TheWanderer001 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Okay it now seems that far from working 9 out of 10 time... the "Event OnUpdateGameTime()" is now never called at all.I put a 'Debug.Notification("here") as the first line of that event it never displays. ???

Ghaunadaur Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Events can't be used within fragment scripts. This needs to be in a seperate script, attached to your quest, and called from the dialogue script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWanderer001 Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Thanks for input :) I removed the event from the fragment script and added a new script to the quest under the scripts tap with just the Event in iteverything compiled and properties updated...but still the OnUpdateGameTime() is not firing. What I have in the fragment is... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-;BEGIN FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the end comment;NEXT FRAGMENT INDEX 2Scriptname TIF__062E8C48 Extends TopicInfo Hidden ;BEGIN FRAGMENT Fragment_1Function Fragment_1(ObjectReference akSpeakerRef) Actor akSpeaker = akSpeakerRef as Actor ;BEGIN CODE TWMHGHStage.SetValueInt( 2 ) Debug.Notification("Wait started...

Ghaunadaur Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) With that script you will register the fragment script for update, but needs to be on the quest script.For that, you can add a function to the quest script like this: Function StartRegister() RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime(24.0)EndFunction Then call the function from the fragment script (GetOwningQuest() as TWTimerScript).StartRegister() Also possible to use states for that purpose.See: GotoState, OnBeginState Edited March 28, 2019 by Ghaunadaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWanderer001 Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Thanks that works :)Simple once you know. I may have to look into states at some point but for now I'll give those a miss I don't really need them for the mod I'm working on...this timer problem is the only dialogue that is a bit more than just plain dialogue with a few stage/objective settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
