This is a list of new script functions. As people figure out how to use these new functions, I (and I'm sure everyone else) would appreciate it if you'd post here and share with the rest of us how they work.

EDIT: I just went through and made a new list of functions - the ones that are actually new, since the previous list had a few ones that actually weren't (they just weren't on the GECK for some reason).



There are 63 new script functions.

The only new function I've tested and am pretty sure on how it works is RemoveAllTypedItems. It requires several parameters:

Ref1.RemoveAllTypedItems Ref2 ??? RepressMessages ObjectType ExclusionList

This removes all objects of ObjectType (40 for weapons, 31 for misc, etc) from Ref1 and adds them to Ref2, ignoring items that are in ExclusionList (a FormList). If RepressMessages is set to 1, then you won't be spammed with item removed/added messages. Not sure what ??? is for, but I think it's probably 'RetainsOwnership'.

Anyone want to share how the other new functions work, or how any old functions may have changed?

Interesting. RemoveAllTyped Items and ObjectUnderReticle look useful. Where'd you get the list, and does your source also have an update of any new actor values? I don't see any functions related to changing or reading the hardcoe mode needs levels, so I'm assuming they're actor values (they're not globals).

GetCasinoWinningsLevel,,125C,
GetCasinoWinningStage,,1262,

Both of these have to do with the Comps level set up in the Casino window. You pick the first, second, third, and 'bust' stages. At each of which the floor manager comps you something, and at bust, or level four, kicks you out. I think level returns what level of this they are at. (1-4)

Look at this chunk of the script, its part of the check to see if the player has gotten more money than level one for the Tops, which is 2500 winnings.

GetCasinoWinningsLevel TheTopsCasinoData =http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1127542-new-script-functions/= 1

If they are at level 1 (set as 2500 in the Casino windows) its true.


At some point soon I am going to make my own practice casino to check out all these things. Just a single empty room with a floor manager, a bank NPC and 1 slot, roulette and blackjack table. Just to see if I can get it working.

Some of these aren't new though. I am pretty sure I have used ToggleActorsAI before, as one example.

Abs probably isn't new, it's just an operation to make a negative value positive. Very handy though if it isn't, as the way I usually have to go about doign this when a system doesn't have an Abs function is to check if the value is <0 and if it is multiply it by -1. Not too elegant, lol.

Looks lime more leftover from Oblivion. Shame they took the riding functionality completely out...

I got the new functions from http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1122265-initial-technical-details/page__view__findpost__p__16508760. I simply cut out the ones that are new from the ones that are not and just posted the ones that are.

ToggleActorsAI is a console function in FO3, but it isn't available as a script function. It is in NV, apparently.

You know what, now that you mention it, I think what I had used was "setactorsai".

The new OnFire blocktype does exactly what you would expect.
Handy, really. Don't know if it triggers on shots caused by FireWeapon, though.

I'm actually surprised with how much is left over from Fallout 3, let alone New Vegas. All of the items from Fallout 3 are still there in the Construction set. Even DLC content from Fallout 3 is in there. Don't ask me why...


~Miles "Tails" Prower out! Catch me if you can!

It was free content - already created, taking little or no effort to add to the game. They had to know including it would make both players and modders extremely happy, improving sales. Makes total sense financially.

And I'm really glad to see an onfire block. My last project for FO3 was a set of energy weapons that used power armor charge for ammo. It required FOSE functions to determine when the player was trying to fire, but this block will let me do the same thing more simply and without NVSE. :celebration:

Also, to add to the list of new stuff, I found the three actor values associated with hardcoe mode hunger/thirst/sleep:

hunger
dehydration
sleepdeprevation (they misspelled it)

They can be adjusted via player.getav/setav/modav, etc.

Er, you didn't actually need NVSE. The following code works aok in vanilla Fallout 3- might still be useful if OnFire triggers from FireWeapon commands, or doesn't work on thrown/melee.

ref usershort activeshort animbegin gamemodeif(active)	if(user.GetAnimAction == 2 && anim == 0)		set anim to 1	elseif(user.getanimaction != 2 && anim == 1)		set anim to 0		;DETECTED WEAPON FIRED	endifendifend

The weapon didn't have ammo though, so I had to somehow prevent the user from firing when the power armor ran out of charge, making disablecontrol still necessary. Come to think of it, I guess I'll still need that command even with the onfire block, unless I do something like unequip the weapon when it runs out of charge. That would be a hassle for the user though.

I was using several of FOSE's setweapon... commands anyway to tweak the stats dynamically (it was a little over the top). The laser assault rifle had adjustable damage, rate of fire, and 3 firing modes, but overheated more quickly if the damage per second was too high, reducing accuracy as the weapon's materials underwent thermal expansion. The sniper rifle (which hasn't been released yet) has two firing modes, semi and full auto. Full auto is your basic autosnipe, but the semi auto mode fires when the player releases the mouse button rather than when they press it. If you just tap the fire button, it seems to fire like normal, but holding it down for about a second "charges" the weapon, firing a different, more powerful laser blast. I balanced it so that it actually has a slightly higher DPS if you keep firing it as soon as it's fully charged than if you fire it full auto, meaning you trade the difficulty of a slower fire rate for higher damage if you're good with it. It's pretty fun.

I just went through and made a new list of functions - the ones that are actually new, since the previous list had a few ones that actually weren't (they just weren't on the GECK for some reason). The corrected list is in the first post.
