Trying to Understand the Timer function in the GECK plus quest stuff

[jet100a]

Hello all, I am very unfamiliar with the GECK and have been trying to understand how to use the timer function. To get an understanding of how it works I am trying to create a timer which rewards the player 4xp every in game day or every 1 real life hour. Heres what I have written (go easy on me, I have no idea what I am doing)

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

float timer

begin gamemode

if timer < 3600

set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed

else

;60 seconds have passed, do something special

player.rewardxp 4

set timer to 0

endif

end

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically I want this to repeat every real life hour or in game day. I was thinking it could be useful in a hoard mode mod or something else. Most of this script comes from the GECK website http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=GetSecondsPassed

I wrote this script in the quest section under its own quest id, basically its a quest stage that's supposed to repeat forever but I could make it an actual script effect but I have even less experience with that. I tried forcing the quest using console commands in game but I think I wrote the script wrong and its in the wrong place. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

EDIT:

So I tried making it a script but I can't seem to get it to compile

It won't compile because it is "RewardXP 4", not "player.RewardXP 4". It only works on the player.

 

The rest should work in a quest script. You need to create a new script, set it as a quest type, and give it a name:

scn MyQuestScript  <- Usually the name of your quest + "Script" at the end
 
float timer

begin gamemode
   if timer < 3600
      set timer to timer + GetSecondsPassed
   else
      ;60 seconds have passed, do something special
      rewardxp 4
      set timer to 0
   endif
end

Thank you so much! I got it to work thanks to your help! I really had no idea what I was doing lol.
