[REQ] Script to add a perk while Event OnRead() : V

» Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:22 pm

Please help me out people!

I'm trying to write a damn script that gives a perk to the player, but it does nothing at all!

I'm trying to make a book teach you a perk, but this code doesn't work:

Scriptname PerkTomeAlchemyAlchemist11 extends ObjectReference{Event OnRead()	player.addperk Alchemist00 ;tried Editor code too.EndEvent}

Any suggestions?

Also, do you have any idea as to making some of these conditional? Some perks have prerequisites, and I'd like the script to look for them while running.

Thanks a LOT

Scriptname PerkTomeAlchemyAlchemist11 extends ObjectreferencePerk Property ThePerk AutoEvent OnRead()    Game.GetPlayer().AddPerk(ThePerk)EndEvent

After Saving and Compiling the script right click the script in the book dialog window and select edit properties. In the new Dialog click on ThePerk then click on edit to the right and select the Alchemist00 Perk.

Thanks for that! It should make http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=7417 a lot more streamlined under the hood.

No Problem. And that Mod's a great Idea. I totally agrre with you actually regarding all the perks. Books and Trainers should teach you Perks instead of increasing your skill level.

I'm currently making just that. All the books are done for now, I just need to script them and distribute them around Skyrim.

By the way, thanks a LOT for the solution!

Another question, how do you make a value of a variable displayed in a message box text?

Scriptname PerkTomeNoPrereq extends ObjectReference  Perk Property ThePerk AutoEvent OnRead()if Game.GetPlayer().HasPerk(ThePerk) == FalseGame.GetPlayer().AddPerk(ThePerk)Debug.MessageBox("You have learned the perk: " + ThePerk)elseDebug.MessageBox("You have already learned this perk.")endifEndEvent

I'd like this one to display the variable 'ThePerk'. But what it does is print the Editor Code of the perk and not the name string. How can you make it display the name string? :biggrin:

Hmm no idea on that one. A toString function or something of that sort has not crossed my sight yet. Not sure if can acces the actual name of forms via script.

Only thing I can think of at the moment is to use a string variable and check if the perk matches one of them. If so, display the appropriate string.

Yes that will probably do. Although I solved it with properties and a LOT of work. I'm still going through the all the perk books and manually setting 5 properties for each. It works though
