Problems with scripting.Help!!

[vilkatis]

I want to make a bottle of nuka cola change to a bottle of ice nuka cola if it is added to a fridge

and this is the script,that i added to the bottle

 

 

scn NukaColaScript

float timer

ref rContainer

float ncount

Begin OnAdd

set timer to 0

set rContainer to GetContainer

if rContainer.GetIsID RefrigeratorWithFood

ShowMessage NukaColaMessage

set ncount to rContainer.GetItemCount NukaCola

if ncount > 0

rContainer.additem MS05IceNukaCola ncount

set ncount to rContainer.GetItemCount MS05IceNukaCola

if timer < 3

set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed

else

rContainer.removeitem NukaCola ncount

endif

endif

endif

End

 

 

the problem is that the timer doesnt work in onAdd blocks..as it seems

i dont know what to do i tried making a gamemode block to run the timer..and it ends up crashing the game

here it is

 

 

scn NukaColaScript

 

ref rContainer

int nCheck

 

Begin onAdd

set nCheck to 1

set rContainer to GetContainer

if rContainer.GetIsID RefrigeratorWithFood

if (rContainer.GetItemCount NukaCola > 0)

rContainer.additem MS05IceNukaCola 1

endif

endif

end

 

float timer

 

begin GameMode

if nCheck == 1

if timer < 3

set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed

else

if (rContainer.GetItemCount NukaCola > 0)

removeme

set nCheck to 0

set timer to 0

endif

endif

endif

end

Have you tried changing the script so that it works on the fridge rather than the bottle? It may need a bit of a shuffle around script-wise, but it's far easier in the long run :)

Thanks!Yeah i changed it and added the script to the fridge.i just didnt want it to run in a GameMode block

can i possibly make it run differently?its my first time using scripts in fallout and i`m inclined to think that GameMode blocks run all the time,so they would slow the performance of the game

is there any check i can do so the script wouldn't run all the time? like only if the player is in vicinity of the fridge or something?

or some other check..

"Fridge".getdistance player >= 50 (or other)

something like that:

 

begin gamemode

if Fridge.getdistance player >= 50

return ;the script ends here,the game won't read the rest

else ;or endif

Rest of your script
