Advanced Scripting Help

Yes, I completely forgot the variable list, sorry. Here are the relevant variables for the script above:

short initialized
float last_tick
float time_passed
float current_thirst
float current_hunger
float current_sleep
float old_thirst
float old_hunger
float old_sleep

Except for the boolean initialized var, they're all floats as they deal with values returned from or modified by GameDaysPassed.

So with some modifications and some luck I have successfully turned your script into a script for dynamic fuel consumption! I can't thank both of you enough, I never thought this script could work without some fault but at last it works! In case your curious here is the refined script for my generator:

 

float LastTick
float FuelLevel
float StoredFuelLevel

 

;Power Systems
if (FuelLevel < 0)
set FuelLevel to 0
endif

if (GMGeneratorPanelTier1Ref.GetDisabled == 0)
if (GMGeneratorPanelTier1Ref.Running == 1)
set PowerTier to 1
if (FuelLevel >= 1) && (FuelConsumption != 1)
set LastTick to GameDaysPassed
Set FuelConsumption to 1
elseif (FuelLevel <= 0)
set GMGeneratorPanelTier1Ref.Running to 0
endif
elseif (GMGeneratorPanelTier1Ref.Running == 0)
set PowerTier to 0
set FuelConsumption to 0
endif
endif

if (GMGeneratorPanelTier2Ref.GetDisabled == 0)
if (GMGeneratorPanelTier2Ref.Running == 1)
set PowerTier to 2
if (FuelLevel >= 1) && (FuelConsumption != 1)
set LastTick to GameDaysPassed
Set FuelConsumption to 1
elseif (FuelLevel <= 0)
set GMGeneratorPanelTier1Ref.Running to 0
endif
elseif (GMGeneratorPanelTier1Ref.Running == 0)
set PowerTier to 0
set FuelConsumption to 0
endif
endif

if (FuelConsumption == 1)
set StoredFuelLevel to FuelLevel
set GeneratorRuntime to GameDaysPassed - LastTick
set FuelLevel to FuelLevel - GeneratorRuntime * 1440
set LastTick to GameDaysPassed
endif

That's great news! Glad we were able to help you. :thumbsup:

@ GeneralGred: glad you got this working. It's a very cool concept in that most places outside the strip kinda needed an explanation for where they get power from. I really like little touches of realism like that. Sorry I ended up with less time to try to help with it than I initially anticipated, but I'm very glad you managed to get this working.

 

@ ladez: I had no idea gameDaysPassed could work like that. I may see if I can use that in place of the timer I was using for vertibird travel scripting. That's a handy little trick.
