Need a helping hand (Script)

[ObLars]

Well, yesterday i started on a little project of mine, but i can't seem to get the script to end when i want it to.

 

Scn BighornUrinGatherBigScript

Begin OnActivate

If getdead == 0

Player.additem BighornUrin 3

elseif getdead != 1

endif
end

 

This script will add Bighorn urine x 3 to my inventory if i activate a bighorn when its alive, and not when its dead. Thats good and all, but the script won't let me search the dead bighorn once i kill it, since the script is, somehow still going OnActivate. (Only reasonable cause i can think of). Could someone with a tad more scripting experience then myself maybe point out the error (s) and try and help me out? TIA. :)

I can think of an approach to this that might work, though I'm not 100% sure about it. Anyway, you know how the Mister Sandman perk works? It adds an extra option (by adding a button named "Murder") when you activate sleeping human NPC. So, what if you did the same thing, add an "extract urine" button when you activate a living Bighorn. It doesn't force you to extract the urine, it'll just give you that extra option. Here are some screenshots as examples.

 

Entry point for Mister Sandman perk:

Entry point for a perk that let's you extract Bighorn Urine:

Where it says "YOUR SCRIPT HERE" just place your script without checking if the target is dead since the condition for the entry point can do that for you.

 

EDIT: Misread your post, thought it was from dead Bighorns, so the second image is slightly wrong, the condition would be if GetDead = 0.

Hmmmm, that might actually work :o But how would i, say.. enable it once a week. With a script i could code a timer. Thanks for the help! :P I'll be sure to test it out ;)

No idea what causes it, but again, i can't search the dead animal. :( Even with the perk. But once i remove the perk and the script, the animal acts as usual, granting the search option like always. :s

Bump - Still need advice.

Why not give the bighorners a new death item that you harvest from their bodies just like any other loot? No script needed.

Cause that would mean the whole point of this mod would be ruined, i want to be able to harvest them over time, for profits. Im trying to make a ranch, like a cattle farmer. Getting by-products from them over time, then kill them for the meat. And have some kind of a Respawn script or something..

The only problem i got is that the Script makes so that the attached animal won't let me search it when it's dead. The (search) message shows on hoover, i click activate, but it wont give me the animals container..

Maybe you could make it a quest script that will add the items to the bighorners' inventory every x days.

That could be a viable option, but not what i was thinking of. Now, is there a way to prompt inventory search via the script? By adding i.e OpenTeammateContainer 1?
