Deus Ex Alpha

Hey guys,

Nice and simple problem today. We have the function in DeusExPlayer:
exec function GoalAdd( Name goalName, String goalText, optional bool bPrimaryGoal ).

When I put in something like Player.GoalAdd('KitchenGoal', "Get me a sandwich", True); there is an error that says bad or missing parameter 1.

I tried something different:

Code: Select all

function Timer()
{

local DeusExGoal goal;
local Name goalName;
local string goalText;

if(Flags.GetBool('Ready'))
{
goalName = 'KitchenGoal';
goalText = "Get me a sandwich";
goal = Player.AddGoal(goalName, True);
goal.SetText(goalText);
}
}

But walking into a flag that set 'Ready' in a test level didn't get the goal up.

How is the goal function not working?

Try debugging a bit: Does your code actually pass the if clause? (So was the bool/flag properly set?)

Also, did you activate the Timer() function? (by SetTimer)

Code: Select all

function Timer()
{
local DeusExGoal goal;
local Name goalName;
local string goalText;

if(Flags.GetBool('Ready'))
{
Log("Ready!", 'DEBUG');
goalName = 'KitchenGoal';
goalText = "Get me a sandwich";
goal = Player.AddGoal(goalName, True);
goal.SetText(goalText);
Log("GOAL DEBUG:"@goal, 'DEBUG');
}
}

Thanks for the prompt reply Alex!

I actually simply forgot to put in Super.Timer(); after the variables. It works!

Thanks for your help Alex! But still, what is wrong with the Player.GoalAdd function?

GoalAdd is a 'cheat', so to say. So you have to enable cheats in order to use it.

Code: Select all

exec function GoalAdd( Name goalName, String goalText, optional bool bPrimaryGoal )
{
   local DeusExGoal newGoal;

   if (!bCheatsEnabled)
      return;

   newGoal = AddGoal( goalName, bPrimaryGoal );
   newGoal.SetText( goalText );
}

Weird...AddGoal() doesn't work either. I thought burden's Goal Add Trigger used those functions.

Have you debugged it though? Did that give you any information on where it stops?

Yeah it doesn't seem to work but my current mission script method will do.

Thanks for the assistance!
