its supposed to:
1) make chance to harvest something from plants equal to survival skill
2) give a chance for extra "harvest" depending on survival skill
3) harvest amount: at skill 25: 0-1, 50: 0-2, 75: 0-3, 100: 1-4

I am a total infant in scripting now, and can't say for sure if it will work as needed, I don't know if you have it already but http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36290 brings back the script checker our FO3 GECK had so it will let you know if you have any errors in your script. It also does some other good things as well but it has helped me, well untill maybe we can get an GECK update :ermm: Bethesda

Looks to me like it will work. There will be a jump in the extra bonus possibliity if skill is over 50, which is fine, if that's what you want.

great thanks. please also advise if there's a more "elegant" (from GECK wiki ) way of writing it.

@wolf
yes i have the geck-pu. the script saved so i guess no errors as far as syntax (?) is concerned. was just afraid it wouldnt work as advertised though.

another question. upon testing i found that items added thru the above script dont display a message that an item was added. How do i use the ShowMessage function to make a message that says either:

1) You have succesfully harvested (number equal to variable "fruits") Broc Flower (or other item).
2) You fail to harvest anything.

thanks!

ShowMessage [object name] [integer with the harvested number]

You need to place %.0f (for whole numbers) in the message object's text to work with the above.

To clarify: object name is the EditorId of the message right? what about [integer of the harvested number]? i have set the variable "fruit" to represent the number of items harvested from a plant. since, it can change everytime a harvestable plant is activated and id like the message to reflect that change.

Something like this as an example:

Script:

ShowMessage HoneyMesquiteFruitHarvestCount, fruit

Then the message text of the message object HoneyMesquiteFruitHarvestCount:

Honey Mesquite Fruit Harvested: %.0f


Edit - more info: http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/ShowMessage

to my embarassment i actually read the geck wiki several times over before finally giving up and posting here. thanks, i will try that. your example is easier to understand than the wiki's. will it work as well if "fruit" is a global?

Yes, http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/ShowMessage should be able to take global variables as parameters.

it worked! again, thanks guys :bowdown:
