Hi. I'm using some script that calls SetPCSleepHours so that some time passes. The player is not in control of anything at this time.

The problem is not really a problem as such, just a matter of aesthetics - The player and another NPC are moved to another location a short distance away, and the SetPCSleepHours is called at 1,2 or 4 hours, depending on various circumstances. Everything works just fine, however the NPC and the surroundings are visible throughout the whole thing, which is not very nice, and Id rather a blank screen.

It is possible to set the screen to be blank, then perform the move etc, and then show the screen once more, this time with the player and the NPC in the new location?

Your options:
. Write a fullscreen shader to do the job and use OBGEv2 to apply it in game.
. Move the player to a remote cell with no ambient lighting - That should result in a completely dark room. Then call setPCSleepHours and move them back.

Thanks shadeMe. I'm not even sure what 'OBGEv2' is, so I guess I'm not using it! ^_^

Anyway, the move to another cell hadn't occurred to me, so Ill give that a go and see how things work out.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work.

If I move the player to a cell with no light, it certainly blanks the screen, but that's all it does! The player is then stuck in that location and the rest of the script does not seem to run.

I have

MessageBox "A brief description of whats gone one"Player.RemoveItem Gold001 16SetPCSleepHours 1NPCPodTrader.MoveTo PodTradedMarker01Player.MoveTo PCPodTradedMarker01

If I place the move to the dark cell before the sleep call that's the end, and nothing else happens after the cell loading screen, and if I place it afterward there is little point in placing it at all.

I tried moving the temporary dark marker to the same cell (an interior) as the player, although 'outside' the interior if you get what I mean, and while the was no freezing of the script, the move was over so quickly that it wasn't actually worth it.

Any other alternatives?

A player.moveTo XXX call will act as a return statement. You'll need to add a catch for that and do your work in the subsequent frame.

Um.. thanks. Er, what does that mean exactly? The script is running as the result script of a choice topic. Is there a way to call another script from within that results box?

cheers
