WHY am I geting this error message in the game when this ability starts up?

This ability has a condition not to run if the global is not greater than 0.

So I know for a fact it is not set to zero. (it is a float set to 2 ) because I see the message in the game.

Scriptname aadpScript extends activemagiceffectGlobalVariable Property aadpMul  AutoEvent OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)if aadpMul.Getvalue() <= 0Debug.messagebox("Error Global is Zero")endifEndEvent

You didn't forget to set the property by chance?

One possible theory is that your condition is not parsed correctly:

if aadpMul.Getvalue() <= 0

Papyrus might think the above code somewhat equivalent to the following:

if aadpMul.Getvalue()

which is true.

From my experience, the following condition not working:

If (!Target.IsInCombat() || Target.GetCombatTarget() != Caster)

But this works correctly ......... >.<

If (!Target.IsInCombat() || (Target.GetCombatTarget() != Caster))

^This.

Also depending on what you intend to do based on the globalvariable setting effect conditions might be more suitable than doing a script. If it's just about firing the effect only if the globalvariable is set to a certain value then you defenitly rethink using simple condition instead of a script.

I think he's already using such a condition. The way his script is now set up is just to check if the global variable's value is correctly retrieved in the papyrus script. In the end he'll instead use the actual value for calculations. At least, I think so

This is seriously ridiculous!

I have remade the Global and SET the GlobalVariable property several times, Tried putting parentheses around EVERYTHING and it still gives me the error.



Has anyone successfully used float globals? I do see a few in the CK (vanilla game).

I have wasted hours on this issue.

(it is set to 2 for now, but it is possible for it LATTER to be set to 2.5 or .5 or other float values. once this is working, so it has to be a float.)

Make sure the "Constant" flag isn't ticked? Unlike the fallouts, they can't be set in game =/ Other than that, not sure, but I have a float global for version detection in Bag of Holding and it works as intended.

	If (BagOfHoldingGLOB.GetValue() < 1.11)		BagOfHoldingGLOB.SetValue(1.11)	Else		...

They CANT be set in game?

OMG....

Well if that is the case this is a waste of many many hours. The only reason I was using the global was so the player could set it in the game.

So is there no way for a player to set a var in the game? such as to set damage amounts for combat features?

He said constants can't be set in game, if the constant checkbox for the global is checked

Only "Constant" globals can't be set in game. So long as that flag is not checked, SetValue(), SetValueInt(), and Mod() should all work. I do wish "Constant" globals weren't written in stone though as it was convenient to have something that always reverts to a set value each save load.

So you have actually gone to whereever you attached the script, right clicked, gone to edit properties, and set it to point to your global?

ok, I guess it was some kind of corruption in the CK file I was working on. I deleted everything concerning the global.

Saved it, rebooted my PC, then made it all again using all the same steps I did before, NOW IT WORKS....

What a wasted day of moding.

Thanks guys for trying to help, sorry I took up your time as well.
