Hey,

it is about a half your age when i last modded somthing, (and i know i'm not good at it) but i wanted to mod somthing again and i ran into an annoying problem.
I want to make a script that asks the player what his favourite school is, the messagebox appears, and everything works fine, but when i click one of the buttons the menu closes(as it should be)... , but then it comes back .
I think my problem is somewhere whit the

set button to GetButtonPressed

part.

Can anyone check my script and see what is wrong whit it, cuz i think i have a fun idea :celebration:

Here is my script:

ScriptName 3plusWOTWQuestSCRIPTShort choosingShort button Begin GameMode	Set choosing to -1	Setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 10End Begin GameMode If ( choosing == -1 )	if (GetStage 3plusWOWTQuest == 10)		MessageBox "What is your favourite magic school?", "Alchemy", "Alteration", "Conjuration", "Destruction", "Illusion", "Mysticism", "Restoration" 		Set choosing to 1		set button to GetButtonPressed	EndifElseIf (Choosing == 1) 		If ( button == 0 );Alchemy			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 1			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 1);alteration			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 2			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 2 );Conjuration			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 3			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 3 );Destruction			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 4 			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 4 );Illlusion			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 5			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 5 );Mystticism			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 6 			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 6 );Restoration			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 7			Set choosing to 2		Endif	EndIf EndIf End

Thanks for looking

Begin GameMode	Set choosing to -1	Setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 10

There's nothing here that is preventing this from running over and over again, so choosing is repeatedly set to -1.

Also, I don't know if it's a good idea to have 2 separate gamemodes running. I don't see the point anyway. Might as well merge them.

How's this:

scn YourScriptNameshort DoOnceshort ChoosingBegin GameMode If DoOnce == 0	Set choosing to -1	Setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 10        Set DoOnce to 1endifIf ( choosing == -1 )	if (GetStage 3plusWOWTQuest == 10)		MessageBox "What is your favourite magic school?", "Alchemy", "Alteration", "Conjuration", "Destruction", "Illusion", "Mysticism", "Restoration" 		Set choosing to 1		set button to GetButtonPressed	EndifElseIf (Choosing == 1) 		If ( button == 0 );Alchemy			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 1			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 1);alteration			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 2			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 2 );Conjuration			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 3			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 3 );Destruction			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 4 			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 4 );Illlusion			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 5			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 5 );Mystticism			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 6 			Set choosing to 2		ElseIf ( button == 6 );Restoration			setstage 3plusWOWTQuest 7			Set choosing to 2		Endif	EndIf EndIf End

I haven't checked the rest of the script closely but this should fix the problem with the loop.

thanks, i go to try it out i let you know somthing

The loop is fixed, thank you!

Now when i press the buttons the queststage doesn't change... As i have already said i htink there is somthing worng whit

set button to GetButtonPressed

because nothing happens when i press the buttons

Anyone knows what i'm doing wrong ?

Try removing the "set button" thing, and use this instead:

and my version :Added a menuMode just in case
CHANGE the name of the quest - NO numbers in the beginning !!!!!!
pov's script was not working cause it only checked once (and early) the buttonpressed - methinks

Another flaw I found: You can't go backwards in Quest Stages. The menu is set to execute when the player is at stage 10, but the buttons try to set the stage from to 1-7.

I am not too sure - getStage has this limitation (returns highest stage completed) - setStage should work :shrug:

I made it work i think. But today i don' thave much time left to test it. I hope it will work, but maybe when i find the time i can test more today, else it is in a few days but thanks for the help, and when i don't wark i just ask again! thank you all!

I'm back

Well, only alchemy works... I will put the current script here, i think i took care of everything u guys said



Thanks for helping

getbuttonpressed returns != -1 only the first time it is called - that's why only alchemy works
use my version -button var very nice & debug friendly- and change the name of the script to not have a number or I will send a Nazgul

It finally works, thank you so much. When i release this mod, i make sure i put you in the credits, it is the least i can do!(however i'm just a noobie modder ) Thank you, now i can go further whit the rest
