Need help with a script

[hawhaw521]

So when I try entering those lines into the Script Result in quest stages, it erases when i click off of the stage. It won't save no matter what I do

I believe a "Quest Stage" "Script Result" is just looking for the name of a script. You need to put those lines into your own script and save it first.

Oh sorry ... I should have mentioned you need to click the "Compile Result" button just below that field.

That is what saves the script lines. But also , if you are not running Geck Power Up ... could be your problem.

 

Updated the instructions.

Any "Result Script" field functions pretty much like anyother 1 time event script , such as "Begin OnActivate"

 

You just can't declare variables or use Begin Blocks ... They belong to what ever item/event they are found with as far as an ID goes.

 

And I'm not to sure how well you can use conditional statements within them ?... but usually there is a condition field that can be used to control when commands in them are executed.

But I guess it is pretty much just batch commands type usage ?

And while we are here on the subject of "Result Script" fields.

 

I thought I would go ahead and clarify what I think a lot of people mis understand between the terms ,,, "Script Result" & "Result Script"

 

The first word in each term is an adjective to the second word noun.

 

Script results are an intangible noun of what we are trying to achieve from script coding.

&

Result scripts are a specific batch of coding upon the result of some event item , which holds the form ID

 

Both terms get used quite often with modding , and I think ... very easily confused.

Just thought I would mention ... sorry if it was geeky of me :geek:

Thanks for the clarification. Such distinctions ARE important and easily confused. The GECK seems to always be tripping me up in that regard. I'll be adding that to the "Getting started" article.

Well make sure you frame it in the appropriate context ... But see ... it is a complex mess to some degree.

 

Untill you get to understand why the engine dose what it douse.

 

Then that is when ... ;)

 

you are not tripped up as much as you would like us to believe ... you smart cookie !
