Detect when a Dynamically Attached Script detaches?

[Ez0n3]

I was just playing around with the example on the wiki for Dynamically Attaching Scripts to Objects and I was wondering if it possible to detect when a script is attached to an object and also, when it gets detached?

So far, OnInit seem to work for detecting when it gets attached, but is there any way to detect when the alias script stops affecting the object?

EG: I was applying an Effect Shader to to some Acti's and Cont's and I wanted it to start the shader OnInit (PMS - BlockActivation), but how to stop it? What Event can I stick the SMS - UnBlockActivation into?

Scriptname ShaderAliasScript extends ReferenceAlias

EffectShader Property ObjShader Auto

Event OnInit()
EndEvent

Auto State Waiting

    Event OnInit()
        Debug.Trace("Alias Script Attached")
        
        ObjectReference rSelfRef = GetRef()
        ObjShader.Play(rSelfRef)
        rSelfRef.BlockActivation(True)
    EndEvent
    
    Event ???
        Debug.Trace("Alias Script Detached")
        
        ObjectReference rSelfRef = GetRef()
        ObjShader.Stop(rSelfRef)
        rSelfRef.BlockActivation(False)
    EndEvent
    
EndState

Thanks

Alias scripts are stopped when the alias is removed or the quest is finished. You could, therefore, in theory set up a second quest that applies the script to the alias. On your main quest/scripting setup at the correct point, start the secondary quest so that the aliases do what you need, then when done stop the secondary quest. The objects should return to normal behavior.

Been tied up, thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought of setting up a 3rd "cleanup" quest.

 

I might not end up needing to detect when it stops, I don't know yet. But now I know what to do if is it needed. ;)
