Brokem Scripts

[Zini]

Yes, I figured that much. The question is what MW does with this broken script.

Well, MW seems to ignore that part and continue executing the script. I've tested this in-game with my own script.

[Zini]

Okay. Thanks. That has been taken care of.

I m starting to wonder how Morrowind.esm can work at all.

Funny, I always was amazed about that - it's seems to be held together with duck tape and bubblegum where bugs have become features...

Great job tackling this mess! Thank you!

Code: Select all

else set MatchMakeGoval to 8

The script language generally does not allow multiple instructions in the same line.

Code: Select all

Short test

If ( OnActivate == 1 )
	set test to 1
	if ( test == 2 )
		set test to 3
	else set test to 4
		MessageBox "first %G", test
	endif

	MessageBox "second %G", test
endif

This little piece of code attached to a book outputs first 1 and second 1.

[Zini]

Okay. Workaround is in place.

A particularly bad one: sotha_alma

Please someone tell me that this isn't working in MW either. Because right now I don't know how to make that compile without breaking other stuff.

[MiroslavR]

What's wrong with sotha_alma? The script compiles without errors, is definitely used in the game at the end of Tribunal's main quest line, and seems to work just fine.

This line:

Code: Select all

else ( state == 100 )

?
