Are Global Variables broken/bugged? They fail to return anything but 0.000 when fed to a messageBox. I've done .getValue/.setValue as well and still got 0.000. The last straw was when I did "float whatever = AkaviriEffect.mod(5)" and it displayed as 0.000 in the message box, despite it being directly set.

Context: This script is attached to a Magic Effect (Enchantment in this case) and is called whenever the weapon strikes another Actor.

This is the script I'm using: http://pastebin.com/f1QCjP1L

I'm having the same problem man. If that's the case, then I guess Call of Hircine is dead...

UNLESS!!!!

Maybe the script needs to have the Global Variable Extension instead of the quest extension.

I don't think that's the case. Can you even attach scripts to global variables?

If you want to attach your script to a quest, then it needs to have "Quest" as one of its ancestors.

Cipscis

ScriptName YourScript extends WhateverGlobalVariable Property SomeGlobal AutoEvent SomeEvent()	If (SomeGlobal.GetValue() == 1)		SomeGlobal.SetValue(0)	Else;If (SomeGlobal.GetValue() == 0)		SomeGlobal.SetValue(1)	EndIfEndEvent

Global Variable extends from Form, however, so it should be callable from anywhere as all scripts (in some capacity) extend from Form I thought.


That's very strange. If it works there, why wouldn't it work here? I'm doing the same thing, just inside a state by comparison?

Maybe it's because I'm trying to call it on a weapon enchantment and maybe global variable registration/modification is slower than 1/sec?

Nope, but there actually is a GlobalVariableScript extension or something like that, specifically for managing global variables, read about it in the wiki, but didn't try it yet, since RegisterForUpdate doesn't work in form scripts.

@Justin: I commented out the majority of my code and replaced it with this:


AkaviriCount.Mod(5)
messageBox(AkaviriCount.GetValue())

Why doesn't that return anything but 0? If your code is correct then mine should be messageBoxing 5,10,15,etc as I hit people. It instead only displays 0.
