I need to call 2 scripts from 1 activator

[BarbyFN]

Activators can only have 1 script in GECK, but apparently GECK has a limitation in the length of single scripts, so I divided my long script in two smaller scripts (the script is short but manages too many items). How can I call 2 scripts from 1 activator?

Couldn't you call the 2nd script at the end of the first?

This would be perfect but how? This is my script working:

scn A1DataScript

Short Button

Begin OnActivate
	ShowMessage A1DataMenu
End

Begin GameMode
	set Button to GetButtonPressed

	If ( Button == 0 )
		Activate
	Endif

	If ( Button == 1 )
		Playsound OBJComputerTerminalForward

		If Player.GetHasNote AWMNoteFFStashLocation ==1
			Player.RemoveNote AWMNoteFFStashLocation
			A1TapeMachineREF.AddItem AWMNoteFFStashLocation 1
		Endif

		If Player.GetHasNote AWMNoteMercenary ==1
			Player.RemoveNote AWMNoteMercenary
			A1TapeMachineREF.AddItem AWMNoteMercenary 1
		Endif

		If ... ; and 350 more if/endif blocks that I can separate in 2 scripts.
		
	Endif
Endif

End

Is attached to the container, but I don't know commands to trigger scripts from other scripts, even in GECK official tutorial page.

The script limit is 32,767 characters - that includes spaces and newlines.

Have you checked in Notepad++ if you are within this limit?

 

My knowledge in scripting is very limited. I thought there was an simple, easy and known way to call a script from a script, but apparently I'm wrong.

 

Without knowing anything about it (call it an intuition), I suspect there might be a way for you with Form list.

You can put a "fake" second activator, attach the second script which is written on an OnActivate block, and then in the first script use Activate to trigger it. I never used a solution like this since I mod NV and NVSE gives more possibilities, but I don't see why it shouldn't work, you can specify as parameter WHO is triggering it (I assume Player) and if the OnActivate block should run.

 

However maybe there could be a smarter way to do that with FOSE and lists, it could deserve a look

Thanks Pixelhate and Fallout2AM, after considering all solutions, for this situation I've solved better by using two separated activators (one for text notes and other for audio and video), and it results even better because is easier to find them later according what I want to find (also looks better because I can fill with more devices my home :smile: )
