Code: Select all
//OnOpened event of placeable
void main()
{
float fDelay = 60.0; // << Set respawn delay in seconds
if(GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "LOOTED")) return;
string sResRef;
switch (Random(4) + 1)// << 1 to 12, also change the number 12 to match the number of cases below
{
case 1: sResRef = "nw_it_mpotion001x10"; break;//<< Resref of Item 1
case 2: sResRef = "nw_it_mpotion020"; break;//<< Resref of Item 2
case 3: sResRef = "cs_it_mpotioncom"; break;//<< Resref of Item 3
case 4: sResRef = "cs_it_mpotionremcrs"; break;//<< Resref of Item 4
}
CreateItemOnObject(sResRef, OBJECT_SELF);
SetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "LOOTED", TRUE);
DelayCommand(fDelay, DeleteLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "LOOTED"));
}
One of the potions spawns inside the chest's inventory the first time, which is great. But 60 seconds later, another potion should spawn. It doesn't. Any ideas?

Hi Indio.
From the Lexicon...
Note that when initializing or setting a literal value to a float, you must include a decimal point and at least one number after the decimal, plus a lower case "f".
So
float fDelay = 60.0f;
Hope that helps,
Teric

DelayCommand doesn't play well with various functions. Try
Code: Select all
DelayCommand(fDelay, SetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "LOOTED", FALSE));
If that doesn't work, try using a wrapper function and delaying that.
If
that doesn't work, perhaps its losing track of OBJECT_SELF after the delay. Try defining it as an object and passing that into the delayed command.
Been a while

I wonder if that's the oddity with my rangefinding scripts, hmm...

Unfortunately neither approach succeeded.
Hmm.

Well what do we think about
if(GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "LOOTED")) return;
as a valid line? Does it actually mean anything?
Would you be better off assigning a value to "LOOTED" and then turning it on and off? So when value is 0 the contents spawn and when it's 1 they don't. Then change that line above to
if ((GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "LOOTED")) == 1) return;
Oh, and I've just noticed while typing that there's no space between your "if" and (GetLocal etc etc). Would that make a difference?
