Adding to faction via trigger box

[Quetzlsacatanango]

I have a trigger box, and I want anyone that triggers it to be added to a faction.

 

My script looks like:

 

scn QTriggerScript	

ref rFA

Begin OnTriggerEnter

Set rFA to getself

rFA.addtofaction QFaction 10


End

 

I tried it without the variable at all, simply putting the 'addtofaction' line, and that didn't work, then I tried it this way.

 

I have rarely if ever used reference variable, but this compiles fine and seems like it should work. But NPCs entering the trigger don't join the faciton. What up with that?

Sorry, I'm not Cipscis (then, who is?), but...

 

In your script GetSelf will return the trigger, not the NPC who activated the trigger. Try GetActionRef instead.

I don't now if the player matters, but you might want to check for the player and not add the faction to him.

That was it, muchas gracias. I had read that Getactionref was only good inside an OnActivate block, but apparently that was incorrect.

According to the wiki:

This function is only useful inside an OnActivate, OnTriggerEnter, OnTriggerLeave, or OnTrigger block.
