That's the right script, it seems. I think that your tag must be wrong. If you're unsure what your tag is, post a screenshot of the file.

i know what the tag is but tag of...?

[EnderWiggin]

i know what the tag is but tag of...?

The *.utm file of your store.

thats what i had but the script wouldent fire

[EnderWiggin]

Are you sure? Can you post a screenshot of the tag?

The script isn't the problem. Are you compiling the script? Are you putting the script in your override? Are you attaching the script to a dialog?

Canderis, you probably haven't attached the script to a dialogue node.

Oh, and I have to say one thing to you: Now that EW is dealing with your problem, it will be solved, no matter what...Way to go, EW;)

Well, your script is named "st_startstore", and in the dialogue you have "st_startstore001". That's why the store doesn't open;)

[Canderis]

i never posted the name did i?

[Istorian]

I saw the name from your script in the first post!:xp:

[Canderis]

well ill try renaming it do i put it in the override or in the .mod file?

[EnderWiggin]

No, you didn't. But that's what the stoffe named her script, which is the script you are using.

And try putting it in a blank node (like make a new struct spoken by the NPC, leave it blank, and then put the script there.)

I'm not sure if that will work, but I know it's something that I always abide by.

well do i put the script in override or in the .mod file??

[Istorian]

.mod file....

[EnderWiggin]

That depends. If you have a mod file, then yes, it goes in your mod file. Pack everything in there and try again.
