Adding a fade to black and timer script...

[Fallout2AM]

 

but never executes the rest of the script.

when they don't finish the execution, it means they crash at a certain point.

I know.... what I don't know is how to fix the script.

[sentimeta]

I thought the script I wrote might have a problem, but I wasn't 100% sure. To fix it, I think the timer has to be in a separate script. This is what I would do (there's probably a better way, but hey):

Create a new quest called BlackBriarWashoeNorthRedoubtTimer. Have Start Game Enabled off, so that it's not constantly running. I would also set the script processing delay to 1 second, or lower, so that the script runs almost instantly.

In the quest script, have:

scn BlackBriarWashoeNorthRedoubtTimerScript

short Timer

Begin gamemode

if Timer < 2
    set Timer to Timer + GetSecondsPassed
else            ;This is what will happen while the screen is black.
    ShowMessage BlackbriarConstructionUnderwayMsg
    SetPCSleepHours 4
    BlackbriarNorthRedoubtGuardPlacement.enable ; places hiring clipboard
        BlackbriarNorthernRedoubtActivatorRef.Enable ; builds redoubt & checkpoints
    BlackbriarNorthRedoubtActivatorRef.Disable ; disables build anvil
    BlackbriarNorthRedoubtActivatorRef.markfordelete
    SetStage BlackbriarOPFire 30
    stopquest BlackBriarWashoeNorthRedoubtTimer
endif

End

Now, back to the BlackbriarNorthRedoubtBuildScript:

scn BlackbriarNorthRedoubtBuildScript

short AwaitingInput
short buttonVar

begin OnActivate
 
	ShowMessage BlackbriarWashoeNorthRedoubtChoiceMesg
	set AwaitingInput to 1
 
end

Begin gamemode

if awaitingInput == 1
	set buttonVar to getbuttonpressed

	if buttonVar > -1
		set awaitingInput to 0
 
		if buttonVar == 0
			If BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarHammer >= 1 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarMetalResource >= 6 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarSandbag >= 18 && BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.GetItemCount BlackbriarResourceWood >= 8                     
				BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.removeitem BlackbriarHammer 1
				BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarSandbag 18
				BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarMetalResource 6
				BlackbriarBaseStorageRef.RemoveItem BlackbriarResourceWood 8

				imod FadeToBlack9sISFX
				PlaySound YourSoundGoesHere
				startquest BlackBriarWashoeNorthRedoubtTimer

			else
				ShowMessage BlackbriarWashoeBuildingMaterialsMsg
			endif
 
		elseif buttonVar == 1
			ShowMessage BlackbriarNextTimeMsg

		endif
	endif
endif

end

I tested a simplified version of this, where I checked for the amount of caps the player had instead of your basestorageref stuff, and it worked for me.

Incidentally, if you want to disable player controls while the screen is black, you could change the timer script to something like this (I didn't test this, but it looks like it should work):

scn BlackBriarWashoeNorthRedoubtTimerScript

short Stage
short timer

Begin Gamemode

if Timer > 0
	set Timer to Timer - GetSecondsPassed
elseif Stage == 0
	set stage to 1
	ShowMessage BlackbriarConstructionUnderwayMsg
	PlaySound YourSoundGoesHere
	disableplayercontrols
	set Timer to 2
elseif Stage == 1	;after 2 seconds, do this
	SetPCSleepHours 4
	BlackbriarNorthRedoubtGuardPlacement.enable ; places hiring clipboard
        BlackbriarNorthernRedoubtActivatorRef.Enable ; builds redoubt & checkpoints
	BlackbriarNorthRedoubtActivatorRef.Disable ; disables build anvil
	BlackbriarNorthRedoubtActivatorRef.markfordelete
	SetStage BlackbriarOPFire 30
	set stage to 2
	set Timer to 2
elseif Stage == 2	;after 2 more seconds (screen is now not black), do this
	enableplayercontrols
	stopquest BlackBriarWashoeNorthRedoubtTimer
endif

End

What am I doing wrong?  The message on the activator shows the top two lines of the message itself.  But that's it.  Shows none of the options... and I can't escape from that screen.











BlackbriarBHChipVendorScript

 

short Button

short PlayerChipAmount

 

begin OnActivate

 

if IsActionRef player == 1

ShowMessage BlackbriarBHChipsMessage1

endif

 

end

 

BEGIN MenuMode 1001

 

set Button to GetButtonPressed

 

if ( Button == 0 )

player.additem BlackbriarBHChip 10

player.RemoveItem caps001 10

elseif ( Button == 1 )

player.additem BlackbriarBHChip 50

player.RemoveItem caps001 50

elseif ( Button == 2 )

player.additem BlackbriarBHChip 250

player.RemoveItem caps001 250

elseif ( Button == 3 )

player.additem BlackbriarBHChip 1000

player.RemoveItem caps001 1000

elseif ( Button == 4 )

player.additem BlackbriarBHChip 5000

player.RemoveItem caps001 5000

elseif ( Button == 5 )

set PlayerChipAmount to player.GetItemCount BlackbriarBHChip

  player.RemoveItem BlackbriarBHChip PlayerChipAmount

player.AddItem caps001 PlayerChipAmount

elseif ( Button == 6 )

ShowMessage BlackbriarCanceltransactionMSG

endif

endif
