I don't know if you guys know much about scripting, but i really need an answer.

Here's the thing. This script works...

*********************

Begin Mkb_Disable

short DoOnce

if ( Doonce == 0 )
if ( OnActivate == 1 )

Disable
"Mkb_Fire01"->Enable
set DoOnce to 1
endif
endif

end
*****************************

This one doesn't work...

*******************************

Begin Mkb_Disable

short DoOnce

if ( Doonce == 0 )
if ( GetDistance, Player < 200 )

Disable
"Mkb_Fire01"->Enable
set DoOnce to 1
endif
endif

end

***************************

Why??? Absolutley NOTHING happens.
Can anyone help? :(

I am not an expert scripter, but maybe that can help.

EDIT: EDIT:Oh. The only problem is this line:

if ( GetDistance, Player < 200 )

Try quotation marks around player.

Once again, don't laugh at me because I'm not an experiance scripter, i'm only trying to help lol

You only need quotation marks around an ID if there are spaces. In this case, it will work either way.

OK, so the bush doesn't Disable at all? (You could try doing the Disable after the Enable and SET DoOnce TO 1 Line). Put something like:

IF ( GetDistance, Player < 200 )
MessageBox "Close enough!"

That will let you know if the GetDistance part fires.

well, i figured it out.
********************

Begin Mkb_Disable

short DoOnce
short Done

if ( Doonce == 0 )
if ( GetDistance, Player < 200 )
set DoOnce to 1
endif
endif

if ( Doonce == 1 )
if ( Done == 0 )
Disable
"Mkb_Fire01"->Enable
set Done to 1

endif
endif

end

**********************************

Thank you for all the help. I spent so much time trying to figure it out. i tried all of the suggestions. the MessageBox helped alot.
