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.

_EW_

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

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

The *.utm file of your store.

_EW_

thats what i had but the script wouldent fire

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?

_EW_

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;)

its attached to the dialog the tag is right

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

|I|

i never posted the name did i?

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

|I|

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

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.

_EW_

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

.mod file....

|I|

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