Actor Object Script Disappears on Reload

[jaredl]

I have applied an object script to an actor which will work the first time I load a game. If I reload the game the script no longer works like it isn't there. Is there something I am missing?

short toggle



Begin GameMode



	if toggle == 0

		set iConfidence to getav confidence

	endif



	if player.GetAnimAction == 2

	&& GetActorAggroRadiusViolated == 1

		set toggle to 1

		setav confidence 0

		startcombat player

	endif

	

	if timer < 1 && toggle == 1

		set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed

	else

		setav confidence, iConfidence

		set toggle to 0

		set timer to 0

	endif



End

setav confidence, iConfidence

 

is that a comma?

 

Also:

if player.GetAnimAction == 2
&& GetActorAggroRadiusViolated == 1

 

I guess this is on a single line

Yes that is a comma. I saw it used that way in an example script online and it seems to be the only way I can use a variable with that function.

 

The second part is not on a single line but GECK lets me save it and it does work, at least on the first load. I will try it on the same line and see if it makes a difference.

Even this compile:

 

if player.GetAnimAction == 2 && || %% GetActorAggroRadiusViolated == 1

 

I don't blindly trust the compiler

I have applied an object script to an actor

Applied how? Is the script attached to the actor by default, or are you using the SetScript command to attach it? If the latter, then the issue you're describing is to be expected, as SetScript doesn't work properly (as of NVSE 4.5b7).

Even this compile:

 

if player.GetAnimAction == 2 && || %% GetActorAggroRadiusViolated == 1

 

I don't blindly trust the compiler

I went ahead and edited it into the same line but results were the same.

The script is attached to the base actor by default. For the rest I use the template flag Use Scripts. It turns out the scripts were working on other NPCs, but I was just testing on the same ones over which lose their script after a second load. 00157B37 is the FormID of the Placed Object of one of the NPCs (FalloutNV.esm). Perhaps if someone could take a look.

did you remove the comma too?

 

after that, I would printC every script line, to see what exactly is executed and what's not, and when. And I would reload an older save, before the mod, or start a new game.

The comma is syntactically correct, but it's optional so most leave it out.
