New to Modding - Script Actions Misbehaving

First off, I'm really impressed at what you all have made. I'm very new to modding my games and have only a basic understanding of coding, so I've limited myself to tweaking and adding actions scripts for the time being.

I successfully made a script for characters with tail = 'tentacles' (for example, Scylla) to tentacle fuck one or more characters with a vagina, but when I tried to extend it to tentacle 'spitroast' or to fuck 'mouth', 'vagina', 'anus' simultaneously, well, the action script appears, but doesn't interact in the sex session.

I've combed through it several times, but I'm missing whatever is causing the script to fail. If anyone would be willing to look at it, or has any recommendations for spotting what the error could be, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.

I've linked copies of the three tentacle action scripts as GoogleDocs (if there is a better way you prefer, let me know). 265tentacleinsert.GD is the one that's working as intended. 266tentacleanal.GD and 267tentaclefull.GD are failing to perform.

265tentacleinsert.GD

266tentacleanal.GD

267tentaclefull.GD

Thanks again to anyone who reads this.

First, I have a bugfix patch that improves the modding system among other things, which is located on the Strive Discord(https://itch.io/t/284398/discord), just search for "change log". The Discord is the best place for modding advice as the most active modders tend to be there. The bugfix won't help you with your particular problem, but it comes with an improved tutorial in the mod system's help section.

Second, the game usually opens with 2 windows: the game window and a terminal that lists errors. That second window can be quite useful when things don't behave properly. So I ran the game with your scripts to get the error messages, and found that the logic of your file does not agree with the logic of the sex system.

I'm on lunch break so this is a bit rushed. The game expects basically a 1 to 1 pairing of persons and parts used. So "takerpart2" implies that there must be second giver to match the second part occupied on the taker. Also there is no "takerpart3" in the game's logic, but if it did then it would require a third giver, so tentaclefull just won't work the way you expect. Next, the logic of your requirements allows for either 2 givers or 2 takers, so long as one has 2 and one has 1, but as I pointed out this is not how the parts work. The system is a bit convoluted and broken. I'll see if I can find a work around when I get done with work, but chances are you'll have to make do with matching the profiles of existing actions, unless you mod "newsexsystem.gd".

Thanks for the link! I appreciate your breakdown. What you said makes sense. I'll tinker with it a bit more to see what I can cheat. Thanks again!

Ok. I was making this way too complicated.

The solution I've settled on for now is to have a tentaclevaginal, tentacleanal, and tentacleoral script separate. They can be used at the same time since they don't require a giver part. It's a lot more versatile this way as well.

If anyone wants the scripts, the links above still work. Just add them to files/scripts/actions, and when you use a Scylla or another character you've modded to have 'tentacles' in the 'tail' slot, then they can get up to some good old hentai-style antics.

Enjoy!

(but... do let me know if someone comes up with something better.)
