Furniture script

[Hickory]

I am trying to determine if it is possible to check if a player is entering (ie. about to sit, lie) OR exiting a piece of furniture. I know you can use OnActivate, but that is no good (at least in the ways I have tried), because I need to know (and keep track of) if the player is getting up from, is starting to use or is using the furniture. I want to avoid using OBSE. Each attempt I have made has ended up with the condition firing whether the player sits or gets up. My head hurts.

 

Imaginary scenario:

A player sits on a chair, at which point a sound plays.

While the player is *still* sitting on the chair a sound plays intermittently at random.

When the player gets up off the chair no more sounds, especially at the stage of exiting the chair (this is where I have stumbled using OnActivate).

 

Hope that makes sense.

Combine that with some conditions on your furniture and it should work.

Now, if you want to stream music without OBSE you're more or less SOL unless it's a public place...

Thank you both, I will give GetSitting a try.

 

Update: Thanks guys, GetSitting was just the job. :thumbsup:

Perfect then. What's your code if we can be curious?

In essence:

   	; Make sure the player is not already sitting, or waiting to get up
   	If ( ( player.GetSitting != 3 ) && ( player.GetSitting != 4 ) )
		; Do some stuff
   	EndIf
