Self-Recharging Weapons

[andersonsmith969]

I tried attaching an object script with the commands "modcurrentcharge 1 " and "setcurrenthealth 1" to make a weapon self-recharge and never run out of health, but they don't do anything. I just stuck them under a gamemode block.

Hmm, as this seems to be the way those functions are used indeed, I need to ask if you're also starting your game via OBSE now, as those are OBSE functions and not doing so will just make the script terminate when it reaches a now-'unknown' function call. There will be no errors or warnings.

 

If it helps, you could try using

ref myself

...

set myself to GetSelf

myself.ModCurrentCharge 1
myself.SetCurrentHealth 1

so now it definitely "is" a reference there.

 

But as a sidenote, a health of 1 will make your weapon almost broken already. It'd be better to set it to the Base Health or something as obtainable via GetObjectHealth, so it's always 100% intact, instead.

 

edit: Oh, and in case all else fails, a little debugging via 'PrintToConsole "I just passed call XYZ"' to see if the script passed a function call at all could never hurt.

Thank you, I always wondered what all of the refself stuff was about in the vanilla scripts. And I was just using an example, I would never set the health to 1.

 

I'll see what I can dig up.
