[help] Random Sieges

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 9:13 pm

Hey guys, i have a question that i assume involves scripting.

i haven't looked into a whole lot but i wanted to make it so Whiterun is randomly siege by the stormcloaks (unless controlled by them)

I haven't much experience in scripting, but have modded just about every game i have (all warhammer games, m&b, and all total war games)

so the question is, where do i start, what lines/loops or the like do i need to implement, and what do i need to do to make something randomly call on that script every time you go to Whiterun.

thanks in-advance for all the help!

Well, it would probably take a bit of work, but yeah, you'd need to get the Whiterun siege to happen, except randomly, and without waiting for the player to get there.

Note that the Whiterun, Solitude and Windhelm sieges are all handled by the same quest.

The quest "CWFortSiegeCapital" is the main one. I do not know if it's the only important one - probably not.

BTW If you go to the Character\Quest section, and filter by "CW", you will see all the civil war related quests.

hm, if you dont mind me asking this as well, how do i place troops that only spawn during the siege, and keep re-spawning until the objective is met, so pretty much just add more troops to a siege.
