Scripting problems with GetSelf

[Bromm83]

Can anyone help me with this?

 

scn 00SexoutDiscountQuestScript

ref self

Begin GameMode

set self to GetSelf

if self.GetItemCount SexoutDiscountToken
	self.startconversation player, AfterDiscount
endif
End

 

It's a questscript that should start a conversation after sex.

If I remove the "set self to GetSelf" part it accepts the script, but then the script is useless...

 

Anyone got any bright ideas?

 

EDIT: It's for Fallout New Vegas btw.

If it's a questscript, GetSelf would refer to the quest it is attached to, which I think isn't even a valid reference. You'll instead want to get the id of the NPC that should start the conversation. Possibly use a conversation result or some other script to : Set [Questname].NPCref to GetSelf and then replace self.startconversation with NPCref.startconversation.

Spot on.

As an aside, iirc the quest is a valid ref, but the quest script is not. So to set the variables in the quest script you do:-

set questname.var to 1

not

set questscriptname.var to 1

If it's a questscript' date=' GetSelf would refer to the quest it is attached to, which I think isn't even a valid reference. You'll instead want to get the id of the NPC that should start the conversation. Possibly use a conversation result or some other script to : Set [Questname'].NPCref to GetSelf and then replace self.startconversation with NPCref.startconversation.

 

You, my friend, are a genious!

Now the script works as intended!
