I made an item that grabs an FFC to run a specific script. As far as I can tell, that script seems to dislike being run on FFC #6, and will fail silently. It won't even run the Trace statement that's the first thing in the script. A very similar script runs fine, and changing the script number or name of the ffc script didn't change this behavior.

 

Any idea what could be wrong?

That is very unspecific actually to debug something like this most details of screen setups etc are needed. Also is there any screen carryovers etc etc.

Here's a quest that I tried to slim down as much as possible with the error.

 

You can't use the sword on the screen labeled 6.

Looks like you've found a bug.
An FFC isn't allowed to change its own script, since it would be pretty hard to get that to work correctly. Turns out the check for that doesn't distinguish between FFCs and items. The item number is 5, and the internal FFC number is 5, so it doesn't allow the change.

I think that'll be easy to fix for 2.50.1. For now, you'll have to work around it by using higher-numbered items.

I should've known it was because I was trying to use a script with the sword.

 

Thanks for figuring that out. Luckily the work-around is quite easy.
