Papyrus Scripting

[sagittarius22]

Hi,

 

I've a script here; I'd like it to be run during gamemode, never stopping; but for some reasons it does not seem to work, even if the script compiles without errors... Here it is:

 

Scriptname SAGPlayerInChargenMyScript extends Quest

Quest Property MyProperty  Auto
Spell Property Rested Auto
SPell Property WellRested Auto
Spell Property MarriageRested Auto
Function SomeFunction()              
 registerForUpdate(0.5) ; Before we can use onUpdate() we must register.
EndFunction

Event OnUpdate()
if Game.GetPlayer().HasSpell(Rested) || Game.GetPlayer().HasSpell(WellRested) || Game.GetPlayer().HasSpell(MarriageRested)
Debug.MessageBox("Its okay")
registerForUpdate(0.5)
else
registerForUpdate(0.5)
Debug.MessageBox("Not Okay")
Endif
EndEvent

 

No message appear, so that means something is done wrong...

The function SomeFunction() needs to be called or it wont run (it wont run automatically)

 

try EVENT OnInit() instead

what are you attempting to do exactly? see if the player has slept?

[sagittarius22]

I'm trying to see if the player is under the WellRested effect...

Meh, I was only asking because this seems to be the exact thing I was trying to accomplish with my mod. I need to know when the payer has slept, but I wasn't sure if it was more effective to have a continuously running script or script the beds themselves. I still am not sure which is more efficient. :psyduck:

 

EDIT: But I agree w/ philip. Something needs to be using a function. Better to have an event which starts it. :thumbsup:

Thanks I'll try this :-)

additonally, you only need to RegisterForUpdate(0.5) once, and itll send an update event every 0.5 seconds. To ask for single update use RegisterForSingleUpdate(0.5), or keep it as it is and use UnregisterForUpdate() when you dont need updates anymore

I made this:

Scriptname SAGPlayerInChargenMyScript extends Quest  


Quest Property MyProperty  Auto  
Spell Property Rested Auto
SPell Property WellRested Auto
Spell Property MarriageRested Auto

Function SomeFunction()                
 registerForUpdate(0.5) 
EndFunction


Event OnInit()
SomeFunction()
if Game.GetPlayer().HasSpell(Rested) || Game.GetPlayer().HasSpell(WellRested) || Game.GetPlayer().HasSpell(MarriageRested)
	Debug.MessageBox("Its okay")
else
	Debug.MessageBox("Not Okay")
Endif
EndEvent

But it does not have any effect :psyduck:

SomeFunction should not be in the OnInit event. Because if that is looping then it is constantly asking to register for updates.

is that script attached to a quest or something? if it isnt attached to anything it wont run
