Struggling with the new script. : V

» Sun Jun 17, 2012 4:16 pm

Okay so I'm not very well versed in scripting and this is quite a simple script going here, it's a magic effect script that is supposed to end all combat on the player whenever he goes invisible.

In Fallout 3/Oblivion, it'd look like

begin ScriptEffectStart    player.stopCombatAlarmOnActor    stopCombatAlarmOnActor Playerend

However if I put it into that format I get

c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\InvisibilityDropsCombat.psc(3,10): no viable alternative at input '.'
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\InvisibilityDropsCombat.psc(5,3): no viable alternative at input '\\n'

So... obviously that isn't going to work anymore. Although I'm editing straight from the source so maybe that's what is causing it.

How would I format this to make it work?

You really should go read the Wiki. That is no longer the correct format. Begin and End aren't used anymore.

Skyrim uses an entirely new scripting language. Take a look at the wiki's http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Papyrus before you try to write anything.

Ahh I see. Alright, didn't quite catch that there was a new scripting language. They haven't done that in a while.

Okay so, so far I got a script going down that kinda gives me what I'm after.

EVENT OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster);   debug.trace(self + " OnEffectStart: User Drops Combat")akCaster.StopCombatAlarm()ENDEVENT

However this only calls in one stopcombatalarm which in at least this scenario, does not end combat. I want invisibility to continue calling in stopcombatalarm commands while invisibility is on until the effect wears off.

So I've somewhat have been going with this script.

Scriptname InvisibilityDropsCombat extends activemagiceffect float xEVENT OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster);   debug.trace(self + " OnEffectStart: User Drops Combat")x = 1ENDEVENTFunction GetPlayer(Actor player)if x == 1  player.StopCombatAlarm()endifendfunctionevent OnEffectFinish(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)x = 0akCaster.StopCombatAlarm()akTarget.StopCombatAlarm()endevent

However it's having no affect in game.

I'm pretty sure the reason behind it is because "Actor Player" isn't actually letting the function be used on the player. I don't really get how I'm supposed to set this second part to be ran on the player, or if I'm even doing the variables right. Anyone have any ideas?

In order to get the reference to the player, you'll want to use this:

Game.GetPlayer()
