Title: Events in attached scripts
Post by: robot on November 14, 2008, 02:39:35 PM

i have a question and i don't know if this is a bug or not:

ok, there is a script attached to an object in the scene editor.
in this script there is another script attached (with the attachScript method). i have implemented a on "talk" event there.

now my problem is that ....this.CanHandleEvent("Talk").... in the first script gives me false.
i thought wme is script multitasking or is it only possible to handle the events in only one script (which is applied in the scene editor)
you know what i mean?

If you call CanHandleEvent before attaching the other script, it will return false. But once the other script is attached, it should return true.

this is the code for the first script:

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"

Game.AttachScript("scenes\04_wegweiser\scr\zelt_talk.script");
Game.Msg(this.CanHandleEvent("Talk"));

on "LookAt"
{
 ...


the second one (zelt_talk.script)

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

on "Talk"
{
  ...
}


the CanHandleEvent gives me still false  ???

You're attaching the script to Game. It should be:

this.AttachScript("blah blah");
