Part of script wont fire

Zephirius

I'm perplexed. I'm simply trying to destroy oSloop, but it won't disappear. oSloop happens to be a placeable... I've no problem spawning in the new boat at the end of the script. It just won't destroy oSloop. Anyway, thanks for the responses ahead of time...

string sGroan;
string sGroans;

#include "nw_i0_2q4luskan"
void main()
{

   object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();
   if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

   sGroan = "as_cv_woodwater1";
   sGroans = "as_cv_woodwater2";

   DelayCommand(0.5, AssignCommand(oPC, PlaySound(sGroan)));
   DelayCommand(2.5, AssignCommand(oPC, PlaySound(sGroans)));

   object oSloop = GetObjectByTag("SLOOP_01");
   DestroyObject(oSloop, 0.0);

   effect eQuake = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_SCREEN_SHAKE);
   ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eQuake, oPC);

   location lLoc = GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag("SLOOP_RENEW"));
   DelayCommand(1.5, CreateObjectVoid(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, "zep_ship002", lLoc));

}

Just before DestroyObject,

SendMessageToPC(oPC, GetTag(oSloop));

will confirm whether an object with that tag exists.

If not, the tag is wrong.

Otherwise, perhaps you have more than one object with that tag?

I've accidentally created multiple of the same placeable via script before and when I went to destroy it, it was still there. Rather, one of its multiple copies was still there.

In which case, you need to delete them all.

   int n = -1;
   object oSloop = GetObjectByTag("SLOOP_01", ++n);
   while (GetIsObjectValid(oSloop))
     {
       DestroyObject(oSloop, 0.0);
       oSloop = GetObjectByTag("SLOOP_01", ++n);
     }
