Script Help

[renogaz]

So basically my script its the next one

 

Scriptname xxxxx extends ObjectReference

{script xxxxxx}

 

float days

float days1

int count

 

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)

count = count+1

if count ==1

Debug.MessageBox("You found a xxxxxx")

else

Debug.MessageBox("You pick up xxxxx")

endif

days = Utility.GetCurrentGameTime()

Debug.MessageBox("xxxxx" + days)

RegisterForSingleUpdate(5)

 

endEvent

 

Event OnUpdate()

days1 = Utility.GetCurrentGameTime()

if days1 >= days + 3.000000

Debug.MessageBox("xxxxx")

UnregisterForUpdate()

else

RegisterForSingleUpdate(5)

endif

 

endEvent

 

 

What i want to do is when i pickup the x object, the days1 variable keeps running and the days variable stay static on the gametime when i picked it up, and after 3 ingame days display a message,

my problem is that when i get to 3 or more days after pickup i keep recieving the message, is there a way to make it so after days1 >= days + 3.000000 the Event OnUpdate stops?

	If !bActivated
		RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTimeUpdate(72)	; update in 72 hours (3 days)
		bActivated = True
	EndIf

i tried the script but it wont work, nothing shows up after 72 hrs, also the object is a MISC pickable object, not an activator or something like that, that has someething to do with that?

Ug, I could swear I fixed that typo earlier... it should be:

 

RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime(72)

 

not

 

RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTimeUpdate(72)

 

oops :facepalm:

You need to register for updates inside of a function...

 

taking steve40's example and adjusting it

 

Scriptname xxxxx extends ObjectReference
{script xxxxxx}

int count
bool bActivated = False

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
       count += 1
       if count == 1
               Debug.MessageBox("You found a xxxxxx")
       else
               Debug.MessageBox("You pick up xxxxx")
               If !bActivated
                       DoMyUpdate()
               EndIf
       endif
endEvent

Function DoMyUpdate()
       RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime(72)       ; update in 72 hours (3 days)
       bActivated = True
EndFunction

Event OnUpdateGameTime()
       Debug.MessageBox("xxxxx")
       bActivated = False
endEvent

Thanks for reply, but its not working yet :/, what im doing its a pickable object, and i want to show the box after beign 3 days in my pocket, but it wont work yet, i dont know why, when i drrop the object and use "showvars" it tells me that bActivated its true, but after 3 days i dont get any message :/

Have you tried testing with a save that hasn't seen the object or script in question? Sometimes saves don't like to do new things with old objects

Yes it dosnt want to work either, same as before, bActive its true but i dont get any message :/

[IsharaMeradin]

without actually trying for myself, perhaps you need to use a global variable rather than a local variable in conjunction with updates?
