MWSE Moving stuff

by **latendresse76** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:59 pm

ok i have done nothing with MWSE but i understand that you can use it to move stuff by Type and not ID but i was wondering if you can move stuff by ID using MWSE. I had an idea for a sorter and well i'm not sure and I know i would need some MWSE help.

I don't want to go in to a lot of detail so that it can remain a some what unique Idea!

Yeah, you have to first get the reference of the object; then you can call xRefID to get the reference ID, or xGetBaseID to get the base ID (the one you see in the CS.)

You can also do it the opposite way; if you have the ID you can use xGetRef id to get the reference, which you can then move around. If you are just using the base ID though, it will just get the first one it finds with that id. So to move multiple items with the same ID, you'll need to use xFirstItem/xNextRef to loop through all references in the cell and compare the IDs.

what i want to make is an ingredient puller for specific effects. i have a database with 900+ ingredient effects. i figure i would use and esm to add the ingredients. then there would be three different esp's that would set the ingredient effects with the puller scripts. the three different esp's would be biased on how some mods change the ingredient effects.
I wanted to make it a movable container at least until the player placed so that it could be used anywhere. i though of using MWSE to place all the ingredients and apparatus in a single container and have the potion scripts move the ingredients and apparatus to the players inventory so then they could make the potion. when pulling ingredients I also wanted to have it disregard ingredients that the effects were below the players alchemy ability.

i have no problem with making the sort/pull scripts but MWSE scripts still don't make much sense to me! I'll look through some "Simple" MWSE mods and see if i can make a break though

If your ingredients are in a container, it is a very simple thing to do. I can provide you some script snippets if you like. I have an MWSE alchemy mod in the works that you are free to use bits of.

i actually have been using MWEdit to kinda cheat with adding containers i figured it out one night and have managed to import a few hundred ingredient containers with a single CVS file. i just wish that there were a bit better tutorial for it.

i would love to take a peak at your MWSE alchemy mod. I was going to try to petition this project as a GHF Production since i don't think i have the skill set to do it on my own.

I'm working on a {WIP} thread for GHF Productions.... And again i would love to peak in your alchemy sorter Fligg... Only pestering you since you told me about it a year ago Here. LOL

Anyone know the [highlight=#000000]invtype != 1380404809 ;not an ingredient[/highlight] for an apparatus?

Fliggerty wrote:MWSE alchemy mod

It will move "ALL" ingredients (including scripted?) to containers that start with the same letter,Correct? So i could change all to one container?

does it fix Human Flesh it starts with a space or does it ignore spaces, what about underscores?

no hurry.. Thanks

by **Fliggerty** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 8:30 am

The type code for an apparatus is 1095782465. All of the codes are listed in MWSE_Scripting.html, which comes with the MWSE package BTW.

Yes, my script will take every last ingredient and put them into a container based upon the first letter in the name. You can move it all into one container by removing all of the letter checks.

TBH, I've never noticed what happens with human flesh. I imagine it would be left behind actually, but that is easily fixed by using xStringParse to split the name by spaces.

by **latendresse76** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 5:38 pm

If i remove the stuff with a strike through below it will move every ingredient and that would be all that would be needed? would removing the letter checks also move any thing that starts with a space?
[s]setx temp to xStringCompare nameletter "A"[/s]
[s]else ;is an "a"[/s]

the script in turn would be like so

Code: Select all: begin GHF_P__ALC_sort long pcref long invid long invcount long invtype long invvalue float invweight long invname long invref long nameletter long contref short state long temp long pcname if ( MenuMode ) Return endif setx pcref to xGetRef "player" setx pcname to pcref->xGetName ifx ( invref ) setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList invref else setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList 0 set state to 1 ;xMessageFix "taking stuff from %s" pcname ;MessageBox "hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee" endif if ( invref == 0 ) set state to 0 StopScript GHF_P__ALC_sort endif ifx ( state ) if ( invtype != 1380404809 ) ;not an ingredient return endif setx nameletter to xStringBuild "%.1s" invname ifx ( temp ) pcref->xRemoveItem invid invcount setx contref to xGetRef "GHF_P__ALC_Chest" contref->xAddItem invid invcount return endif endif end

could it be done that simply? Or am i missing something?

Edit: As i look at it a few hours later i think i still have less understanding of MWSE scripts than i though i did a few hours ago.

i talked to scruggsywuggsy the ferret creator of Alchemy Storage Helper and he gave me permission t expand off it, so I'm still going in a similar direction but with that it should make it a little less work.

You've pretty much got it. I've removed some extra things, and a check that is causing it to fail.

Code: Select all: begin GHF_P__ALC_sort long pcref long invid long invcount long invtype long invvalue float invweight long invname long invref long nameletter long contref long temp long pcname if ( MenuMode ) Return endif setx pcref to xGetRef "player" setx pcname to pcref->xGetName ifx ( invref ) setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList invref else setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList 0 endif if ( invref == 0 ) StopScript GHF_P__ALC_sort ;need to let the script loop one last time to get the last item endif if ( invtype != 1380404809 ) ;not an ingredient return endif pcref->xRemoveItem invid invcount setx contref to xGetRef "GHF_P__ALC_Chest" contref->xAddItem invid invcount end

by **latendresse76** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:32 pm

so to get it to do the same with apparatus (move them to the same container) i could copy from the first "ifx" down and change the invtype?

Code: Select all: begin GHF_P__ALC_sort long pcref long invid long invcount long invtype long invvalue float invweight long invname long invref long nameletter long contref long temp long pcname if ( MenuMode ) Return endif setx pcref to xGetRef "player" setx pcname to pcref->xGetName ifx ( invref ) setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList invref else setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList 0 endif if ( invref == 0 ) StopScript GHF_P__ALC_sort ;need to let the script loop one last time to get the last item endif if ( invtype != 1380404809 ) ;not an ingredient return endif pcref->xRemoveItem invid invcount setx contref to xGetRef "GHF_P__ALC_Chest" contref->xAddItem invid invcount ifx ( invref ) setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList invref else setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList 0 endif if ( invref == 0 ) StopScript GHF_P__ALC_sort ;need to let the script loop one last time to get the last item endif if ( invtype != 1095782465 ) ;not an apparatus return endif pcref->xRemoveItem invid invcount setx contref to xGetRef "GHF_P__ALC_Chest" contref->xAddItem invid invcount end

or could i use and "else" like so

Code: Select all: begin GHF_P__ALC_sort long pcref long invid long invcount long invtype long invvalue float invweight long invname long invref long nameletter long contref long temp long pcname if ( MenuMode ) Return endif setx pcref to xGetRef "player" setx pcname to pcref->xGetName ifx ( invref ) setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList invref else setx invid invcount invtype invvalue invweight invname invref to pcref->xContentList 0 endif if ( invref == 0 ) StopScript GHF_P__ALC_sort ;need to let the script loop one last time to get the last item endif if ( invtype != 1380404809 ) ;not an ingredient else ( invtype != 1095782465 ) ;not an apparatus return endif pcref->xRemoveItem invid invcount setx contref to xGetRef "GHF_P__ALC_Chest" contref->xAddItem invid invcount end

now looking at it the first one will have problems wont it

another question....
does MWSE ignore ; included in ifx's i was looking through the alchemy storage helper scripts and it has some stuff i'm not so sure about here is a snipit of the script

Code: Select all: ifx ( button ) ; inv to satchel ; xLogMessage "From inv to satchel" setx cId cQuant cType junk crap junk cNextRef to plrRef->xContentList 0 xFileRewind "ASH_Temp" ; temporarily stores ingreds removed from player's inventory whilex ( cNextRef ) ; xLogMessage "Contents: ID=%s count=%d type=%d" cID cQuant cType set junk to ( cType - 1380404809 ) ifx ( junk ) ; not an ingredient ; xLogMessage "Item %s is not ingredient" cID else ; ingredient, so transfer it ; xLogMessage "Item == %s quant == %d" cID cQuant ; plrRef->xRemoveItem cId cQuant - do this later guyRef->xAddItem cId cQuant xFileWriteString "ASH_Temp" cID xFileWriteLong "ASH_Temp" cQuant endif

It's supposed to just like regular MW script. I've seen semicolons used for comments so I say that it does.

by **latendresse76** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 8:28 am

it just seems a bit weird to me because through out the script there are ; with tabs after them and it seems like the stuff after them might do something. Most of the comments in the script have a ; and then a space and the comment. i'll trim them all out and test and see what happens!

by **Jac** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 8:46 am

Those look like testing commands that were left in. It's like having a MessageBox that tells you what's happening where in a script.

by **latendresse76** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 8:50 am

yea probably it still amazes me that you can do some really complicated stuff so simply with MWSE, like moving all ingredients to a container with 42 lines of script

by **latendresse76** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:30 am

With MWSE can you detect if there is a script attached to an object? I did a quick scan through MWSD9 and couldn't see it as possible with Reg script but i could be wrong?

by **Fliggerty** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 9:10 am

No, there isn't any way to do that.
