Scripting... arg! (help, please?)

[khulse]

I'm having a devil of a time figuring out how to write a script to do what I want. It's simple in concept, but everything I try has failed. I admit I'm very new to scripting.

 

Basicaly, I have a spell with negative effects that I want to add an item, a faction and another spell, then be dispelled - all when the player sleeps. I'm attaching the script to the magic effect itself.

 

Here's what I've got so far:

 

 

Scriptname HivePlayerFactionScript extends ActiveMagicEffect

Faction Property AAHiveFaction Auto

Spell Property hivespell Auto

Book Property hivebook Auto

Actor Property hivePlayer Auto

ActiveMagicEffect Property paracytespell Auto

Event OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)

hivePlayer.RegisterForSleep()

EndEvent

Event OnSleepStart(float afSleepStartTime, float afDesiredSleepEndTime)

hivePlayer.AddToFaction(AAHiveFaction)

hivePlayer.addspell(hivespell)

hivePlayer.additem(hivebook)

EndEvent

Event OnSleepStop(bool abInterrupted)

paracytespell.dispel()

EndEvent

 

I admit, I'm a newb at scripting. Anyone have any idea what it is I'm doing wrong?

 

Edit: I got it to compile, but it still doesn't work. Nothing happens when I sleep. I updated the script with the one that compiled.

I'm sorry, I wish I could help you. I'm having a very similar problem. It's like the addtofaction doesn't do anything in the scripts. I saw one somewhere that instead of addtofaction, it said setteammate or something like that. So, I'm going to look around for that, maybe it could help you. BTW, have you tried adding a debug notification to your script just to test if it is firing?
