<OnInstall>

[LordSutekh]

<OnInstall> doesn't seem to get called when AutoInstalling. Possible bug?

Edit: Or not. I'm getting some weirdness here between the intAutoInstall script and <OnInstall>

[LordSutekh]

Code: Select all

<Invoke>
	(block Nil
		(intAutoInstall gSource gItem)
		(shpRechargeShield gSource 125)
</Invoke>

WORKS

Code: Select all

<OnInstall>
	(shpRechargeShield gSource 125)
</OnInstall>

DOESN'T WORK

Code: Select all

<OnInstall>
	(block Nil
		(shpRechargeShield gSource 125)
		(objSendMessage gSource Nil "I am an event that doesn't like to work")
		)
</OnInstall>

It will display the message, but won't recharge the shield.

Are you trying to auto-install the shield and then recharge it inside of OnInstall?

I can imagine that it would fail, probably because OnInstall doesn't expect the item to be modified that way. Please write up a ticket and I'll see if I can fix it.

[LordSutekh]

Even if I take out the auto-install, and just try to recharge it through OnInstall installing it at a station, it doesn't seem to work. It will display any message I care to script, it just won't recharge the shield. I also found an instance where trying to auto-install a damaged shield crashes the game.

As stated by george, OnInstall is called after the item is installed but before any bonuses and enhancements are computed. (so that you can apply enhancements)

LordSutekh, did you try to simply fire an event with, let's say, 5 ticks delay and recharge the shield in the fired event ?
That should work.

[LordSutekh]

Hmmm, that's an idea I hadn't thought of. I'll have to try that out. But my point is that <OnInstall> doesn't act as one would logically expect it to.

Agreed. If someone will write a ticket I can address it.

Ah. Hint taken. If someone could please activate my account I'll get right on it.
