A newbie scripting question

    [​IMG] I'm having a newbie scripting problem which I can't get solved no matter what I try. The thing I want to happen is this: When I kill a certain creature, a local variable on another creature shall be set to 2, which should give me more options in conversation.

    This is what happens when I kill the goblin (I added it to his on death script):

    ActionSpeakString("You were supposed to die! You were all supposed to die!");
    SetLocalInt(GetObjectByTag("HARICK"), "HARICK_SPOKEN", 2);

    ...and this is the script for "text appears when" for Harick:

    int StartingConditional()
    {

    // Inspect local variables
    if(GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "HARICK_SPOKEN") == 2)
    return TRUE;

    return FALSE;
    }

    Harick's (he's a very nice ranger btw) tag is HARICK, so that's not the problem. I'm sure this problem is very basic but still I haven't found a solution in any tutorial, so any help is welcomed.

    You haven't said what your problem is; which part of the above doesn't do what you want?

    The first thing I'd do is make sure that GetObjectByTag("HARICK") in the goblin's script returns something other than OBJECT_INVALID.

    .. and of course add debug texts that prints variable contents for example.

    And you don't have to attach it to your ranger. You can attach the variable to the module itself if you think that is easier. You are certain that the ranger is spawned at the time?
