Gas Traps

[JulianSull]

I can't get these things to work for the life of me. I'm using the ARGasTrapGrate01 and this is the script that I used for it:

scn aaaBossFightHunterGasTrapScript


; spurt gas on activation


float timer

short next

short activated

ref mySelf

ref myParent


float fTrapDamage

float fTrapPushBack

float fTrapMinVelocity

float fLevelledDamage

short bTrapContinuous


begin onActivate



		set myParent to getParentRef

		set mySelf to getSelf

		set activated to 1





		; set up the damage values

		set fTrapDamage to (Player.GetActorValue Health) / 15

		set fLevelledDamage to 0

		set fTrapPushBack to 0

		set fTrapMinVelocity to 0

		set bTrapContinuous to 1


		set timer to 24

		set next to 1


		playgroup forward 1



end


begin gameMode


	;daisy-chain

	if next == 1 && timer <= 23

		set mySelf to getSelf

		set myParent to getParentRef

		myParent.activate mySelf 1

		set next to 0

	endif


	;reset for next time

	if timer <= 0 && activated == 1

		set fTrapDamage to 0

		set activated to 0

	endif


	set timer to timer - getSecondsPassed


end

I definitely activate them and they are definitely enabled. What am I missing? That above script is almost identical to the original oblivion script for this trap.

How do you know they are being activated?

And what do you mean by 'they do not work', what do you expect to happen?

[JulianSull]

I have a push button that activates them:

scn aaaBossFightHunterGasRoomScript


begin OnActivate Player


	aaaBossFightHunterRoom4ActivationX.Enable

	aaaBossFightHunterGasTrap1REF.Activate

	aaaBossFightHunterGasTrap2REF.Activate

	aaaBossFightHunterGasTrap3REF.Activate

	aaaBossFightHunterGasTrap4REF.Activate

	TriggerHitShader 10

	Disable


end

The gas traps are not doing any damage and there's no indication of it working.

[WillieSea]

Then they are 'not' being activated.

Try putting a '1' after each activate block and see if that helps.

Is your TriggerHitShader working?

[JulianSull]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE.

Thank you. I feel dumb.

TriggerHitShader was working.
