If you meet all of these conditions: | |||
#[[Activate]] a [[Container]], so that you run it's [[OnActivate]] block, that is: | |||
<pre>YourContainer.Activate player, 1</pre> | |||
#from an [[Object scripts|Object Script]] (and maybe a [[Magic effect scripts|Magic Effect Script]], but a [[Quest scripts|Quest Script]] or direct activation would be safe) | |||
#when a scripted item is in it (even a [[Scriptname]] declaration is too much) | |||
you will get a CTD upon activation. The easiest way around it is to place the script on another object (an [[Activator]], etc.) and activate it instead of the container. You can also use a [[Quest scripts|Quest Script]] to activate the container, as such: | |||
<pre>scn YourOpenerQuest | |||
ref rContainerToOpen | |||
float fQuestDelayTime | |||
begin GameMode | |||
if (fQuestDelayTime != .01) ;to activate the container quicker | |||
set fQuestDelayTime to .01 | |||
endif | |||
rContainerToOpen.Activate player, 1 | |||
StopQuest YourOpenerQuest | |||
end</pre> | |||
and use this whenever you want to activate a container: | |||
<pre>scn ActivatingScript | |||
set YourOpenerQuest.rContainerToOpen to YourContainer | |||
StartQuest YourOpenQuest</pre> | |||
