[LE] Question about states

[greyday01]

When a cell resets does an item with a script that has two separate states go back to it's original state? I want an item with 2 states repaired and unrepaired and once repaired to stay that way. I know I could use enabling and disabling of identical looking items but would states work instead?

[maxarturo]

When a cell 'Resets' all scripts living in that cell will also reset to their original state.

* (scripts that are living inside of an object that is placed in that cell, not scripts that are pointing / targeting that cell or an object that is in that cell and they are not living in that cell).

In order to have a cell that can 'Reset' and also have some scripts (that live on that cell) not to reset, you need to go (from your CK's render window) into the object's property (double klick it) and 'Uncheck' the "RESOPND" flag, this way when the cell resets, all objects that have the 'Respond' flag unchecked will not reset with the cell.

* The other way around does not work.

Maybe next two scripts may help to understand.. The first is attached to an object which force a manual cell reset by his activation. The scond is a demo for your state script.

What I know about about script reset is: The properties go back to his default values made by CK or preset by script. Variables of type "Int", "Float", "String" should not been affected from reset.

It seems easier then to simply disable the original item and enable it's replacement.

[Garruski]

Check if the "NorLever01SCRIPT" script has what you're looking for, it's on the activator called NorLever01. Seems to give you the ability to define your default state

 

And then there's this topic on running something once in case you end up using that instead:

By your question it sounds like the disabling thing would be best.
