I have a portcullis with the Default2StateActivator script.
It can be activated by a pullchain and by a triggerbox.
I want to add a line to the Default2State script so that it will be activated if it is already open or if it is activated by pullchain.
If it is closed I only want the pullchain to work.
The part of the script that needs conditional added is this section (I think):

auto STATE waiting ; waiting to be activated
EVENT onActivate (objectReference triggerRef)
; Debug.Trace("d2SA RESETS: " + Self + " " + isOpen)

if ( isOpen || (activator is the pullchain) )
; switch open state when activated
SetOpen(!isOpen)
if (doOnce)
gotostate("done")
endif
endif

endEVENT
endState
How do I check to see if the activator was the pullchain and not the triggerbox?

Wouldn't your changes then effect everything that uses that script? Don't think you ought to be editing vanilla scripts especially if you're releasing the mod.

Don't do that, just click add and make a new one, you can COPY the vanilla one so you can do what you want.

Only change vanilla if you want to change all the game.

Help. I clicked add then new to add a new script to my door. Copied the working script from my edited script and pasted it into my newy named script. It didn't compile but I saved it anyway. I then reedited the default script back to it's origional state and saved. I tried to delete the origional script from my door leaving only my newly named sript but I can't remove the origional. The symbol in front of it goes from a green arrow to a red minus but it won't go away.

I thought if you changed somnething in the rendor window it only changes that instance of it and doesn't affect any other instance of it. I;ve dragged items into my cell and made changes to their size and other things and it only affected the one item I changed.

You need to do a lot of reading crossi:

The copy paste didnt work because of the first line;

Original one says (for example):

Scriptname ImTheOriginalScript extends ObjectReference

Your copy has to say:

Scriptname ImTheCOPYScript extends ObjectReference

And NOT:

Scriptname ImTheOriginalScript extends ObjectReference

You have to edit that first line.
