Need some scripting help : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Jun 27, 2010 6:51 pm

Alright, what i'm looking for is a script that will do the following. Check a reputation level and change the friend status based on it. The example being if goodsprings is accepted rep then set the status to neutral. Liked = friends, idolized = allied. i know how to check rep and i know how to set friendship status. i can't make the 2 scripts connect properly. So if anyone could show me how or just throw me the script i'd be much appreciative.

What about:

scn ReputationAllyModifierbegin GameMode	if (GetReputation RepNVGoodsprings # > #)		SetAlly PlayerFaction GoodspringsFaction 0	endif	if (GetReputation RepNVGoodsprings # > #)		SetAlly PlayerFaction GoodspringsFaction 1	endif	if (GetReputation RepNVGoodsprings # < #)		SetEnemy PlayerFaction GoodspringsFaction 0	endif	if (GetReputation RepNVGoodsprings # == #)		SetEnemy PlayerFaction GoodspringsFaction 1	endifend

All you have to do is figure out which # is required to be idolized, accepted, etc.

problem there is Getreputation only checks fame/infamy and returns a value of 1 if true or 0 if false. So basically those statements are non functional. What you need is a function to take the return value of 1 from checking fame or infamy and use it to setally/setenemy. I tried using ref to store the return value variable, problem is i don't know the function at that point to say "if ref == 1 then setally". it's more complex then just stating that, which i tried, and geck is like "no you can't save it because there's an error i won't tell you"

What about:

scn ReputationAllyModifierbegin GameMode	if (GetReputation RepNVGoodsprings # > #)		SetAlly PlayerFaction GoodspringsFaction 0	endif	if (GetReputation RepNVGoodsprings # > #)		SetAlly PlayerFaction GoodspringsFaction 1	endif	if (GetReputation RepNVGoodsprings # < #)		SetEnemy PlayerFaction GoodspringsFaction 0	endif	if (GetReputation RepNVGoodsprings # == #)		SetEnemy PlayerFaction GoodspringsFaction 1	endifend

All you have to do is figure out which # is required to be idolized, accepted, etc.

GetReputation actually returns an integer of whatever the current reputation is. You'd use one of the integer variable types to store its information. More important in your situation, however, is GetReputationPct. It returns a float of 0-1 based on current reputation divided by the value in the "Reputation" Form.

The code below should be easy enough to follow and work well enough to get you started. I only did a brief test, but it seems to work fine. I'm not certain how you wanted to handle the faction enemy aspect, so I wrote it as Infamy >= Fame + 2 to be enemy. That can just as well be Fame + 3 if you only want to go enemy on Villified, or removed completely if you don't want them to be enemies at all. Since the ReputationThresholds could possibly be modded, I check current % of reputation against those instead of static values.
