(trying to create) Quest with a time limit

[Surjamte]

So I saw this example script that could be used to make a timed quest and decided to try and make one.

 

The story is pretty simple. An npc has been poisoned and you need to find a cure within a certain amount of time. Otherwise (s)he'll die.

 

The script compiled nice and well, but whenever I fast travel and/or in-game the game crashes. So something is obviously wrong, but I have no idea what, because I suck at scripting.

 

Scriptname ASURG02TimedQuest extends Quest  

GlobalVariable Property GlobalDays auto ;initial days to complete
GlobalVariable Property GlobalTime auto ;counter for hours left
Quest Property TimedQuest auto ;the quest (I used two scripts on same quest while cause I modified a vanilla one)
int Property FailObjective auto ;objective that will fail when hours left reaches 0, it is the one to display the time left and will be refreshed
int Property FailStage auto ;stage to set the quest to, fail whole quest from it's fragment or whatever
 
Float endTime
 
Event OnInit()
	if (GlobalTime.GetValue()>0)
		;Debug.Notification("Starting countdown")
		GlobalTime.SetValue(GlobalDays.GetValue()*24)
		endTime = Utility.GetCurrentGameTime()+GlobalDays.GetValue()
		TimedQuest.UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal(GlobalTime)
		RegisterForUpdateGameTime(0.10)
	EndIf
EndEvent
 
Event OnUpdateGameTime()
	if (!TimedQuest.IsRunning())
		UnregisterForUpdateGameTime()
	EndIf
	float step = Math.Ceiling((endTime - Utility.GetCurrentGameTime())*24) - GlobalTime.GetValue()
	if (step != 0)
		if (0-step > GlobalTime.GetValue()) ;avoid displaying less then 0
			step = 0 - GlobalTime.GetValue()
		EndIf
		if TimedQuest.ModObjectiveGlobal(step, GlobalTime, FailObjective, 0, false, false)
			GlobalTime.SetValue(0)
			TimedQuest.UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal(GlobalTime)
			TimedQuest.SetStage(FailStage)
			UnregisterForUpdateGameTime()
		EndIf
	EndIf
EndEvent

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I really want this to work. So plz help me find out what's wrong. If you want to share any better way/script to create a timed quest that would work too. :smile:

Based off the plot of the story your doing, I'm assuming you already watched the YouTube tutorial on how to do this in the CK?

[Surjamte]

Nope. I didn't know there was one :P

 

I don't really like video tutorials. Prefer reading. But I could give it a try, do you have a link?

[mellophonist]

Sure do, the guy that does this series of CK tutorials is really thorough, I learned alot from the CK following his channel.

 

[Surjamte]

Okay, that was pretty awesome. I've changed my mind about youtubube tutorials :)

 

Thanks for the link. It helped alot.
