Toggle Enable/Disable Using Terminal Scripts

[RedBeakRaven]

Hello all,

 

So, I'm starting to get back into modding and thought I'd give a bit of scripting another go, but it fails to be interesting for me and I just cannot get my head around it. Basically, I'm creating an interior workshop, but I want some lights and other objects to be toggled on or off via a terminal. Now I could just create a bunch of sub menus and use a simple enable script, but I'd rather have a list of options and the ability to just select one and toggle an item on or off.

 

I've tried compiling something like this together in the terminal's papyrus section:

 

Event OnMenuItemRun(int auiMenuItemID, ObjectReference akTarget)
If (WorkshopIntOilLanternsREF.IsEnable())
WorkshopIntOilLanternsREF.disable()
Else
WorkshopIntOilLanternsREF.enable()
EndIf
endEvent

 

but as some might be able to tell, it doesn't work. What I get is:

 

TERM_InteriorWorkshopTermin_02005C2A_1.psc(7,0): no viable alternative at input 'Event'
No output generated for Fragments:Terminals:TERM_InteriorWorkshopTermin_02005C2A_1, compilation failed.

 

And that's my issue. So any help with this would be appreciated, whether that be giving me a script o copy and paste or just some pointers.

 

Thanks.

If this is to be activated from a terminal menu item, you don’t need to include the Event. Terminals work from script fragments, and using an full script as you have won’t compile.

 

Try using only the if/else portion of your script:

If (WorkshopIntOilLanternsREF.IsEnabled())
            WorkshopIntOilLanternsREF.disable()
Else
       WorkshopIntOilLanternsREF.enable()
       EndIf

EDIT: just noticed that you have "IsEnable" in the first line of your "if" statement...that needs to be IsEnabled.

Thanks a lot RedRocketTV, I'll give it a whirl later and see what happens.
