SSE RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime Not Working

[HeirOfTheSeptims]

I'm trying to use this function to control time between uses of a scripted item. For some reason it just won't work at all. Here's a shortened version of the script:

Event OnEquipped(Actor AkActor)
  If(Waiting == False)
   Game.DisablePlayerControls(false, false, False, false, false, True, false, False)
   ;Doing Stuff
   Waiting = true
   Game.EnablePlayerControls()
   If(RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime(1.0))
    Debug.Notification("Update Should Be Registered")
   Else
    Debug.Notification("Update Did Not Register!")
   EndIf
  Else
   Debug.Notification("You have already used this today")
  EndIf
EndEvent

Event OnUpdateGameTime()
Waiting = False
Debug.Notification("Update Completed")
EndEvent

Whenever I test it it shows that it did not register, meaning that the issue is with the function not the event. Does anyone know why? I cant figure out what I could be doing wrong :wallbash:

You cannot use this code

   If RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime(1.0)
   Else
   EndIf

because the native function RegisterForSingleUpdate() does not return any variable like bool. So you'll get always the else branch.

  Bool Waiting        ; [default=False]

EVENT OnEquipped(Actor akActor)
    IF ( Waiting )        ; == TRUE
        Debug.Notification("You have already used this today!!")
    ELSE                ; == False
        Waiting = TRUE                ; *T*
        Game.DisablePlayerControls(False, False, False, False, False, True, False, False)
;       ----------------------

           ; ... doing Stuff here

;       ----------------------
        Game.EnablePlayerControls()
        
        RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime(1.0)              ; (1.0) one hour to wait, (24.0) one day to wait(as in-game hour)
        Debug.Notification("Update has been registered.")
    ENDIF
ENDEVENT


EVENT OnUpdateGameTime()
    Waiting = False                   ; ***
    Debug.Notification("Update Completed!")
ENDEVENT

 

Sometimes its a good idea to look into original source files or Skyrim wiki.

That was just added for testing purposes, it still doesn't work in game with or without it
