Hi,

I have made a dialog and have put this script to activate a quest that's in another module.

void main() {
SetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator", 1);


}


In the other module i attached this script to a .utc heartbeat


void main() { object oEntering =
GetEnteringObject();
object oPC=GetFirstPC();
if (GetIsPC(oEntering) && !(GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator") == 1) && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40))

{
vector vPos;
float fAngle;

vPos.x = 106.24;
vPos.y = 238.01;
vPos.z = 17.15;
fAngle = 0.0;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "jedimaster", Location(vPos, fAngle));
vPos.x = 108.96;
vPos.y = 232.28;
vPos.z = 16.23;
fAngle = 0.0;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_leader", Location(vPos, fAngle));

vPos.x = 108.61;
vPos.y = 229.49;
vPos.z = 15.98;
fAngle = 0.0;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_01", Location(vPos, fAngle));
vPos.x = 111.47;
vPos.y = 231.36;
vPos.z = 15.92;
fAngle = 0.0;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_02", Location(vPos, fAngle));
vPos.x = 111.50;
vPos.y = 226.28;
vPos.z = 15.29;
fAngle = 0.0;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_03", Location(vPos, fAngle));

vPos.x = 112.68;
vPos.y = 228.28;
vPos.z = 15.44;
fAngle = 0.0;

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_04", Location(vPos, fAngle));
vPos.x = 112.71;
vPos.y = 226.93;
vPos.z = 15.19;
fAngle = 0.0;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "wookie_01", Location(vPos, fAngle));
vPos.x = 110.60;
vPos.y = 228.49;
vPos.z = 15.64;
fAngle = 0.0;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "wookie_02", Location(vPos, fAngle));

vPos.x = 111.53;
vPos.y = 229.04;
vPos.z = 15.63;
fAngle = 0.0;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "lrwooli", Location(vPos, fAngle));




SetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40, TRUE);
}

}


After i have talked thought the dialog and activated the first script i go to that module that uses the second script. But nobody spawns. I hope somebody can help me with this.

Thanks and take care

The problem must be here :

if (GetIsPC(oEntering) && !GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator") && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40))

This script will fire only if the Global number is not set (because of the !). I believe you want the opposite.

I guess you mean that the script should look like:

if (GetIsPC(oEntering) && (GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator") == 1) && (GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40)))


Well i tried this in my script and it still doesn't work.

In the other module i attached this script to a .utc heartbeat



object oEntering = GetEnteringObject();
if (GetIsPC(oEntering) && !(GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator") == 1) && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40))



The problem is most likely your use of the GetEnteringObject() function in a OnHeartbeat event script. This function will only return a valid object reference in OnEnter event scripts (for areas, triggers etc). Thus you are essentially checking if (GetIsPC(OBJECT_INVALID) ..., which never returns true. :)

Also, in your changed script above you'd need to put the negation back in front of GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40) in the if-statement since you want it to fire if it hasn't been done before; you set Local Boolean 40 when the code within the if-block has been run.

Thanks Stoffe :D

Now i only have one problem left...

When trying to compile this new script i get Error: Syntax error at &&


if (GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator") == 1) && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40)


I can't see any problem on this line at all.

I can :p

You haven't wrapped the condition parameters of the if statement within parenthesises, which is required in NWScript:


if ((GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator") == 1) && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40))

Thanks everything works now :D
