Some help with scripts needed <3

[Somaru]

Hey, guys! I'm having a bit of an issue getting Fallout 4 to actually use my compiled scripts. I'm 90% sure that the script syntax is fine as it was only some edits to the raiding intervals for settlements.

 

IE: The check that determines if it's been a minimum of 7 in game days before being potentially raided again

IE: The maximum amount of settlers allowed in any given settlement

 

The issue in particular is that the game doesn't seem to be using my script and is still using the default settings. I recall reading that sometimes the game may take a few in game days to start using the new script, but after waiting weeks in game and nothing, I'm starting to wonder.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Can you post the script?

 

And you can check how many days have passed via GameDay.GetValue()(make property first), and use a bit of comparing and math between days, if the day has changed. That is a valid method as long as it's in the same month.

This is the modified bit from Workshopscript, a base game script that I edited in order to make raids far more frequent (Or that was the plan...)

[shavkacagarikia]

This script does nothing as you have only defined variables. There is no logic which tells the game what to do.

As stated, this is the modified portion of the WorkshopScript. Nothing else in the script was modified. It's exactly the same as Vanilla except for this segment. The entire script is waaay long and would be horrible to paste.

Are you editing the workshop script? Or extending it?

I'm just editing some of the values. The only things I've edited are in the above paste.

[kinggath]

Changing existing scripts can be a pain, a lot of the data and functions end up stored in your save file (prevents your save from being corrupted and probably aids in optimization), which is why you sometimes have to wait a few in game days for the scripts to update.

 

I'd first try editing a value you can test easily, for example, the vendor max income and multiplier. To test it, find one of your settlements that is creating the max caps before your change, save, exit, then change the script and sleep 24 hours so your workshop updates again and check if they created more caps this time or the same amount (you may have to find something to do after sleeping/waiting 24 hours as the workshop daily update may not complete immediately).
