Why Wont This Script Work?

[Mlucci4036]

I had this idea in mind that when the player enters this trigger, they will undergo a capture like the one experienced with the Enclave in Fo3.

 

With the script I made, I'm able to disable the player controls and cause the player to fall to the ground, but the timers will not work. Is there any reason why the screen won't fade to black and why the player will not be moved to the next marker?

 

 

scn BigAppleMetroEndScript

float timer

BEGIN OnTriggerEnter player

set timer to timer+getsecondspassed

disableplayercontrols 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

player.AddScriptPackage NVDLC01PlayerKnockedOut

if(timer>=2)&&(Timer<3)

imod fadetoblackpermanent

endif

if(timer>=6)&&(Timer<7)

player.removescriptpackage

player.moveto WakeupREF

endif

endif

END

​Yes, the reason is that you need a GameMode block, otherwise that script runs only for one frame.
​
​Try something like this:

scn BigAppleMetroEndScript

float timer

Begin OnTriggerEnter player

	DisablePlayerControls 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
	player.AddScriptPackage NVDLC01PlayerKnockedOut
	set timer to -1

End

Begin GameMode

	if timer == 0
		Return	;trim CPU usage
	elseif timer == -1
		set timer to 7
		GetSecondsPassed ;ensure GetSecondsPassed returns a desirable value in the next frame
		Return ;skip the rest of the frame
	endif

	set timer to timer - GetSecondsPassed

	if timer >= 4 && timer <= 5
		imod fadetoblackpermanent
	elseif timer > 0 && timer <= 1
		player.RemoveScriptPackage
		player.MoveTo WakeupREF
		set timer to 0
	endif

End

End

That worked perfectly, thanks!

You're welcome.

​Actually, now that I take a second look at it, I realize this should work better and it is even shorter:

scn BigAppleMetroEndScript

float timer
int stage

Begin OnTriggerEnter player

	DisablePlayerControls 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
	player.AddScriptPackage NVDLC01PlayerKnockedOut
	GetSecondsPassed ;ensure GetSecondsPassed returns a desirable value in the next frame
	set timer to 6
	set stage to 1

End

Begin GameMode

	if stage == 0
		Return	;trim CPU usage
	elseif stage == 1 && timer <= 4
		imod fadetoblackpermanent
		set stage to -1
	elseif timer > 0
		set timer to timer - GetSecondsPassed
	else
		player.RemoveScriptPackage
		player.MoveTo WakeupREF
		set stage to 0
	endif

End
