Trying to get this piece of script to save but the geck rejects it

[dieangel68]

This piece of script is not saving, the geck gives no errors but it's just... not saving.

 

scn kdcMiaDialogScript Script

short MiaTalked							; 1 = Player talked to Mia at least once (open the shop option).

short MiaHiredCompanion				; 1 = Player hired Mia

short NPCHungerLevel					; 100 = Starving
short NPCThirstLevel						; 100 = Dehidration
short NPCSleepLevel						; 100 = Sleep deprivation

short NPCHungerRate					; 5
short NPCThirstRate						; 5
short NPCSleepRate						; 5


short MiaCompanionWait				; 1 = Player told Mia to wait

short MiaMentionCaravan				; 1 = Player knows that Mia Plays Caravan.

short MiaMentionPipBoy				; 1 = Player knows that Mia has a broken pipboy
short MiaBootSectorCharged			; 1 = Bootloader has been charged in the pipboy

short init;
float	tick_length;
float 	next_tick;

			;If we notice that we are one day later and time is wrong we do a 24 hours flyback to set the clock to the proper position for the next tick

You have multiple Script names

 

scn kdcMiaDialogScript Script

 

Remove the last script. ;)

Man do i feel dumb now...

 

Second question... is there a "smarter" way to make this convoluted hunger/thirst/sleep timer system than using a gamemode block?

Good question, haha. I say, if it works - Go for it! :laugh: I really lack the know-how on that part. :wacko:

[TallgeeseIV]

i don't think so, you're doing it the same way i do, and the way i've seen everyone else do it. it's unfortunate that there isn't a timer based blocktype, haha.

[dieangel68]

Turns out it was my "and/or" operators (gotta use && and || instead)

 

 

So the way i'm doing is the only way to trigger a function at a regular "ingame" time and do catchup in case of fast travel/wait/sleep?

If you want the scripts to stop failing to compile, then I recommend the GECK PowerUp for New Vegas as it solves that problem. It also solve a bunch of other problems with the GECK, so it is a must-have. I don't mod without it, and neither should anyone else.

[dieangel68]

Thank you for the tips!

 

Also... What would be the best way to apply a malus due to dehidration/hunger/sleep deprivation, can we add a perk to a NPC for example? i'm trying to apply stats malus to my npc while they are in starvation.
