help with script on Cave Door

[dutch666]

I need some help with the following script (red):

 

 

ScriptName DAMolagBalCaveDoor01Script

 

Begin OnActivate

 

if ( GetStage DAMolagBal < 100.00 )

MessageBox "This door is held shut by the Will of Molag Bal"

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 100.00 )

MessageBox "Enter, and beware..."

Activate

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 105.00 )

MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 110.00 )

MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

 

endif

endif

endif

endif

 

End

 

When i add the following part to the above script (in red):

 

ScriptName DAMolagBalCaveDoor01Script

 

short doOnce

 

Begin OnActivate

 

if ( GetStage DAMolagBal < 100.00 )

MessageBox "This door is held shut by the Will of Molag Bal"

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 100.00 ) && ( doOnce == 0 )

MessageBox "Enter, and beware..."

Activate

set doOnce to 1

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 105.00 )

MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 110.00 )

MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

 

endif

endif

endif

endif

 

End

 

 

...the MessageBox doesn't come back (good), but the door is accessible only once (bad)...

 

What do i need to add and/or change to make that particular MessageBox appear only once, but also make the door accessible for an infinite number of times?

 

Thnx for the help, Dutch666

 

P.S: I apologies for my bad english, and 2: you will be credited in the README of Oblivion4ever v1.1 if you can help me solve this problem.

Get rid of all those spare endifs. Elseifs and Else only need one endif at the end. I use this format in scripts..that way you'll always know if you place to much of them. If that doesn't work, try just using IF's everywhere:

 

ScriptName DAMolagBalCaveDoor01Script

Begin OnActivate

if ( GetStage DAMolagBal < 100.00 )
	MessageBox "This door is held shut by the Will of Molag Bal"

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 100.00 )
	MessageBox "Enter, and beware..."
	Activate

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 105.00 )
	MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 110.00 )
	MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

endif


End

I echo what above poster said about the endifs.

 

but to answer your question a bit further try this:

 

...
elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 100.00 ) && ( doOnce == 0 )
MessageBox "Enter, and beware..."
Activate
set doOnce to 1

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 100.00 ) && ( doOnce == 1 )
Activate

...

 

That should be the effect you're after.

P.S:

 

 

The Script now looks like this;

 

 

 

ScriptName DAMolagBalCaveDoor01Script

 

short doOnce

 

Begin OnActivate

 

if ( GetStage DAMolagBal < 100.00 )

MessageBox "This door is held shut by the Will of Molag Bal"

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 100.00 ) && ( doOnce == 0 )

MessageBox "Enter, and beware..."

Activate

set doOnce to 1

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 100.00 ) && ( doOnce == 1 )

Activate

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 105.00 )

MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 110.00 )

MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

 

endif

 

End

It sounds like you can speak English quite well, but no one can speak archaic English well.

 

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 105.00 )
MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

elseif ( GetStage DAMolagBal == 110.00 )
MessageBox "You've failed Me, go away and ponder thou sins..."

 

The text should be "ponder thy sins..."

 

In modern English, what you wrote would come out "ponder you sins..."

 

What you meant to say in modern English was, " ponder your sins..."

 

Sorry to nit-pick, but the goal is to make the best mods we can.

 

I will have to watch for your mod when it comes out.
