Help adding timer code to an activator script

[Deleted2746547User]

ok so these commands need to be moved to the end of the 4 day timer.

 

No it would not be hard at all,

 

No, only the first line in that series needs to be the delayed one. One disable removes the "build anvil" - that needs to go automatically and the others refer to Mapmarkers which can change as soon as you start the process.:)

 

OK OK i get it lol you dont have to keep repeating yourself lol JK.....Post you copy of the script so i can edit it.

 

Oh no :), I just wanted to make sure you knew that only that one reference was the "build" aspect that needed to be delayed.

 

The script is still the same as you gave it to me this morning. Was just wonderging if we could tweak the Count down timer to reflect the building time ?

 

Such a wonderful script... hate to alter it! :rolleyes:

 

Remember i had you add some things to it and change some other things like gamedayspassed.

I just want to make sure we dont backtrack on a already working script so i would rather use the one you have installed.

 

How do you want to alter the timer?

 

Also if you can find multiple buildings showing different stages of it built we could put them in.

Such as

 

Day one

just the base

 

Day two

Base plus walls

 

Day three

Base, Walls Porch

 

Day four

Complete

 

OK, I will work on making different x makers and enabling different sections by it: How is

 

BlackbriarNorthRedoubtStage1Ref

BlackbriarNorthRedoubtStage2Ref

BlackbriarNorthRedoubtStage3Ref

BlackbriarNorthRedoubtStage4Ref

BlackbriarNorthRedoubtWorker1Ref <<temporary workers & "materials"

 

How is that (remember, still have that weird number problem)

There only needs to be one x marker to mark the location of the build we can use placemeat/disable/markfordelete for the temp structures.

 

Im going to go over the code BRB

Ok try this timer. The building should only appear after 4 days. The timer is at the bottom of the script

I put the timer in place at the bottom of the script to add in different buildings by date for later use as the days go by. It is empty right now but that will not affect anything.

 

I am still looking into why the material counter is off. It's weird it should be working properly.

I will download the mod and look further into it.

[CaptMitch]

I just downloaded the mod and installed, Opening in the geck now....This will make things go MUCH faster!

[CaptMitch]

OMG!!!! i just looked at the mod with FNVEdit and you mod has a copy of like ever vanilla script in game! this could cause some MAJOR comparability issues

You're speaking Greek to m my friend.. Translation? I didn't make copies of every vanilla script so, not sure how that happened.

 

I haven't had any major issues so far though and I've been trundling along off and and with this for about a year.

 

Always welcome to suggestions

[CaptMitch]

Where can i find the items in the game world so i can test?

The compatibility would be a issue with other mods that change vanilla scripts that are loaded before your mod

You can see here on the right that your mod overwrites the vanilla scripts. granted it is not changing the script BUT if another mod changes the a script and if loaded before your mod then your mod would overwrite the changes and revert it back to the vanilla script making the mod inoperative.

You need to make sure you CLEAN THE MOD

Edited November 5, 2012 by Capt Mitch

[CaptMitch]

The scripts that are white are fine as there only used by your mod. If your mod does not change the vanilla scripts then it should not be in your mod. Like i said if a mod changes a vanilla script and is loaded before your mod then your mod would overwrite it.
