main Quest, NOT fragment Quest window.


RegisterForSleepEvent is custom function I suggested. This was meant to be called remotely from other script....


@Prometheus: You can try to put those code I mentioned inside a main Quest script, not Fragment, or... making your Bed's script looks something like this:

Scriptname Issgard_Shipbed   extends ReferenceAlias;;;; Variables and stuff goes herebool activeOnce;{Register this script for player's sleep when player click/activate the bed}Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)   if (!activeOnce)	  RegisterForSleep()	  activeOnce = true   endifEndEvent;{Handling the quest's stage after when player finish sleeping}Event OnSleepStop(bool abInterrupted)   ;do what you must here   ;advance quest stage, or start new quest, or Keyword.SendStoryEvent ......EndEvent

Plz note that, this script must be attached to the bed's Quest Alias

Bed's quest alias ? I need to make another alias for the quest inside the quest? I attached to the bed if I add to the quest how will recognize the bed is using ? Thx for helping btw...

I put tthis

Issgard_ShipBed Property ShipBed_Script auto

ShipBed_Script.RegisterForSleepEvent()

inthe main script of the quest but this is the result ...
