Call a Property from an Object - Scripting Help

[D1v1ne122]

Hi, I'm trying to call a property called Filter_Charge from another script on an object called GasMaskFilter to a GasMask to manipulate a variable. I'm having trouble pulling the variable without errors (I think it's just a lack of syntax knowledge). Any help is welcomed.

 

Gas Masks

Scriptname GasMask:GasMask extends ObjectReference

int TimerID0 = 0
Spell property WastelandRadiation auto
Sound Property VOCPlayerSprintOutOfBreath1st const auto
ObjectReference GasMaskFilter
Keyword GasMask

Function RestartTimer()                
  StartTimer(60, TimerID0) ; 
EndFunction

Event OnEquipped(Actor akActor)
	If (akActor.WornHasKeyword(GasMask) == true) && (akActor == Game.GetPlayer())
		RestartTimer() ;Start the timer to consume filters
	endIf
EndEvent
	
Event OnTimer(int aiTimerID0)		
  If aiTimerID0 == TimerID0 ; The 60 second timer we started just expired
	If  GasMaskFilter.Filter_Charge.Get() == 0;
		Game.GetPlayer().RemoveItem(GasMaskFilter, 1)
		int instance1 = VOCPlayerSprintOutOfBreath1st.play(self); play SFX sound from my self
		Sound.SetInstanceVolume(instance1, 1);    
	else
		GasMaskFilter.Filter_Charge.Set(GasMaskFilter.Filter_Charge.Get() - 10); Remove 10 charge from the item
	endIf
    RestartTimer(); Reset the timer back
  endIf
EndEvent

GasMaskFilter: Property Filter_Charge

Scriptname GasMask_Charge extends ObjectReference

ObjectReference GasMaskFilter
int Charge = 50
int Property Filter_Charge

	int Function Get()
		return Charge
	EndFunction

	Function Set(int i)
		If Charge > 0
			Charge = i
		endIf
	EndFunction

EndProperty

What exact error are you receiving?

[D1v1ne122]

I have a series of errors that are a little confusing to me. Most of them seem related to the same lines. I've been trying to mimic the examples but I don't think I'm getting the context of the examples.

The main problem as I see it is that you never define GasMaskFilter in your scripts. And by that I mean you never say in the script what GasMaskFilter points towards, so the compiler can't reference anything.

[D1v1ne122]

Alright. How do I reference to it? I thought ObjectReference GasMaskFilter was the pointer but I'm obviously mistaken. Can you provide an example of pointing to an object and its properties?

 

Right now, GasMask is attached to GasMask Objects and GasMask_Charge is attached to GasMaskFilters.

You will want to make them Properties and use the CK to point to the GasMaskFilters.

[D1v1ne122]

Do you mean make Properties that mimic their object like a GasMask property and a GasMaskFilter property?

[Reneer]

Yes. The problem is that you will need to reference more than one gas mask object in order for your script to work properly. I would recommend that you consider rewriting your mod to use a quest script instead of Objectreferences.

[D1v1ne122]

How do I use a quest script in this sense? Attach the Quest to an object?

No, you would just create a quest and use remote events to determine when the player equips gas masks.
