Access variable from a script outside?

[zelxi]

Is it possible to access from outside, a variable in a script?
I have script attached to a NPC, in that script I have a variable checking if the NPC is dead. I'm trying to access that variable from another script which is attached to a quest.

 

Quest script:
if (NPC == dead) <---- anyway to fetch the NPC from NPC script?

do ---

 

NPC script:
onDeath

NPC = dead

 

 

Sort of, either that or is there a way to terminate a script within a script? Except from markfordelete, I just want the NPC to still be around but not running the script which is attached.. possible?

I believe you can do it like this

 

Set npcscript.Variable to blah blah

 

Or

 

If npcscript.variable != whatever

Thanks for reply, I decided to rewrite my code. I'll definitely try that next time.

What you do is you have a variable in your quest that tracks if that NPC is dead, and the script on the NPC sets the quest variable when the OnDeath block runs.

 

NPC script:

BEGIN OnDeath
set QuestVar.NPCDead to 1
END
