ReferenceAlias Help

[xrws31]

Kinda at the end of my tether here.

 

The script below is just not sending anything to my debug logs. Yes logs are enabled.

 

I have created a new quest, given the quest a priority of 99, "start game enabled" is checked, created a quest alias, used Specific Reference to link the alias to the Player (Ref: 'PlayerRef' (00000014) to NPC_ 'Player' (00000007)), and attached the script below to this alias, ie. the player.

 

I know this is an incredibly simple script. This is me debugging to find out why the hell my other scripts using player alias aren't working.

 

Scriptname trialplayerupdate extends ReferenceAlias

Event OnLoad()
Debug.Trace("RAWR")
RegisterForUpdate(1)
endEvent

Event OnUpdate()
Debug.Trace("rawr!!")	
endEvent

 

Not a rawr to be seen in logs.

I'm guessing OnLoad isn't firing because, presumably, the player's 3D is always loaded, and OnUpdate won't fire because the player isn't registered for any updates.

While that makes sense, I have the same problem with OnInit, OnCellLoad and OnCellAttach. I just need some way of setting the registerUpdate ticking. All other Events I can find are either too situational or completely irrelevant. Edited February 21, 2012 by xrws31

Bump. I can't be the only one trying to do something like this.

Oops, didn't read your second comment. I use OnInit() in a script attached to a quest alias attached to the Player without any trouble.

 

Maybe attach a script to the Quest, and use OnInit() in the Quest script?
