Dialogue - Result Script : IV

» Mon Aug 24, 2009 1:30 am

I have the follwoing code in the Result Script box for a certain piece of dialogue.

		short m				; declare an integer					set m to (VariableScript.Wage/4); set m to Wage and divide it by 4									player.additem Gold001 m	; add the <Wage> amount of gold to the player							set VariableScript.Wage to 0	; reset the Wage variable to zero

This code works as expected when placed in a Quest Script, which uses Begin MenuMode or Begin GameMode. I would use this only there is a significant delay in waiting for the Wage to be paid (up to 5 seconds).

I would prefer the Resulting Script box to actually carry out the calculation and add the gold at the end of the dialogue. I know that it's possible to run a resulting script, but what am I doing wrong here?

Not sure on this one, try and place it last. not first. You could try to make the last line give you the GOLD001

I'm not sure, but I think the problem is "short m", i.e. the declaration. Try changing your script to:

	set VariableScript.Wage to (VariableScript.Wage/4);divide Wage by 4									player.additem Gold001 VariableScript.Wage; add the <Wage> amount of gold to the player							set VariableScript.Wage to 0; reset the Wage variable to zero

For the record, here's my barterBuy/barterSell result script which works well:

set tnoEEM.merchant_gold to tnoEEM.merchant_gold + tnoEE.gaCurrentGold - player.GetItemCount Gold001SetBarterGold tnoEEM.merchant_goldset tnoEEM.barter_update to 1

The following code worked:

set VariableScript.Wage to (VariableScript.Wage*0.25)player.additem Gold001 VariableScript.Wageset VariableScript.Wage to 0

Good call NiceOne.

This may be redundant at this point, but I wanted to clarify that the reason it didn't work is that you're allowed to declare variables in a resultscript.

You mean you are NOT allowed to declare variables in result scripts?
