Protecton disable : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:27 pm

Hi!

I need some script help (don't know what's wrong):

Currently I have a terminal which allows one to disable all protectrons in the current cell, which also checks if they aren't already unconscious (that works). Here is the script:

Disable:

AAMarksOfficeBaseProtectron.setUnconscious 1AAMarksOfficeProtectron1.setUnconscious 1AAMarksOfficeProtectron2.setUnconscious 1AAMarksOfficeStairProtectron.setUnconscious 1AAMarksOfficeWelcomeBot2.setUnconscious 1AAMarksOfficeWelcomeBot1.setUnconscious 1AAMarksOfficeBaseProtectron.stopCombatAAMarksOfficeProtectron1.stopCombatAAMarksOfficeProtectron2.stopCombatAAMarksOfficeStairProtectron.stopCombatAAMarksOfficeWelcomeBot2.stopCombatAAMarksOfficeWelcomeBot1.stopCombat

Enable:

AAMarksOfficeBaseProtectron.setUnconscious 0AAMarksOfficeProtectron1.setUnconscious 0AAMarksOfficeProtectron2.setUnconscious 0AAMarksOfficeStairProtectron.setUnconscious 0AAMarksOfficeWelcomeBot2.setUnconscious 0AAMarksOfficeWelcomeBot1.setUnconscious 0

The problem is that none of the Protectrons get disabled (they're all persistent references). Does anybody know the problem?

Are these the REF names or the object IDs that you are doing this to? These operations require a REF name.

To disable a protectron like that you would look at it in the render window, and double click it, and in the box that comes up there is a text box at the top. That is for your REF name. You would put for example MyProtectronREF in that text box. Then, in your script, you call functions against that name (MyProtectronREF).

Yep, those are the ref names. They're all unique.

first step I'd do - - try doing a scripted kill on them instead - - just to make sure your script is even trying to touch them.

Tried both Kill and KillActor, no effect

I have not worked with terminals very much. But see, if your kill isn't working, it means the code isn't getting run against them. You'd have to work that angle of it.

Any suggestions?
