Basic Spawn timer

[soaren]

I'm trying to get waves of enemies working however, I can't even get a few to spawn without any conditions (so why bother with the timer until I figure this out):

 

;Spawns Powder Gangers

 

scn VXPowderGangerSpawnScript

 

begin gamemode

 

VXPowderGangerSpawn.placeatme NCRCFPowderGangerGunAAM3 1

VXPowderGangerSpawn.placeatme NCRCFPowderGangerGunAAM3 1

VXPowderGangerSpawn.placeatme NCRCFPowderGangerGunAAM3 1

VXPowderGangerSpawn.placeatme NCRCFPowderGangerGunAAM3 1

 

end

 

VXPowderGangerSpawn is an xmarkerheading's reference editor ID (the nickname you can give to it). This xmarkerheading has persistent reference checked. This is where I want the powder gangers to spawn.

NCRCFPowderGangerGunAAM3 is a powder ganger (not a spawnmarker, and actual NPC) that was in vanilla new vegas. I have not edited it at all.

 

Whenever I teleport to this test room I have the marker in "using coc X in console" the guys don't appear. I was in the chat room, and noone there could assist me. This has been an all-nighter lol.

 

Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks

it should work. try one placeatme per frame.

is Your script actually running ?... use showmessage to ensure.

Also Your game would crash soon with that script... 60 FPS x 4 per second powder gangers...

 

Just for frack sake I tried it from quest script and it works - which means Your script is most likely not running.
