==Isolation?== | |||
How it is possible for scripts to declare and use a reference that is set in a separate script? Let me give you some context. In a mod that I am working on I have a '''better''' ''(yes, how we all love to outdo Bethesda)'' version of The Saviour of Bruma Statue. Mine can be updated and removed at will etc. '''Please note that I am not altering the Bruma Statue but merely have a similar in my abode.''' | |||
My dilemna is that I have only been able to get the effectshader I am playing on the Statue to run in GameMode blocks. I wish to have be able to use something a little more comprehensive like an OnLoad block the challenge is having a reference that an OnLoad block can use. I anticipate that a seperate script will be required for this. The game would be forced to run this block on my statue without fail due to the way I am adding it to the game. | |||
The Proof, If you look at the scripts that handle The Saviour of Bruma Statue you can see that the creation of the statue is handled in one script (MartinScript) and other finer points by another (MQ14StatueScript). In MartinScript the statue is assigned the reference variable of ''playerstatue''. This reference is used in the MQ14StatueScript. I was under the impression that such reference's were isolated to the script in which they are set and declared. Despite the already cluttered nature of this page I will post the relevant parts of the aforementioned scripts below. | |||
'''MartinScript'''<BR> | |||
<pre>ScriptName MartinScript | |||
ref playerStatue | |||
short scriptKill ; set to 1 if a script killed Martin, for debugging problems | |||
begin OnLoad | |||
if getstage MQ14 >= 50 && MQ14.createStatue == 0 | |||
set MQ14.createStatue to 1 | |||
MQ14PlayerStatueMarker.enable | |||
set playerStatue to player.CreateFullActorCopy | |||
playerStatue.removeItem torch02 1000 ; make sure the statue doesn't have a torch | |||
playerStatue.addscriptpackage MQStatuePose | |||
playerStatue.moveto MQ14PlayerStatueMarker | |||
playerStatue.setalert 1 | |||
playerStatue.setghost 1 | |||
playerStatue.setunconscious 1 | |||
playerStatue.setdestroyed 1 ; so you can't activate player | |||
playerStatue.setscale 1.8 | |||
playerStatue.setav speed 0 ; so you can't move it around | |||
endif | |||
end</pre> | |||
'''MQ14StatueScript'''<BR> | |||
<pre>scn MQ14StatueScript | |||
short statueYear | |||
ref playerStatue | |||
short distancecheck | |||
begin OnLoad ;for playing an effectShader this is more comprehensive than a GameMode Block | |||
if playerStatue == 0 | |||
set playerStatue to MartinRef.playerStatue ;!!!!!!HOW!!!!!! | |||
endif | |||
if playerStatue != 0 | |||
playerStatue.moveto MQ14PlayerStatueMarker | |||
playerStatue.addscriptpackage MQStatuePose ; shouldn't be necessary but oh well | |||
set statueYear to MQ14.victoryYear | |||
playerStatue.pms effectstone | |||
playerStatue.pickidle | |||
endif | |||
end</pre> | |||
The winning bit of code seems to be this line:<BR> | |||
<pre>set playerStatue to MartinRef.playerStatue</pre> | |||
It seems to me that the above line uses a reference from the other script. Ideas anyone, how is this achieved?<BR> | |||
