PositionCell Scripting Problem

[shademonster2003]

Hey guys,

 

I'm new to scripting, and I've started a pretty massive mod. I read a lot of documentation on scripts, and I was doing fairly well. But, I've hit a snag.

 

My problem: I have an NPC set up to disable, change location, and then enable. All of this over a 3-day time period. It's a global script triggered by a dialogue result and is self-terminating.

 

This is what happens: The NPC (located in an exterior Seyda Neen cell) adheres to the timer and disables after 40 seconds. At that point, the NPC SHOULD transport to the new location (the tavern in Pelagiad). Three days later (using a day counter script), the NPC SHOULD enable in the new location and the script terminates. However, if the player is in the same cell (the tavern), the NPC will not enable. Can anyone tell me why this happens and/or how to fix it? Thanx in advance, guys.

Try disabling, and then enabling *just* before you use postioncell. I doubt the player will notice the difference.

Ok. I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. I'm copying the script in here for perusal. Let me know if I've screwed something up or if anyone has a suggestion.

 

begin GCVC_pelagiadtrans

 

short dayspassed

short today

short state

float timer

short timerstart

 

set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )

 

if ( timer > 20 )

set timerstart to 1

set timer to 0

endif

 

if ( today != Day )

set today to Day

set dayspassed to ( dayspassed + 1 )

endif

 

if ( timerstart == 1 )

disable GCVC_Aerana_Burador

endif

 

if ( dayspassed >= 3 )

enable GCVC_Aerana_Burador

GCVC_Aerana_Burador -> PositionCell, 228, -96, 257, 90, "Pelagiad, Halfway Tavern"

set state to 1

endif

 

if ( state == 1 )

stopscript GCVC_pelagiadtrans

endif

 

end
