[kraigor]

so you fixed it then?

what exactly does this do? spawn an npc every 1 minute or something if it died ?

Now I cant get the Timer to work again -.- I tried a few different things but still got nada. Current Script with Debug.

 

scn CMFSpawnerScript

 

ref MySpawn

ref MySpawner

float Timer

float Timer2

short FadeAway

short Respawn

short BeingRespawned

short Dead

short DoOnce

 

Begin GameMode

 

set MySpawn to GetParentRef

set MySpawner to GetSelf

 

if MySpawn.GetDead == 1 && DoOnce == 0 ; This Creature or NPC has been killed.

set Dead to 1

set DoOnce to 1

if CMFDebug == 1

Message "Dead: %.0f - DoOnce: %.0f" Dead DoOnce

endif

endif

 

IF Respawn == 0 && Dead == 1

 

if Timer < 1 ;This Creature or NPC is still dead.

set Timer to ( Timer + GetSecondsPassed )

if CMFDebug == 1

Message "Timer: %.0f" Timer

endif

endif

 

if Timer >= 5

set FadeAway to 1

if CMFDebug == 1

Message "Timer: %.0f - FadeAway: %.0f" Timer FadeAway

endif

endif

 

if Timer >= 5 && FadeAway == 1

MySpawn.disable

MySpawn.MoveTo MySpawner 0 0 +10

set Timer2 to 5

set Respawn to 1

set FadeAway to 0

if CMFDebug == 1

Message "Timer: %.0f Timer2: %.0f Respawn: %.0f FadeAway: %.0f" Timer Timer2 Respawn FadeAway

endif

endif

 

ENDIF

 

IF Respawn == 1

 

if Timer2 > 0

set Timer2 to ( Timer2 - GetSecondsPassed )

if CMFDebug == 1

Message "Timer2: %.0f" Timer2

endif

endif

 

if Timer2 < 1 && BeingRespawned == 0

set BeingRespawned to 1

if CMFDebug == 1

Message "Timer2: %.0f BeingRespawned: %.0f" Timer2 BeingRespawned

endif

endif

 

if Timer2 < 1 && BeingRespawned == 1 ;This Creature or NPC is being respawned

MySpawn.resurrect

MySpawn.enable

set Dead to 0

set DoOnce to 0

set Timer to 0

set TImer2 to 0

set BeingRespawned to 0

if CMFDebug == 1

Message "Dead: %.0f DoOnce: %.0f Timer: %.0f Timer2: %.0f BeingRespawned: %.0f" Dead DoOnce Timer Timer2 BeingRespawned

endif

endif

 

ENDIF

 

End

No not yet. Still bugging out on me. Its suppose to make the Spawned Creature / NPC spawn after 6 minutes or w/e I set the Timer to be. Its for a Mod I am working one. Such as Bosses wont spawn til after 30m etc

i c cool tell me if you get it going i liek the idea ;)

i c cool tell me if you get it going i liek the idea ;)

Will do. Currently rewriting the whole thing in a different way. MAYBE this way will make it run little more smoothly. Last one when I used a different debug redid the beginning soo many times... I actually saw the timer reach 1 >.> and thats it lol and a lot of fades going 0 1 0 1 0 1

Try using the altered script I posted on the last page as is. You keep switching around what you are setting things to, and keep changing the logic functions within the script, so naturally you will have a problem getting it to work right.

Made a new version and it works perfectly for my tests.

Heres the script:

 

scn CMFSpawnerScript2

 

; Originally Created by Darkfirebird ( CMF )

; Keep this intact, DO NOT USE WITHOUT PERMISSION!

; Although I am sure I would say yes to anyone but still.

; Description:

; This script allows a TrigZone ( Which I used or a different Activator ) to respawn

; A dead NPC or Creature it is linked to. ( ParentREF ) Timer1 is set to make the

; dead NPC / Creature 'disappear'. TimeCount1 allows the Timer1 to run properly

; without being disturbed. Same goes for Timer2 and Timecount2, but Timer2 is set

; to make the NPC resurrect and appear to respawn.

 

ref MySpawn

ref MySpawner

float Timer1

float Timer2

short TimeCount1

short TimeCount2

short DoOnce

short Respawn

 

Begin GameMode

 

set MySpawn to GetParentRef ; The Creature / NPC

set MySpawner to GetSelf ; The Spawn area, I used a TrigZone

 

if MySpawn.GetDead == 1 && DoOnce == 0 ;The Creature / NPC Died

set Timer1 to 5 ; Sets the time before the corpse disappears.

set DoOnce to 1 ; Do not repeat this step

endif

 

if Timer1 >= 5 && DoOnce == 1 ;Timer1 Set Countdown

set TimeCount1 to 1 ; Set TimeCount1 to start up the Countdown

set DoOnce to 2 ; Do not repeat this step

endif

 

if TimeCount1 == 1 && DoOnce == 2 ;Start Countdown

set Timer1 to ( Timer1 - GetSecondsPassed ) ; Timer1 Countdown

; Does not need DoOnce as it cancels the Timer1 Countdown

endif

 

if TimeCount1 == 1 && Timer1 <= 0 && DoOnce == 2 ; The Creature / NPC has now disappeared

MySpawn.disable ; Disables the NPC / Creature from sight. May need to change this up if Problems occur

MySpawn.MoveTo MySpawner 0 0 +10 ; Move the corpse to the Original Spawn area

set TimeCount1 to 0 ; No need for the Countdown anymore

set Respawn to 1 ; Set Respawn script

set DoOnce to 3 ; Do not repeat

endif

 

if Respawn == 1 && DoOnce == 3 ; Setup the Timer

set Timer2 to 5 ; Duration before the Creature or NPC respawns

set DoOnce to 4 ; Do not repeat this step

endif

 

if Timer2 >= 5 && DoOnce == 4 ; Setup the Countdown

set TimeCount2 to 1 ; Starts up the Countdown

set DoOnce to 5 ; Do not repeat this step

endif

 

if TimeCount2 == 1 && DoOnce == 5 ; Timer2 Countdown

set Timer2 to ( Timer2 - GetSecondsPassed ) ; Timer2 Countdown

; Does not need DoOnce as it cancels the Timer2 Countdown

endif

 

if TimeCount2 == 1 && Timer2 <= 0 && DoOnce == 5 ; Respawning the NPC / Creature

MySpawn.resurrect ; Revive the dead NPC / Creature

MySpawn.enable ; Enable the now alive NPC / Creature

set TimeCount2 to 0 ; No need to keep this on still

set Respawn to 0 ; Creature / NPC is now alive so reset to 0

set DoOnce to 0 ; Reset so if the Creature / NPC dies, repeats this process

endif

 

End

I tried the altered script. It worked the 1st time but not the 2nd. The above post contains the newly rewritten script. I have tested it extensively with debugs ( didnt add them here ) and so far works perfectly. Although you did try helping me with the original script. I do give great thanks for all the assistance. It helped me understand Timers A LOT better. Hence I rewrote to whats above.

[Darkfirebird]

The 1st Script didnt have all the comments seeing i removed them by accident thinking they interfered at some points. This one has my Comments so I remember what most of it does :) :thanks: to all the help i received! Really helped me with timers a lot. I'll do some more testing to see how well it does in a large scale type of thing.

If you use Leveled Creature / NPC spawns. It wont work. The below script should be placed on the NPCs / Creatures. Change timers to what you need them to be:

 

SCN CMFGeneralSpawnScript

; Keep this intact, DO NOT USE WITHOUT PERMISSION!

; Although I am sure I would say yes to anyone but still.

; Description:

; This script allows a NPC or Creature to respawn where the NPC or Creature

; it is linked to. ( ParentREF ) Timer1 is set to make the dead NPC / Creature

; 'disappear'. TimeCount1 allows the Timer1 to run properly without being

; disturbed. Same goes for Timer2 and Timecount2, but Timer2 is set to

; make the NPC resurrect and appear to respawn.

set Timer1 to ( Timer1 - GetSecondsPassed ) ; Timer1 Countdown

; Does not need DoOnce as it cancels the Timer1 Countdown

endif

 

if TimeCount1 == 1 && Timer1 <= 0 && DoOnce == 2 ; The Creature / NPC has now disappeared

set TimeCount1 to 0 ; No need for the Countdown anymore

endif

 

if Respawn == 1 && DoOnce == 3 ; Setup the Timer

set Timer2 to ( Timer2 - GetSecondsPassed ) ; Timer2 Countdown

set DoOnce to 0 ; Reset so if the Creature / NPC dies, repeats this process

endif

If theres a problem contact me :) :thumbsup:

 

EDIT: Fixxed script up a bit for GeneralSpawns. Be sure to change the timers :)
