script is confusing the !@#$ out of me. HELP!?!

[Pronam]

This fact has to do that most containers have animations. Animations have to be run before the container will be opened, as that won't process if you're not near/in the same cell it will not execute properly. Yet with the 'house'-container (that doesn't use an animation) it doesn't seem to work either, so it might not be possible to do at all.

I've experienced this as this is possible in Oblivion, yet not in Fallout3 due to this addition.

Perhaps there is a workaround, but I couldn't find it.

Maybe it would work more reliably in an "onUnEquip" block.

 

idk i dont think that would work for what i need..

i put it on the equip so as soon as you hit the button for the hotkeyed item it would activate this container and unequips it self.

 

if it was on a unequip you would first have to equip the item.. and then unequip it to fire the script..

 

unless i had a GAMEMODE block running looking for that item being equipped

and then firing upon that condition.. but that seems like a really long route to accomplish a simple task..

 

is there really no other way???

ok i missed this post somehow and damn.. that is teh suck.. but you gave me an idea...

 

if this is due to the animation.. it is easily fixed..

in one part of my mod i have 3 containers that are somewhat unusual.. the middle part of the zax console is one container.. and the other two are .5 scale electrical boxes.. ya know the ones from the metros that blow up...

 

neither of these items were intended as containers and as such have NO animation associated..

 

so what i am going to do is change the script to point to one of these containers and test several cells away... if it all works out i will create a new container sans animation that fits what i was looking for originally and praise you for fixing this boggle!!

[angelwraith]

ok so i tried it and the activator workedall the way from raven rock.. which is pretty much as far as you can get from where i need to be... then i put the old ref back in and it worked too... soo i guess its just being its unpredictable ass self and ill just have to wait for it to break again.. save and then switch the ref

 

which is fine for the moment.. i dont mind it so much when its working..

 

i should try it from one of the DLCs

i even tried pcb to force the cell to unload in hopes of provoking the problem.. but no go.

[Cipscis]

If it works when the container is in the cell, why not just use MoveTo to move the container to the player before activating it? As far as I know, you can still activate disabled containers just fine if forced to via the Activate function, so you could just Disable it so that it doesn't get in the way. That should prevent any timing issues due to animations as well.

ok so the idea is then to

1. disable the ref

2. move it to current cell

3. activate it

4. reset original container location

5. re-enable the ref

 

im tired.. its almost 3 am so trying to put this together in meh head isnt working too well (beeerr is no help either)

 

in the morning ill try to put together something to do this see if it works

 

seems like a failsafe way to approach the problem though

 

although to be honest.. if its really just the animation issue it seems like it would be easier to make a animation-less container like the other 3 i am using..

and if im really really bothered by the lack of animation while looking at the safe, i think i could bury the actual reference and put up a fake one in its place that gets activated by teh burried containers activation

 

and vice versa of course the fake could activate the burried one when activated by touch rather than by the item

actually it just hit me..

i can test if removing the animation would help and try your idea about activating a disabled ref all at the same time

 

next time i get the error ill just disable the container from console and try again..

 

thatll answer both questions

 

cause if it starts to work then it confirms the animation culprit and allows me a way to activate the container without moving anything

[angelwraith]

ok so a new problem now.. this is a different script on a activator

 

ONLY the first option works.. the second click always closes the window like you clicked "none"

outside of the second click not doing what it is supposed to the script runs like i need it to.
