Hello!

I have ToBEX installed with "Enable PickpocketFailed Trigger=1" but I don't seem to make it trigger.

I tested with the following:
 
 
<<<<<<<< stweaks/baf/#gmarek.baf
IF
PickPocketFailed([PC])
THEN
RESPONSE #100
Kill(Myself)
END
>>>>>>>>
EXTEND_TOP ~MAREK.BCS~ ~stweaks/baf/#gmarek.baf~
 

but nothing happens when a party member attempts pickpocketing.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks!

Heya Salk!

 

While I'm not the expert on newfangled tech these days (ToBEx being newfangled, lol, as if), I guess I can only ask some obvious questions:

 

1) You're trying to pickpocket Marek obviously, after extending his script, right?

2) You're trying it with a character who's likely to fail and does so, preferably the actual PC?

 

Only other recommendation is to try DisplayStringHead() instead of Kill(), since you can try to trigger that multiple times and it might thus be more replicable (for testing).

 

[Edit: I see now on G3 that CamDawg had a remotely related comment about instant triggers, but to be honest, I'm not so sure that's the case here, unless there's more to that script.]

Yeah, the script snippet wasn't posted at G3--this definitely has nothing to do with PPF being an instant trigger and, AFAICT, should work as is.

Is marek.bcs actually assigned to Marek? My BGT install doesn't even have a marek.bcs.

Why is this Hypnotoad video so popu... ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Hello again!

As I said at G3, everything was solved. I was using a somehow screwed up saved game for my testing because this morning everything was working fine.

Indeed marek does not have a marek.bcs but I did create one:
 

 

IF
Global("PartyCured","GLOBAL",0)
PickPocketFailed([PC])
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("PartyCured","GLOBAL",6)
StartDialogNoSet(LastTrigger)
END

 

Thanks for the assist both here and at G3!
