Spawning Script Problem

[GilgameshNoborosuke]

Like the title say, here's the script I'm using.

 

scn WZInvanpahNCRSpawnScript

int bInitInvanpah
int bSpawnInvanpah
float TimerInvanpah
ref rInvanpahNCR01
ref rInvanpahNCR02
ref rInvanpahNCR03
ref rInvanpahNCR04
ref rInvanpahNCR05
ref rInvanpahNCR06
ref rInvanpahNCR07
ref rInvanpahNCR08
ref rInvanpahNCR09
ref rInvanpahNCR10
ref rInvanpahNCR11
ref rInvanpahNCR12

Begin OnLoad
       if (bInitInvanpah == 0)
               set bInitInvanpah to 1
		showmessage NCRInvanpahLakeWZMessage
       endif
End

Begin GameMode
       if (bInitInvanpah == 1)
               set rInvanpahNCR01 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn001.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
               set rInvanpahNCR07 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn001.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
               set rInvanpahNCR02 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn002.PlaceAtMe WZNCRPowerArmor 1
               set rInvanpahNCR08 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn002.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
               set rInvanpahNCR03 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn003.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR09 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn003.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR04 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn004.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR10 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn004.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR05 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn005.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR06 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn006.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1

       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR01.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR01 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn001.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR02.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR02 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn002.PlaceAtMe WZNCRPowerArmor 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR03.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR03 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn003.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR04.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR04 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn004.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR05.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR05 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn005.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR06.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR06 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn006.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR07.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR07 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn001.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR08.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR08 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn002.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR09.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR09 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn003.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
              endif
       else
		if  (rInvanpahNCR10.GetDead)
               set rInvanpahNCR10 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn004.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
              endif

       endif
End

 

Can anyone help me? The trigger keep spawning my custom NCR and crashed the game in say around 15 seconds.

Switch bInitIvanapah back to zero after your initial spawn group, i.e.

 

Begin GameMode
       if (bInitInvanpah == 1)
               set rInvanpahNCR01 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn001.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
               set rInvanpahNCR07 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn001.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
               set rInvanpahNCR02 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn002.PlaceAtMe WZNCRPowerArmor 1
               set rInvanpahNCR08 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn002.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
               set rInvanpahNCR03 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn003.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR09 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn003.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR04 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn004.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR10 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn004.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR05 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn005.PlaceAtMe WZNCRTrooper 1
               set rInvanpahNCR06 to InvanpahDryLakeNCRSpawn006.PlaceAtMe WZNCRMarine 1
               set bInitInvanpah to 0
       else
       ...etc

 

Without flipping that switch back off, every frame the script is spawning ten more actors, and...

[GilgameshNoborosuke]

Damn, didn't see that. :wallbash: the slightest little mistake could destroy even the strongest walls.

Thanks didn't see that tiny hole.

That's okay, I spent two hours this morning tracking down a script bug where instead of:

 

Set fDelay to fDelay + GetSecondsPassed

 

I had written:

 

Set fDelay to fDelay

 

...and then I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

[GilgameshNoborosuke]

Is there any good example of the "GetTimeDead" that I could get?

Didn't quiet get with this Geck GetTimeDead.

 

Thanks for the early supports.

[GilgameshNoborosuke]

Here's the script I used:

scn WZonesNPCScript

ref MySelf

Begin GameMode

	if (MySelf.GetDead == 0)
		return 
			elseif (MySelf.GetTimeDead == 1)
				disable
				markfordelete
				showmessage WZCleaningMessage
	endif

End 

[Xaranth]

should work, but you need to assign MySelf, thus:

 

Also change the comparison operator to >=, because the chance of the script firing exactly one hour after death is miniscule.

 

scn WZonesNPCScript

ref MySelf

Begin GameMode

	Set MySelf to GetSelf
	if (MySelf.GetDead == 0)
		return 
	elseif (MySelf.GetTimeDead >= 1)
		disable
		markfordelete
		showmessage WZCleaningMessage
	endif

End

Thanks, I'll try it. :thumbsup:

 

Aside my script is there any easier or simpler script to clean dead bodies?

I'm trying not to use any NVSE, if there are any. Please let me know. :biggrin:

You know, I was wondering the same thing when I was doing a long-term playtest of V 0.6 of my own mod. Then one day I walked into the area where the bodies I wanted to clean were, and said bodies were gone.

 

I think the game cleans corpses on the same schedule as resetting plants, etc.

 

But I don't promise that.

[GilgameshNoborosuke]

Okay, the script didn't work and somehow it work randomly and very rare like 0.1% of the whole tests. :wacko:

 

The Scripts was meant for my never ending battlefield (For personal use only, until somebody requested it.) I've used many scripts from many mods that spawn NPCs & Creatures like the WARZONES - now with ADJUSTABLE SPAWNS by MyGoodEye, and many others.

 

I've tried to let the game cleans up the bodies it self and pretty much good, bit too long though... :tongue:

 

Currently my PC broke down :wallbash: and I'm using my Sister's laptop to test any possible script to clean the dead bodies after an hour or two.

 

So, expect me to reply a little bit late because I don't have all the time with the Laptop :tongue: .
