For the benefit of the doubt, since Pedro asked how to do it:

1.Create an emitter trap under emitter trap (-2555) Name it ReloadEmitter. EmitterState: on, Emit: Continue, AnimC :, Sim Rate: 500, MaxFrames: 1, EmitWhat: broadhead change sript 0 to: ReloadTweqEmit


2.Create another emitter trap under the one you just created and name it UselessEmitter , EmitterState: on,
AnimC:None, MiscC:None,CurveC: none, Rate:500,MaxFrames: 1, EmitWhat: broadhead Save your gamesys.

Now, create the ReloadEmitter in a blue room, and adjacent to it create a banner about 1o units away, and so the ReloadEmitter is aimed at the center of the banner.

To the banner add: Material Tags:leave blank, NoMin 0, NoMax(checked) Add Receptrons: PokeStim, Set Property:TargetObject: Type in ReloadEmitter,or the Archetype number(-xxxx) AgentObject: Type in UselessEmitter, or the Archetype number(-xxxx) Now under Edit Effect: CfgTweqEmit

Create a button in this blueroom and name it: IronManButton

To the same banner add Receptrons: PokeStim, NoMin 0, and NoMax(checked), add: FrobObject, and Use Target Object: type in IronManButton or the concrete object number.

Link the IronManButton using a cd link to a qvartrap named IncLoadCounter >trap: +1:LoadCounter

Create a questvartrigger (-4370) and name it:IronManChecker, trap: >1:LoadCounter
Use a cd link from IronManChecker to a Mechanist Blue Alarm (-1901) Cd link IronManChecker to a Qvartrap named IronManFailer, add>Trap: =3:goal_state_x, where x is the number of the goal "Do not reload save"

For your goal, use a notype, Incomplete because you will use a qvartrap to fail the goal.(In Yandros Mission Data there is no reverse set, as in a "don't do this" type objective.) I didn't add it here.

After you start the mission, exit the game, and in dromed check Mission Quest Data: LoadCounter 0

As Yandros stated above, when the game starts the Emitter will fire once, and the button is cdlinked to the Load Counter +1:LoadCounter If another load is attempted say during the game it would change the value, and fail the mission. The only load allowed is at game start.

R Soul's suggestion above will eliminate over half that mess. :cheeky:

yes it is. I had to use old school Doors to control the error alarm in CCR. the smelters. It is reliable at least.

I am sure that Pedro would welcome an example of NvScript to implement the same thing! That is if anyone knows how to do it. In other words, a tested method using NVScript and not some untested theory. If it worked for Russ, then it will work for Pedro.

I already did, but for the sake of clarity, the NVRelayTrap object replaces the IronManButton object you suggested, and there is no need for the emitter trap.

As R Soul said:

The checking of the qvar is the same as darthsLair suggested.

I think though that NVTrapSetQVar might be a better and more direct route, using NVTrapSetQVar="BeginScript" and <var>Trap>Quest Var: +1:LoadCounter

</var>That will increment the <var>LoadCounter</var> qvar each time a "BeginScript" message is received. Which you can then detect with either <var>TrigQVar </var>or <var>NVTrigQVar</var> and respond appropriately by failing the goal.

Again, like Yandros and R Soul, I would strongly urge you not to do this. It is not good gameplay.
