Multiple Activators and a Main Script

[DsoS]

If I have X activators (For ease, we'll say 4 for this script) (buttons, valves, etc.) that I want to use to activate a script that is on another object (probably just a static cave rock), how do I setup the activators and the main script to work together?

 

Would I need a script for each activator, global variable or what?

The script what Event function would I use to do this? Would it still be a OnActivate event?

 

I have not created a script where I have used multiple activators to do what I want to do.

 

If any other information is required, just let me know.

 

EDIT:

Forgot to mention, that ALL X activators will be required to be activated before the script is finished.

 

Thanks,

DSoS

I just use a main script attachted to an x-marker. That water level I made that you saw, requires two valves to be opened first. Example script:

 

 

Scriptname WMWaterlv extends ObjectReference
{Script to determine if both valves are closed or open and do stuff}


ObjectReference Property Valve1 Auto
ObjectReference Property Valve2 Auto
ObjectReference Property ThingToEffect Auto



int Value1
int Value2
int ThingHappened
;Names values for state of valves later

Event OnCellLoad()
Value1 = 0
Value2 = 0
ThingHappened = 1
EndEvent

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
If akActionRef == Valve1
If Value1 == 1
Value1 = 0
ThingHappened.Whatever()

Elseif Value1 == 0
Value1 = 1
ThingHappened.Whatever()
EndIf

Endif

If akActionRef == Valve2
If Value2 == 1
Value2 = 0
ThingHappened.Whatever()

Elseif Value2 == 0
Value2 = 1
ThingHappened.Whatever()
EndIf

Endif

If Value1 == 1
If Value2 == 1
Place stuff to happen when all levers are pushed

Endif

Elseif Value1 == 0
If Value2 == 0
Put stuff to happen when all levers are not pushed
Endif
Endif
EndEvent

 

can easily be expanded to include alternate states, more levers, sound effects and multiple outcomes. And yes there is most likely a shorter way but I dont know it

You know...

 

I feel really, really stupid looking at your script

 

I think I need to get some good sleep.

 

I have done this before, a bit different. Just have to find that script now amongst several dozen other scripts of mine.

 

Thank You Walrus. It is a starting point!
