This kind of thing is kinda popular. so rather than every individual builder etc. creating a whole new OnSpawn event sript for their own statues, it's probably better to make a single resource and use that to save the number of different scripts and hard resource limits.

I would definitely recommend taking care to combine with OnConversation event script that ensures they always face the correct orientation and remove/modify OnAttacked, otherwise the statuses will animate in different circumstance.

Also, further, it may be even more prescient to have a standard "SpawnAs..." statue, "ghostly", etc. kind of script so builders can set a variable and a common scruipt will ensure the correct results...

It doesn't work. I wanted to post things on that 'issue tracked forum' and it never works for me, it won't let me log in.

I think Tempest also wrote in his post that it didn't work for him so I'm not alone. o.o

@mr-moloch said in Smoke Claws:

Lords....I forgot to put the OnHitCastSpell property on the item. ffs.

LOL

classic.

Can probably test it again but when testing Song of Fury my test subject reported that the rage did not last a full 10 rounds. It also doesn't effect the bard themselves, whether that is intended or not.

@verkosh:

Hatmets are HERESY in the eyes of the EMPRAH. Only Slaneesh cultists would dare wear such

The verk speaks truth.

If you host a game those characters will go in server vault <_<

That one is a search system based on the on player chat to find items using a character's search skill. Also some DMFI stuff. I could also use some tutorials on while loops, or loops in general as I struggle with them sometimes.

You don't need one at all, it's probly a really bad way to do it. I mean, you could just have a bunch of objects somewhere with all the information stored either as local variables, or as descriptions or whatever you wanted. Or you could create a megatonne of actual conversation files, but I would advise against that.

If you really really need to then fiddle by hand with the orientation, you can use SetFacing ();

@Zool:

Also it would probly cause an infinite loop because I AM ALWAYS AWESOME

Looks like we found the source of the infinite loop issue :wink:

Thanks buddy. We already have a script for this, I don't know if it was cancelled or doesnt run in some places or what. There are some issues with running it, like checking it really -should- run right then, so people don't lose out on loot they are about to pick up,m but those can be negated with further checks.

Respawn is essentially the same as ressurection or raise dead, just (probably) with different XP penalties, and a different means of triggering it. You probably want to use a conversation with some NPC (or whatever) and have a script fire in that, that is, essentially, identical to your res scripts, but with a different value in the variable it uses to remove XP.

Whitelight is considerably different, as you need to actually delete characters from your server. That requires scripts outside of your game (I think, though honestly I'm not all that sure)

The other option is to simply apply a variable to a character token (an item given on character creation, that can be used to store persistant variables relating to that specific character) upon whitelighting, this variable, lets called it

iAmWhitelighted

Gets set to 1.

Any further conversations with the guy who respawns you could result in him saying he can't help you (use "text appears when", in the conversation option, and check for the variable on the character token)

And any ressurection spells could find the character (Which it must already do) then check that variable, and if its 1, just stop (and probly send a message to the players involved)

@Dedagin:

@Zool:

oh yeah, sorry, I was trying to apply logic to NWN's systems. Silly me.

This works only if you then throw all of your results out, then plop in a totaly arbitrary number, like 42.

The Sacred Answer to the Universe is NEVER arbitrary!

yup easy mistake, made it about a bajillion times myself.

We'd be much more interested in more options for existing classes if he can do that.

Hey DiaboSatan, has this been scripted in please?
