SKSE Script Function Question : V

» Tue Jan 29, 2013 5:16 am

Hi there

I have been trying to create a script that initiates after the play presses a key. To do this I was forced to script like a child having a RegisterForUpdate loop to detect this (see code below).

Spoiler

Event OnInit()
Debug.Notification("Initialised")
RegisterForKey(13)
RegisterForUpdate(2)
EndEvent
Event OnUpdate()
if Input.IsKeyPressed(13)
Possession()
else
debug.notification("sorry")
endif
EndEvent

I did research and came across the SKSE functions called RegisterForKey and OnKeyDown. Reading the wiki's on them I tried out a demo code as shown below

Spoiler

Event OnInit()
RegisterForKey(12)
Debug.MessageBox("Step1")
EndEvent

Event OnKeyDown(int Keycode)
if Keycode == 12
Debug.MessageBox("Working")
endif
EndEvent

Unfortunately there is no evidence of it working and I have tried numerous alterations to the code which has left me wondering whether the OnKeyDown function can be used as an Event. Have I missed something? :confused:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The events won't work in a ReferenceAlias script. They have to run on something that can be reduced to a Form type. I put mine in a quest script and it worked fine.

Oh wow I will try that now if that is true then you have rescued me from hours of confusion. I have never quite understood how/why the scipt type restricts the function use. One concern I have is that the mod I am making is to allow you to take control of a NPC and uses some of the ReferenceAlias functions how can I work around this? is there a way to reference or call on other scripts?
