ToB Dream Script not firing?

[berelinde]

I'm trying to get a dialogue to fire from the dream script the first time the party rests in ToB... and it isn't happening.

 

This is the tp2 pdialog.2da appending

//2da appending for dialogues
APPEND ~pdialog.2da~
~b!gavin2	b!gavp	 b!gavj	 b!gavd	 b!gav25p	 b!gav25j	 b!gav25d	 b!gav25s~
UNLESS ~b!gavin2~

 

This is the script block (and yes, I checked it against the compiled script)

// first night since Hell - dialogue in b!tob_romance.d

IF 
InParty(Myself) 
Global("B!GavToBLT","GLOBAL",3) 
Global("B!GavRA","GLOBAL",2) 
!StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) 
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) 
See(Player1) 
CombatCounter(0) 
THEN 
RESPONSE #100 
	SetGlobal("B!GavToBLT","GLOBAL",4) 
	PlaySong(0) 
	PlaySound("bgav_sl") 
	StartDialogueNoSet(Player1) 
END

 

And all the variables check out.

 

Everything from b!gav25s.bcs is firing OK, so I'm confused. Do dream scripts not run in the pocketplane?

[berelinde]

Huh. Strangest thing. The above refused to fire, no matter what I did. The script below, which changes the location of ONE LINE, went off without a hitch. So now we know: Set the global IMMEDIATELY before the SDNS().

 

This was the working script:

IF 
InParty(Myself) 
Global("B!GavToBLT","GLOBAL",3) 
Global("B!GavRA","GLOBAL",2) 
!StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) 
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID) 
See(Player1) 
CombatCounter(0) 
THEN 
RESPONSE #100 
	PlaySong(0) 
	PlaySound("bgav_sl") 
	SetGlobal("B!GavToBLT","GLOBAL",4) 
	StartDialogueNoSet(Player1) 
END

 

Edit: I should point out that this is a dream script. Had it been a regular override script, the activation block would have been different from the execution block and this issue would never have arisen.

So

 

PlaySong()

PlaySound()

 

blocks the evaluation?

 

What was the global setting after the first block refused to fire - not set, or set and no SDNS?

[berelinde]

Not run! I had the troubleshooting mod installed and the DSH for that script block didn't show.

 

For whatever reason, my installation seems to be rather CTD resistant. I'll get a silent misfire or a hanging cutscene where some with newer machines will get a crash. Wonder if this is another source of inexplicable, intermittant CTD...
