SSE OnUpdate() Speeding up over time

[RedxYeti]

Event OnUpdate()

Bool bIsInventoryMenuOpen = UI.IsMenuOpen("Crafting Menu")

	 If bIsInventoryMenuOpen  == True

		RegisterForSingleUpdate(2)

		Game.AdvanceSkill("alchemy", 18)

	
	Else
	
		UnregisterForUpdate()	


	EndIf


EndEvent

So im using this to add skills while the player is at a crafting table. The problem is, after an extended amount of time, say 5-10 minutes, the backlog of updates comes flooding in to the point where its like 3-4 updates a second. is there a better way to make the updates run at a more consistent time?

 

I dont want to use game time because everyone uses a different timescale.

 

any ideas?

I've also noticed that the OnUpdate event doesn't work reliably while in menus. Instead, I would try a while loop:

 

Function AdvanceSkillInMenu() 
    While  UI.IsMenuOpen("Crafting Menu") 
        Game.AdvanceSkill("alchemy", 18)
        Utility.WaitMenuMode(2)
    EndWhile
EndFunction

Thank you for your reply, ive been using a while since i read your message but it was still stacking.

 

 

I finally figured out, the game must reactivate the crafting tables after a certain amount of time to see if the player is at them.

 

 

I found out with a message box and sure enough, after a set amount of time the message box would show up.

 

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference ReferenceAlias)


if (PlayerRef.GetSitState() != 3)


debug.messagebox("player is sitting already")


else
Registerforsingleupdate(1)
endif

thanks for your help im using a while and the menu wait as well :thumbsup: sorry it took so long to reply :tongue:

 

I looked for so long for a reason my code was running twice, I was certain something in my mod was activating it twice.

 

 

now i can finally remove the onupdate.
