MoveTo in a menu script Crash

I'm working on a house mod right now for my character Raine and this is the creature arena in it. When I go through the menus to the Supreme lich choice, I should move to the arena location. It then freezes when that line is called. I remember reading about some moveto bug in message box scripts but I have searched and can't find anything mentioning it. Anyone know how to fix this?

                set working to 0

You need to move the part where you set working to 0 above the MoveToMarker call. MoveTo and MoveToMarker act as a return when called on the player and no further lines of the script are processed for that frame. So your variable is not being reset properly.

Player is a 'return' when used on the player. So the variable 'working' is never set to 0. Might cause a problem although a CTD is usually not one of them.

This does nothing:

  If Working 

    Set Working to 1[/code]

If working == 1 then set working to 1. Does nothing.



I could not follow the script easily since it was coded rather oddly. So I did not verify the rest of the script.

Ah okay thanks that makes sense. The only reason that bit of code is there is because I copied it off of the template on wiki. I thought it was weird too but I didn't wanna touch it just in case.

EDIT:

I'm getting some more problems with this. The script now teleports me and the enemy to the same marker location. Is there any way I can prevent this? I think I understand why this is happening (Moveto for the lich is going to one location but then it doubles up with mine since it takes so long to move something and thus takes my player's move location instead so we end up in the same spot.

	Elseif (Choosing == -43)

	Elseif (Choosing == -44)

	Elseif (Choosing == -45)


	endif

end

So basically I set working to 0, enable the walls of the arena, move the boss enemy to the arena from a separate cell and then move the player to that area. However when i do this it moves both of us to the same point.

Hmmm looks like it should be working fine. You can get odd misplacements if your cell isn't pathed, or has old pathing that doesn't match your current layout. Have you pathed your arena yet? If not, for testing purposes just place a path node on your aaaRainesArenaCreaturePoint1 marker, and see if the Litch shows up where he's supposed to.

Not sure if anyone is going to see this but is there a reason my enemy called "Sniper" would want to do this in their birthday suit? Every time before that I moved them to the starting location they would have no clothes on, not equip their weapons and unless I hard coded it into them to equip their stuff, they wouldn't. Ever. Any ideas why for the future?

Are you placing armor/weapons directly into his inventory, or using Leveled Lists? If the latter post which lists you're using, you might be running into trouble there if testing with a low level character.

Nope. Dark Brotherhood armor, a special bow (Slow speed) and special arrows (Fast speed). That's it.

They will not equip weapons if its not in their combat profile. Also, if you created these new objects wrong, that would do it too. (wrong slots for armor for example, a tail slot is NEVER equipped.)

If you are scripting the equipment to the NPC after it exists, that can also be a problem sometimes.

Have you verified that the NPC actually has the equipment in their inventory?

They definitely have it in their inventory and the "Custom" weapons are simply modified Elven Bows renamed. Even when the combat starts, they would have just punched me.
