Use getSoundPlaying and any of the WPNHit sounds.

Continued from http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1073222&st=60&p=15684593&#entry15684593. I changed additem Gold001 50 to Actor.additem Gold001 50 and did the same for the token (thanks Qazaaq). That version did save as a Quest script, but it also caused a CTD as soon as I put the crosshair on an NPC. :banghead: What do I need to do to get this to work? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

there is a cave somewhere in vanilla oblivion that needs explored during a sidequest. in this cave, i came across a water hole and when stepping in it i discovered it was actually a very deep hole going straight down quite some ways. when i got to the bottom i found a really huge giant very angry fish.

i wanted to recreate this in my mod on an even larger scale, but i just cannot find the proper way to do it. ive been tryin all week. ive got the cave built and now im working on the pit at the bottom. the room of the cave is built with chasm parts. but when i try to add another "level" of chasm to the room so it looks like this....

and by using the same walls i used for the main level, the cieling doesnt line up right and there are gaps. i cant find any cave or chasm or pit parts in the cs that look like they had been used in the original game room. can someone please please help me find where they are or at least tell me if it doesnt exist in the cs?? thanks

ok sorry guys , the previous post didnt appear right once i hit post...im gonna try the visualization sample one more time....

the room im trying to build into levels so it is laid out like this....((please bare with me as in order to makle it kjeep form i am now using dots to ensure the underscore and l i was using weill remain in proper place so please ignore the dots))

Any way I can make my CS stop crashing every time I try to edit AI Packages?

Are the sounds the same as when you hit an enemy? I only want the script going off when the player is hit.

Yes. Call the function on the player and reduce the fuzzy radius to the whereabouts of 30 to detect hits on the player.

I think this is it. Was it during Arrow of Extrication?

yes i do believe that is the one. im trying to reconstruct my own extremely large version of that in a seperate cell and i cant seem to find the right pieces. every time i try to make a deep hole with cave chasm pieces or cave pit pieces, they have a set height between the floor and cieling. if i try to make the hole in such a way that i start with a large room and then go down building tier levels untill i am at a sufficient depth , then the cielings of each level dont want to match up so there ends up being holes and gaps in the cieling.

where in the cs are the cave set pieces for the deep hole the fish is found in?

World Objects -> Static -> Dungeons -> Caves -> CRmFloorCeilingHole01 ?

Oh man, I have no idea how to do any of that lol...could you throw me a link that would help me get started? I've done minor editing myself but this is my first time actually starting a script on my own.

I found the getSoundPlaying in the obse library, but not entirely sure how to actually make it work in the script.

Edit: I found a site where it was used in morrowind:

if ( GetSoundPlaying "ghostgate sound" == 0 )        playloopsound3dvp "ghostgate sound" 1.0 1.0    endif

Does the same idea apply here?

Why this script don't works ?

The OBSE documentation is what you're looking for, you can find http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#GetSoundPlaying.

Edit: Removed the script

awesome , thankyou!!

Is there a way to format MessageBox text? I want to start a new paragraph and possibly use Italics or some other text style.

Using string vars with messageBoxes will allow limited formatting. Changing text style isn't possible however. More info in the OBSE command doc.

Yes, it's possible, just select the cell from the 'teleport' option and click on the desired door.

Is a sound referred to as something different in the CS then its actual filename? I cannot get my script to recognize I am being hit by using the sound's file name.

You'll need to use sound records to point to your sound files. Inside the CS, almost everything is record based - If you'd like to access an asset, you'll need to create an appropriate record first. For sound records, look for the Sound section in the Object window. More info on records - http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Modding_Terminology.

Thanks I appreciate it, though I have another problem.

I scripted in a message box to pop up if the sound was played to let me know the script was working, but it only appeared 3 out of the 50 times i was hit with a blade. I read that in morrowind the getSoundPlaying command was fairly unreliable, is that true here as well?

Well, to my knowledge, that depends upon the game engine. The engine itself has a bug which prevents some [sounds] from playing when too many sounds have been queued. In any case, I suggest that you add a radius argument to your function calls and see if it helps.

I hear the actual sound every time though. I went ahead and added the radius check, tho not sure if I actually did it right as I couldn't find the fuzzyRadiusCheck used anywhere, but this time I got 5 out of 50 times, so I don't think anything really changed.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm doing my own research over here, but hard to find posted scripts that are somewhat along the lines of what I am trying to do. Infact, the only ones I can find are from Morrowind

Here is my script, the fuzzyCheckRadius command I pretty much just guessed how it was put in, hopefully don't make a fool of myself

scn PCHitTestbegin GameModeshort soundplayedfloat fuzzyCheckRadiusif ( getSoundPlaying "WPNHitBladeFlesh" == 1 )	if ( fuzzyCheckRadius <= 30 )	set soundplayed to 1if ( getSoundPlaying "WPNHitBladeFleshX" == 1 )	if ( fuzzyCheckRadius <= 30 )	set soundplayed to 1;if ( getSoundPlaying "wpnhitbladeflesh03" == 1 );	set soundplayed to 1;if ( getSoundPlaying "wpn_hit_bladeflesh_04" == 1 );	set soundplayed to 1	endif	endifendifendif;endif;endif	if ( soundPlayed == 1 )		MessageBox "Working", "Ok"		set soundplayed to 0	endifend

Try this.

scn PCHitTestshort soundplayedbegin GameMode     if ( player.getSoundPlaying "WPNHitBladeFlesh" 35 || player.getSoundPlaying "WPNHitBladeFleshX" 35 )         set soundplayed to 1     endif               if ( soundPlayed == 1 )         MessageBox "Working", "Ok"         set soundplayed to 0     endif     end

You cannot declare variables inside script blocks. Variables in ObScript are anologous to global variables in programming languages - They have global scope in the script they are declared in.

I used your script and got 7 pop ups out of 50 blade hits. I am using the testing halls inside one of the houses at Hawkhaven (think thats the name) with just one NPC hitting me, so can there really be that many sounds to bog the engine down? It doesn't sound like any are getting cut off.

My goal is to have a script be able to detect when the player is hit, tell the type of weapon, and have a chance to apply a wound depending on what the player was hit by. But if the script is having this much trouble even detecting the sound I may not be able to.
