[LE] Activator - Conditions Not Working ('ifs' + 'else') to SetStage

[Didact2805]

Hi there,

 

I'm making an activator where, on Stage 73, it should display Message 1 AND also SetStage the Quest to Stage 74.

 

Upon 2nd activation I want it to Set the Stage to 76 (So activating the activator X2 set the Stages to 74 and 76 respectively).

 

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)

if BBX_TestQuestProperty.GetStage() == 73

BBX_TestQuestProperty.SetStage (74)

Debug.MessageBox("Stage 74 Successful.")

else

BBX_TestQuestProperty.SetStage (76)

Debug.MessageBox("Stage 76 Successful.")

The script does compile successfully, however, ONLY the Stage 76 message box appears on activation instead of '74' then '76'. Was wondering what is required to set it properly.

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't work that way. The else will only run if the stage is already set to 74. To run the else statement, that code would need run again after the stage has been set to 74.

 

if (this happens to be true at time this statement is run)

; this will fire, and the else will not be checked

 

else (this happens if the above statement is false)

;

endif

 

there's also this which may fit more into what you want

 

if (this happens to be true at the time this statement is run)

; run this code no other statements

elseif (the above statement was false so run this one)

; no other statements run after this

elseif (see above..)

; see above

else (when everything else is false)

; run this

endif

To figure it out a bit more, what Rasikko already explained to you.

 

If you forgot to fill "BBX_TestQuestProperty" in the CK, only messagebox with 76 will be shown.

If you filled the quest property right, show next script.

Thanks! Came up with this thanks to your input and it works like a charm:

 

Scriptname AAX_C2Q3ArdaalinePrisonCrystal extends ObjectReference

GlobalVariable Property AAX_C2Q3CrystalCount Auto

Quest Property AAX_C2Q3Property Auto

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)

If AAX_C2Q3CrystalCount.GetValue() < 1

AAX_C2Q3CrystalCount.SetValue(AAX_C2Q3CrystalCount.GetValue() + 1)

AAX_C2Q3Property.SetStage(75)

AAX_C2Q3Property.SetObjectiveDisplayed(75)

AAX_C2_Q3_ArdaalinePrisonCrystal01.Disable()

AAX_C2_Q3_PrisonCrystalBeam01.Disable()

Debug.MessageBox("You disrupt the flow of magicka by distorting the configuration of the crystals.")

elseIf AAX_C2Q3CrystalCount.GetValue() == 1

AAX_C2Q3Property.SetStage(75)

AAX_C2Q3Property.SetObjectiveDisplayed(77)

AAX_C2_Q3_ArdaalinePrisonCrystal01.Disable()

AAX_C2_Q3_PrisonCrystalBeam01.Disable()

Debug.MessageBox("You disrupt the flow of magicka by distorting the configuration of the crystals.")

Endif

endEVENT

ObjectReference Property AAX_C2_Q3_ArdaalinePrisonCrystal01 Auto
