Scripting troubles

[RuaDragonheart]

So I'm trying to get a button toggle script to work, but the GECK refuses to even recognize the important part: the actual button press script. Every attempt at saving the script gives me a syntax error reading that it doesn't recognize the 'IsKeyPressed' line. Here's the script in question:

 

scn aa3EFdrgnvgscript

float timer;
short refresh;

begin GameMode
if refresh == 0
	if timer < .5
		set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed;
	else
		set timer to 0;
		set refresh to 1;
	endif
else
	if IsKeyPressed == 87
		if aadrgNVGmode == 0
			set aadrgNVGmode to 1;
		else
			set aadrgNVGmode to 0;
			player.removespell, 3EFrcssEffectNVG
		endif
		set refresh to 0;
	endif
endif

end

 

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

IsKeyPressed is an NVSE function, so you have to load the GECK with NVSE.

 

Also, that line should read:

if iskeypressed 87

 

The function requires an argument, and you're passing it an operator instead.

So it doesn't load it automatically? Argh. How would I go about loading it with NVSE?

 

And how should the script look? That's practically modeled after a FO3 mod that does the same, and it works fine in FO3 with FOSE.

Change the target of your GECK shortcut to add -editor after the file path outside the quotation marks.

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\nvse_loader.exe" -editor

Hurrah. My button toggles now work. I just have one little issue I still need to iron out. The mod's set up so that it plays the stealth boy's sound effect and electrical field play/appear when the player crouches with the armor worn. How would I set it up so that it happens with the toggle instead?

Script is thus:

scn aa3EFdrgsscript

float timer;
short refresh;

begin GameMode
    if refresh == 0
        if timer < .5
            set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed;
        else
            set timer to 0;
            set refresh to 1;
        endif
    else
        if IsKeyPressed 88
            if aadrgplatesf == 0
                set aadrgplatesf to 1;
            else
                set aadrgplatesf  to 0;
            endif
            set refresh to 0;
        endif
    endif

end

Not sure what to add to that, or what to remove from other scripts (there's like two others I copied over from the original FO3 mod, I'll post 'em if I need to) or from spell effects or whatever.

EDIT: This is apparently the script handling the sfx and gfx for the cloaking, which is still attached to the sneak mode use.

scn StealthCloak3NVEffect

BEGIN SCRIPTEFFECTSTART
    PMS NightkinCloakFXShader 1
    PlaySound3D RCSS3NVsound01
    SMS NightkinCloakFXShader
END

BEGIN SCRIPTEFFECTFINISH
    PMS NightkinCloakFXShader 1
    PlaySound3D RCSS3NVsound01
    SMS NightkinCloakFXShader
END

Okay. Seems I didn't need to do any further tweaking--one of the actions of the enchantment controlling the sfx/gfx was set to a sneak check instead of a global value check. Changed that around and it works exactly how I want it to, so I'm pretty much good to go. Thanks again for your help, luthienanarion. Couldn't have gotten this far without your expertise.

No problem; scripting is what I do. Glad to hear you got it working like you wanted it to.
