NW_journal help (easy crafting system)
So i'm trying to figure out how this script should work.
What it does and how it works.
A player goes to a crafting station and puts items on it. The crafting station initiates a dialogue where the player selects what they want to craft. If they have placed enough fuel and material on the station and they pass the DC and dont roll a 1 they craft the item. If they fail the fuel is always consumed.
This goes on the crafting station's OnClose event. It's pretty standard but may be helpful to someone
This is the actual action script itself and is fired by the dialogue
So as far as my (very low) knowledge let me understand: i need to create some kind of "recipes" in the pc journal. How does it works? Could someone help me scripting a sample and understanding where to place it?
Thanks for reading

So this script is dependent on another script (somewhere) that calls SetLocalInt(oPC, "NW_JOURNAL_ENTRY" + sCraft, <some int>); Maybe fired in the conversation? Makes sense:
What will you craft?
1. Arrow
2. Bullet
3. Dire Mace +20
Then a script fires when you pick an option setting that int.
This script will get big really fast if you actually start adding recipes. I would recommend changing it so that, in an include script, it sets
int iSkill; // Which crafting skill being used
int nFuel; // Number of fuel items required
int nMat; // Number of other material items required
int nItem; // Number of items to craft
int nStack; // Variable used when counting fuel and materials
int nDC; // DC of crafting recipe
into local variables. So this include script would have one function called void PopulateRecipes(int iIndex);
And well, I would call that function on the conversation option...
Let me know if you like that idea and I can throw together an example for you.
Thank you!
