OnEnter-problems

I assume that almost every builder has noticed the OnEnter-problem introduced in 1.21. If not here's Rob McGinnis quick update. When looking over all scripts in the module that are affected by this I found that assigning variables to a PC through a OnEnter-script (Area, Module, Trigger) as the first thing that happens when the player enters a new area is unreliable, not only after 1.21 but has been so since the first version. This was news to me. Important news. You see, I have some variables set on the PC when he/she enters a new area. Such as if the PC is in a Dark Area or a Theif-Free Area. Sometimes checks against those variables have failed and I have suspected myself to have missed setting the variables correctly. It seems that I've been setting them before the Area is completely loaded (or if it's that the PC isn't controllable) . So now when I've introduced a loop that checks that the PC has the variable everything works fine. The same thing works for conversations started from a trigger. You have probably worked this out already but heres how I did:

#include "ginc_item_script"
void StartConversation(object oPC);

void main(string sCommand = "")

{
  object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
  if (!GetIsObjectValid(GetControlledCharacter(oPC))) return; //*  
  if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;          
  string sTrigger = GetTag(OBJECT_SELF);

  if (sTrigger == "TR_RIVER2A") // Entering the River Area from north
  {      
      StartConversation(oPC);      
  }  
  else if (sTrigger == "TR_ARAGAIN") // Entering the aragaiN Falls
  {
      CreateBoat(GetLocation(GetObjectByTag("WP_ARAGAIN")));
      StartConversation(oPC);
  }
}

void StartConversation(object oPC)
{ //Fix the OnEnter problem in version 1.21
  if (!GetLocalInt (OBJECT_SELF, "Trigged") && !IsInConversation(oPC))
  {  
      DelayCommand(0.5, AssignCommand(oPC, ActionStartConversation(oPC, "river_travel", TRUE, FALSE)));
      DelayCommand (1.0, StartConversation(oPC));
  }
}
