Start script when protectron is activated from Terminal

[F4llfield]

Hi,

 

I want to have my script run only when the Protectron is activated (the Gunners Plaza Lobby Terminal). What would be tyhe best way.

 

Can I modify the existing terminal to do so?

 

 

Can't seem to find any info on how to modify an existing terminal.

 

 

 

thanks.

Attach a script like this to a new placed invisible activator in the same 3dLoad cell as the pod:

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ScriptName myProtectronPodMonitor extends ObjectReference

ActorValue Property pProtectronPodStatus Auto Const Mandatory

ObjectReference Property myPod Auto

{ link this property to the Protectron pod to monitor }

Event OnLoad()

If (myPod != None) && (myPod.Is3dLoaded() == True)

ObjectReference myProtectron = myPod.GetLinkedRef() ; some pods may not have this link

If (myProtectron != None) && (myProtectron.GetValue(pProtectronPodStatus) == 0) ; ProtectronSleepInsidePodPKG condition

Self.RegisterForAnimationEvent(myPod, "Exit")

EndIf

Endif

EndEvent

Event OnUnload()

If (myPod != None)

Self.UnRegisterForAnimationEvent(myPod, "Exit")

Endif

EndEvent

Event OnAnimationEvent(ObjectReference akSource, string asEventName)

If(akSource == myPod) && (asEventName == "Exit")

Self.UnRegisterForAnimationEvent(myPod, "Exit")

; insert the script stuff to run on wakeup

myPod = None

Self.GotoState("IdleState")

Endif

EndEvent

State IdleState

;blank

EndState

Thank you for your reply and tip.

 

I'm getting a missing value error on pProtectronPodStatus.

 

I'm not sure what value I should enter.

 

 

added:

 

Auto-fill under properties doesn't seem to work.

 

p.s. I don't see a reply button that's why I'm using the quote button to reply..

After you attach the compiled script to a form you need to associate or fill in properties using the [ properties ] button.

 

ps no need to requote stuff.
