Can someone look through and give me an possible reason why my message box isn't coming up when i click my companion?

 

I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work, but im just a noob.

 

In the meantime I do have an equippable ring that works really well in commanding her so I can still make her do everything i need her to do . only its aggravating me as to why this script isnt working.

 

Help please :-)

I can't really think why activating it wouldn't work... Have you done any bugtesting? If you put a message at the beginning of the OnActivate block, does it play? If you put it right before the messagebox, does it play?

I have not tried that yet, been preoccupied. I wonder though if maybe wll the faction stuff set before the message box command has anything to do with it.

 

While I am thinking about it I think maybe the isactionref player == 1 might have a role to play in it....

 

just tried it with this script here...

 

scn testdummy

 

short button

 

Begin Onactivate

 

Messagebox " Can you activate me?" "yes" "no"

 

end

 

begin gamemode

set button to get button pressed

 

if button == 0

Raeinventoryref.activate player

elseif button == 1

Message" goodbye"

endif

end

 

 

worked fine ....

I think its the isactionref function will test more into that.

 

Edit:

I am stumped then, I just tried it again with changing the script to

 

"if isactionref player == 1

MessageBox "samething as above example"

elseif isactionref player == 0"

 

and it worked fine

I then changed it to

" if is actionref player == 1

messagebox "mymessage"

elseif isactionref player == 1"

 

and it still worked fine...

 

I will try to rewrite the original and sort of rearrange it and see if It plays fine after.

well, I am done with this one I am canning it, going to uninstall alot of mods and start from scratch. Create my own companion using my own scripts and my own ai packages and what not... This script here is so screwy I have no idea whats going on with it.

I got the script to work except for the spells part / On button 7 and 8 its supposed to cast the spell to retrieve its chest or its horse but it doesnt do anything. although on the ring it does.

 

I'll take what I learned from it and build my own.

You usually want to bugtest with the rest of your old script intact. Sometimes the script will be getting stalled if you have a syntax error instead of giving it a CS error.

 

Best of luck with your new project.
