Scripting Help

Does anyone know if you can have 2 begin blocks in a Fallout New vegas script, I know you can in fallout 3- I used it a lot but this script will not work

Also this is an example not what I am working on or even properly functional

just using as an example

 

the New Vegas gsck would reject this even though the fallout3 geck would not, does anyone know why ?

 

scn randomscript

ref self

short death

 

Begin ondeath

set self to getself

self.add laserpistol 1

set death to 1

end

 

begin onactivate

set self to getself

if death == 0

else

self.kill

endif

end

I assume this is an object script that is attached to an actor? I have not had any problems with two blocks in one script. I see a couple potential problems:

 

The ondeath block should have Additem instead of Add. This is probably what is preventing your script from saving. Also, I'm not sure if laserpistol is a valid editor id, but I assume you're using a correct one in your real script.

 

The onactivate block looks like it wants to kill the actor when you activate it, however the only time the kill command will run is if the actor is already dead. The GECK should be fine with this section of the script though.

I am using three blocks in a script and it works as intended.

Using GetSelf in that way does nothing but invite trouble. The following two pieces of code will do exactly the same thing, except the version that uses GetSelf is slightly less efficient and will not work under some conditions:

Begin OnActivate player
Kill
End

ref self

Begin OnActivate player
set self to GetSelf
self.KillActor
End

The GECK will refuse to save if it detects any error, although it won't tell you what the problem is. You can fix that by using this - The GECK PowerUp for New Vegas

 

The problem in this case seems to be that you're trying to use "Add" instead of AddItem. The doesn't recognise it as a function, so the script won't save.

 

There is no problem whatsoever with using multiple begin/end blocks in a single script.
