People need to watch this (Regarding scripting)

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:48 am

Before watching these videos you need to have a little background first on why these videos were even created to begin with:

Since the release of the creation kit, (Which is what, going on 3 months now) I have been going to no end to try pull a horse into the game that can be ridden and still to this day even after 3months cannot do it. Apparently summons cannot be interacted with at all and you supposedly have to use a placeatme script in order to be able to pull this off but there is a bunch of major issues regarding that so called placeatme script:

There also seems to be some people who do not seem to understand that unless it's programmed into the creation kit as an actual summon, then despite what effect you see on the screen in the game, it's not a summon. But again those people don't know the difference and do not think there is a difference because according to them a summon is summoned regardless, and those people are beyond talking to because they cannot separate placeatme from summon when dealing with modding..again what people try to claim is semantics is in reality them not understanding how there is a crucial difference and it actually does matter and it makes a huge difference. So again for the record, placeatme and summon are not even close to doing the samething despite the effect on the screen in game being exactly the same...Ok now that is out of the way we can move on to the real issues I have regarding this placeatme script people claim they are using:

This is all the oddities revolving around this so called script...you tell me what's wrong with this picture and what would you have a tendency to think:
1. The placeatme script people claim they are using does not turn up in any search engine results (Google, Bing, Ask Jeeves, nothing) You name a search Engine I tried it..the result is nothing every time on all of them

2. No forum anywhere has this placeatmescript listed (It's not in Skyrim Nexus, it's not on Steam, it's not here on Bethesda's forums) It is simply nowhere to be found.

3. I have posted requests for that placeatme script on as many forums that deal with Skyrim (Including here and the topic disappeared)

4. I have asked every person I could find who are supposedly using the placeatme script for it directly, and the result was basically the same answer from everyone, no

5. I have asked every person I could find who are supposedly using the placeatme script to walk me through what they did, and the result was basically the same answer from everyone, no

6. I have gone so far to download the mods themselves using the script, and it's a cluster screw that cannot be broken down unless you know what you're looking at (Programmers only) and it's basically impossible to replicate.

After doing all that, and going on over 3 months now and still not getting anywhere, I have come to the conclusion that pulling a horse into the game cannot be ridden at all and that some other super secret procedure tat only an elite select few are allowed to know how to do is being used. You cannot seriously tell me this is some bizarre coincidence. Because no matter how that sentence looks to people why has it been this much trouble to get an answer from anyone using it, not be able to locate it anywhere, and just get an answer all around in general.


Something is up.

So I have made some videos:

Watch this video first:
http://www%28DOT


Watch this video second:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuUhwimTqSc


If all the problems in the first video were addressed like they were supposed to be, then the second video wouldn't need to be made.

Now, as you can clearly see this topic wasn't just thrown up here, I actually spent a lot of time going through all the options with this (Over 3 months to be exact) looking, consulting, and doing, and every single turn was a dead end.

This is one reason why I never bother going to links people leave in topics, all it does is waste people's time. and this is a main reason I get rude to people...For something that people claim they are using, why is it that a 3 month search or asking and doing, nets me no results.


So someone needs to fill in every single gap in these videos

If something needs to be opened then everything about that aspect needs to be explained in every small little detail, if something needs to be entered in somewhere then everything about it including the smallest detail needs to be explained and gone over and examples shown of it's usage.

3 months didn't turn up one thing for me so I'm not going to look at or read anything anymore on this

People always say look for the information on your own and no one will hold your hand...but the fact of the matter on this is that YES someone needs to go over all this and YES someone needs to hold people's hand through every single small little step of the way

because doing it on your own doesn't work like people say it does.

I guess you really looked "everywhere". You also may want to consider that you get less help from people when you come off like a whiny jerk in all of your posts.

Your first mistake was not searching the wiki first...

WIKI is 100% USELESS and thta video explains how and why

Also

I'm not reading anything, like that any more I'm done 3 months of this crap and all you do is come in and do what i just got done saying is a joke.

Your infomraiton is crap and does nothing

This topic was made because of people like you

either explain what i ask or do not bother posting anything because I'm ignoring anything that isn't detailed hand held instructions. I already tried it your way and all that did was get this topic created so I'm done

Hmmm. I could do that, but you're obviously a dike. So, like everyone else, I am not going to help you.

Your personality is bad, and you should feel bad.

Oh well, here's a hint. There is not placeatme script. It is a function. You have to make your own script using that function. Actually, here is a better plan. Stop modding. If you can't understand the creationkit wiki articles (particularly one that simple) after three months, then clearly you have no gift for programming. Just stop, and stop bothering us.

No, your problem is you are expecting people to cater to your wishes. There will NOT be tutorials for every little thing everyone wants to make. You need to read up on concepts and apply them to achieve your goal.

I managed to make a working script for actual physical pick swinging mining (Soon wood cutting as well) withou next to no background in programming, simply by copying parts from the wiki and using some logical tinkering.

If you can't get something to work, then you are either going out of your league and need to step back and tinker some more, or its not possible. And it seems to me, what you are trying to do is possible, but you just don't have the skill level and understanding. I don't either, so this isn't an "I'm better then you" assertion.

I suppose my post did come off a bit arrogant...
Guys like this just tick me off.

I wasn't directing it at you. You just posted before me and I didn't have the reference post quoted.

I'm 100% willing to help people when I can, but not when they start off with attitude.

Rudeness and flaming from the OP and others gets this topic closed.
