Script problem, whats wrong with it?

[MilletGtR]

Hi fellow nexus forumers!

 

You could say I'm a newcomer to scripting, so I would like to hear some of you more advanced scripters to tell me why a part of my script is not triggering:

Scriptname Test extends Quest

Event OnInit()
Debug.Notification("Initiated.")
EndEvent

Event OnStoryIncreaseLevel(int aiNewLevel)
Debug.Notification("Level up.")

Stop()
EndEvent

The bolded part is what is not working currently. I get the "Initiated." notification in game when I start the mod for the first time, which means the quest setup and script is working.

 

The intended use of this script is for something to happen when the player levels up, but the notification never displays. The quest which is tied to the script has the Event Node: Increased Level (what makes the quest trigger), and Run Once unchecked.

 

Am I missing something, or using the OnStoryIncreaseLevel wrong? Any help is appreciated.

 

Kind regards

Double check that the notification is not getting block by the skills menu. Add a Debug.Trace line and check the papyrus log.

I just added Debug.Trace ("Initiated trace") to Event OnInit, this showed up in the papyrus.0.log, however, I also added Debug.Trace ("It works!") to the Event OnStoryIncreaseLevel, which didn't show up in the same log when I forced a level increase on my character. I should mention that I force a level-up by issuing the console command: adv.skill <attribute> <skillpoints> (for instance sneak 5000). I get the perk and everything, but nothing from my script is called on increase level.

 

Got any other suggestions?

 

Edit:

 

Found out the solution thanks to Sjogga: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/716118-cant-get-a-script-to-run-when-player-levels-up-help-please/&do=findComment&comment=5695255

 

The key was to add a new Questnode under Character -> Quest -> SM Event Node. and then link it to your quest, where the condition for the new Stacked Quest Node should be GetLevel, Player, >= 1.

 

Thanks for the help!
