[DEFUNCT] - the event works fine.

not a bug (i guess) but module event PC_Loaded fires only when starting a new game

loading a saved game does not fire the event or so it appears.


Use the old standby, on_Client_Enter
( The difference is that when onClientEnter fires the PC is still in a limbo, where trying to do things that require a valid area may crash; the PCLoaded event fires later and should mean the PC is in a well formed area where actions can be assigned for example. But you can get away with a lot in the onClientEnter, tbh )

"it's not a bug its a feature" -- for example if you want to set state only once at the start of the campaign, onPCLoaded could be the place to do it. But you'd want to test that a bit ......

It's the only way to be sure.

I've always made sure my OnPCLoaded scripts only run once at the start of the game, just to be on the safe side (usually via a global variable). It seems I've been wasting precious seconds of my life adding a couple of extra lines to scripts.

Hi KevL,

I have a note at the top of my On PC Loaded script that says (to remind me): "THIS SCRIPT DOES APPEAR TO FIRE FOR EACH PLAYER ON A RELOAD (DOES SP ANYWAY)"
 

I have the following debug line check and it does send the message whenever I reload a saved game for the player:

 

SendMessageToPC(oPlayer, "PCLOAD FIRED FOR " + GetName(oPlayer));

I actually have more scripting code attached to this hook than the Client On Enter by the looks of it.

The note in my On Client Enter says this: "THIS SCRIPT FIRES AGAIN WHEN A PLAYER LOADS A SAVED GAME (BUT DOES NOT GUARANTEE PLAYER OBJECT - USE "ON PC LOADED" INSTEAD)"

Cheers,
Lance.

you're probably right. I was getting *highly* sporadic behavior from it, and since I was in the middle of tracking a weird bug that seems related to Armor unequipped when loading a saved game, what I wrote above is partly a rant.

thanks for the advice, but am not going to trust it until I figure out what was going on,

update: Ah, duplicate file in /Override, tks!

i think the Player-object is well formed; CreateItemOnObject(oPC) works consistently for me. The entering object is rather not guaranteed to be in any sort of a game-world

It's good to hear that I haven't been wasting my time being overly cautious.
