[LE] Help for a scripting newbie

[Cryptdick]

Hey fellow modders, I'm attempting to set up the following:

Player enters room, takes item off of pedestal trap -> Spikes close off doorway (activated by pedestal) behind player and ambushing actor activates -> Ambushing Actor is killed -> Activates TrapLinker -> Opens spike traps blocking doorway

So from what I've got, I have an ambushing Wispmother that is activated by a pedestal trap and the spikes block the doorway behind the player, that's working fine. But, since I'm using the defaultActivateLinkedRefOnceOnDeath script that will activate a trapLinker, I can't set up a second linked ref to the TrapLinker that opens the "spike door" on their death since it replaces the Linked Ref to the ambush furniture.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

- If you want the "TrapLinker" to activate the "spike traps" put on the "TrapLinker" a "defaultActivateActivateLinkedRefOnce".

- If you want the "Ambushing Actor is killed" to activate "TrapLinker" and "spike traps", then you will Link the ACTOR to an xMarker Activator with a Trap Lever script, then Link the xMarker activator (Activate Parent) to the "TrapLinker" and the "spike traps".

Scriptname aXMD_OpenRefActivateRefonActorsDEATH01 extends ObjectReference  
{Opens 2 doors and Activates 2 Ref uppon Actors death}
 
 
 
ObjectReference Property Door01 Auto
{Opens Door Ref}
 
ObjectReference Property Door02 Auto
{Opens Door Ref}
 
ObjectReference Property xActivator01 auto
{Activates xMarker Activator or lever or trap}
 
ObjectReference Property xActivator02 auto
{Activates xMarker Activator or lever or trap}
 
 
 
Auto State PreActivation
Event OnDeath(Actor killer)
                           Door01.SetOpen()
                           xActivator01.Activate(self)
                           Utility.Wait(3.0)
                           Door02.SetOpen()
                           Utility.Wait(3.0)
                           xActivator02.Activate(self)
gotoState("PostActivation")
EndEvent
EndState
 
STATE PostActivation
;Do nothing
EndState

 

You can set the time between activations by tweaking the "Utility.Wait(3.0)" 2.0 - 1.0 - 0.0 or what ever time you want.

Or remove the "Utility.Wait(3.0)" from the Script then everything will open and get activated uppon Actors death.
