Container Copy : V

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:29 pm

Is it possible to copy the contents of an actors inventory or a containers inventory to another container or actor so that both have the same stuff ?

You'll need SKSE for it, but...

...	Copypasta(Game.GetPlayer(), MQ101AlduinREF)...Function Copypasta(ObjectReference akSourceContainer = None, ObjectReference akDestContainer = None, Int aiIndex = 0, Form akForm = None)	aiIndex = akSourceContainer.GetNumItems()	While (aiIndex > 0)		aiIndex -= 1		akForm = akSourceContainer.GetNthForm(aiIndex)		akDestContainer.AddItem(akForm, akSourceContainer.GetItemCount(akForm))	EndWhileEndFunction

...will give copy the player's inventory to Alduin, for instance.

Thanks Man... This does raise another Question? Can you check in the script if SKSE is installed and then based on that decide to run this part of the script ?

Float fSKSEEvent SomeEvent()	fSKSE = SKSE.GetVersion() + SKSE.GetVersionMinor() * 0.01 + SKSE.GetVersionBeta() * 0.0001	If fSKSE >= 1.0504 ; Earliest version with GetNumItems/GetNthForm		Copypasta(Game.GetPlayer(), MQ101AlduinREF)	Else		; Alternate method	EndIfEndEvent

That errors on CK

Function Variable akform may not shadow a previously defined variable ?

I don't think I've ever come across that error before... Maybe it means that you already have a variable called "akForm" defined in your script (not in a local function).

Well Akform is only used in your code? I renamed it to akform1 and get the same error with akform1

Do I need to load skse some how when I load CK ? I know in the Oblivion days I did ...

try changing this line

Form akForm = akSourceContainer.GetNthForm(aiIndex)

to this

akForm = akSourceContainer.GetNthForm(aiIndex)

Fixed as described above.

Function Copypasta(ObjectReference akSourceContainer = None, ObjectReference akDestContainer = None, Int aiIndex = 0, Form akForm = None)        aiIndex = akSourceContainer.GetNumItems()        While (aiIndex > 0)                aiIndex -= 1                akForm = akSourceContainer.GetNthForm(aiIndex)                akDestContainer.AddItem(akForm, akSourceContainer.GetItemCount(akForm))        EndWhileEndFunction

I'd changed it last minute, but forgot to remove 'Form' when making it an argument again.

    fSKSE = SKSE.GetVersion() + SKSE.GetVersionMinor() * 0.01 + SKSE.GetVersionBeta() * 0.0001    If fSKSE >= 1.0504 ; Earliest version with GetNumItems/GetNthForm

That's both inefficient and if you don't have SKSE that will generate 3 errors that will slow down Papyrus when you only need one. Try

   If SKSE.GetVersionRelease() >= 21  ; Earliest version release with GetNumItems/GetNthForm

Which reminds me I need to bug the SKSE team into publishing those release numbers instead of the Major/Minor/Beta forms for Papyrus programmers because it's far more efficient to use.

MoleHill != Mountain. 'fSKSE = SKSE.GetVersion() + SKSE.GetVersionMinor() * 0.01 + SKSE.GetVersionBeta() * 0.0001' takes approximately 0.041704 seconds. GetVersionRelease is a lot more abstract and doesn't allow it to be passed as an argument in a notification. Neither method need to be implemented more than *once per save anyhow given SKSE will not change versions in game, so three innocuous errors vs. one per save load in SKSE's absence is really no big deal. Major/Minor/Beta and GetVersionRelease needn't be mutually exclusive or have any hairs split over their efficiency provided the returned value is cached for subsequent SKSE checks when !bGetGameLoaded., IMO.

*If GetGameLoaded() or OnPlayerLoadGame()

Ok maybe it is me but the new code gives me

c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\ZZSpecialPlayerPortal.psc(50,36): GetNumItems is not a function or does not exist
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\ZZSpecialPlayerPortal.psc(50,8): type mismatch while assigning to a int (cast missing or types unrelated)
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\ZZSpecialPlayerPortal.psc(53,43): GetNthForm is not a function or does not exist

That probably means you don't have SKSE...

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 2:19 pm

Ok Simple or silly or both Question How do I run SKSE with CK ? I can run it and have it launch the game but how do I get it to run with CK ?

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:58 pm

All you have to do is install it. Unlike Oblivion, FO3, and FNV, you don't need to do anything special to access the commands with the CK or other script editor. If you still have problems, post the whole script.

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:36 pm

But you do have to install the pex and psc files that are in the SKSE archive. It has a Data folder with those which need to be copied into your Skyrim/Data folder for the CK and Papyrus compiler to know about the new functions.

There are no Pex of Psc files files in the archive I downloaded just the Dll and exe and readme stuff ??

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:00 pm

You need a 1.5.4+ Beta version of SKSE or there won't be any Papyrus stuff included.
