Polymorph Self
-
Just a place to keep notes between me and sigriam for communication whiel we're working on it.
This spell functions like alter self, except that you change into another form of living creature. The new form may be of any of the following types: aberration, animal, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, ooze, plant, or vermin. The assumed form can’t have more Hit Dice than your caster level, to a maximum of 15 HD at 15th level. You can’t assume a form smaller than Fine, nor can you assume an incorporeal or gaseous form.
To-do

By level, and added a few that got missed.
Pixie's the default option for a non-setting, looks like (since it was in nwn's original spell, it's less confusing then using an orc or whatall). And it's impossible to not have enough Hit Dice to turn into one, even if you're a level 1 activating a item.

Here's the scripts. They work, but need adjusting:
- Local variable names
- Store variable on token, not on pc
- Shuffle critters around for balance
- Not optimized (goes through each if each time) - best way to do it is "if (nMaxHD >= && nPoly == 0)"
- Add more critters once they are in the 2da
- Merge item properties?
- Assign action cast spell if ends with "!" or something similar
- Merge with other CoA changes?
In the onPlayerChat event:
object oPC = GetPCChatSpeaker(); string sCommand = GetPCChatMessage(); if (GetSubString(sCommand, 1, 2) == "ps") { string sPolyFormID = GetSubString(sCommand, 4, GetStringLength(sCommand) - 4); SetLocalString(oPC, "sPolyFormID", sPolyFormID); SendMessageToPC(oPC, "Poly set at: " + sPolyFormID); //AssignCommand(oPC, ActionCastSpellAtObject(SPELL_POLYMORPH_SELF)); }Spell script I used and tested:```

What about converting to the poly-number and the HD-needed for it right away when the ".ps WhatEver" is given, and storing those two numbers instead of the string? As you'd usually set your favorite form and then stick to that, it would save a lot of repeated conversions at casting time, and you could e.g. catch a typo in '.ps BAISLISK' before you try and cast the spell, or tell the player it won't work for some other reason. (like insufficient HD) You'd just have to do a quick double check if the player is allowed to use that shape at casting time.
Also, why not just convert the string to uppercase once at the start of the conversion block, and store the result in sFormID:
string sFormID = GetStringUpperCase(GetLocalString(OBJECT_SELF, "sPolyFormID"));
Saves you doing the same conversion over and over again and makes the if statements more readable.
The conversion code could also just compare as many characters as are actually in the argument given, and pick the first match, so you wouldn't have to type out the whole word, just a unique enough prefix (and add some 'aliases' for commonly misspelled names, and things like "Green Dragon Wyrmling" with the most significant bit first..)
Actually you could even just publish a list of the Poly numbers and let people do their own conversions , as it's easier to memorize/refer to a note for your favorite few integers than typing in all those words all the time (this is used by casters that likely don't have many quickslots free…), I'd prefer typing .ps 231 over .ps WYRMLING GOLD DRAGON
I think TestStringAgainstPattern("*n",sFormID) can be used to detect if the sFormID is already a number and try to use it as is.
--
Note that you actually did miss-spell BASILISK in the script. (and at least INTELLECT DEVOURER too.) -
@omg:
- Merge item properties?
PolySelf doesn't do that one, it's one of them thigns that makes wildshape and shifters useful
A feedback message if they try and store a form they don't enough HD to turn into too.

Great ideas. I did want to implement the first two, but was eager to get it working.

I wanted to keep OnPlayerChat clean, and put the list in the polymorph spell script. This idea would save very little processing time I think - best keep it this way for readability.
-
Yeah, OnPlayerChat is pretty crowded, and only likely to get moreso. Dumping 100some line tables into it would get pretty bloated to try and find any sort of bugs.
-
I still think you want to make sure the value set is valid at the time it is being set or the caster will get a nasty surprise when polymorphing in the heat of battle, and by then any feedback wouldn't be as useful anymore
You can keep the player chat 'clean' (although according to other posts it is already pretty messy: /forum/viewtopic.php?t=107485&start=3 ) the way set kept the wildshape one clean, just call a worker script (or if the compiler/preprocessor being used allows it, use an include file.)
-
I still think you want to make sure the value set is valid at the time it is being set or the caster will get a nasty surprise when polymorphing in the heat of battle
Very good thinking. I suppose we can extract a function to check and determine the form and place it in a already included script, if CoA wishes to avoid new scripts.
But… If we don't include the same function call in the polymorph spell script, a non-valid form ID may its way to the poly spell script and the spell will fail or something strange will happen. Still, I dunno how anything but zero or undefined can make its way there, unless the 2da file is altered. We can check for those two and default to some neutral form. -
We can check for those two and default to some neutral form.
yes, you do have to do some checking of the validity of the stored state just before blindly using it, as it might be corrupted, not initialised etc. so that you know that if it's not what you expect it to be, you won't crash your plane or do something really unexpected, but some more or less harmless default instead. You (should) do this for digital circuits in hardware, it makes sense to do it for software too.
Anyway, if the state is already an integer instead of a string, your state-space is smaller, and also you can use a 'switch' instead of a big 'if-then-else'. I don't know if the 'switch' is compiled to anything different than the 'if-then-else', even if it isn't, a 'switch' is easier to read, especially if you have a few simple checks in advance to make sure the integer is between 0 and some MAX_POLY_ID constant you'd set up, and use fall through for ranges of invalid/undefined IDs.
Normally it's also a lot cheaper to use an integer as an index into a jump table (switch) than to repeatedly compare values until you find a match (if-tree).The conversion function is going to be rather a lot of work to type in, as you can't just use a hash table, or even iterate over an array, so I hope you're (or will be) using a program to generate the script text from the plain list of IDs and their Strings, so it's easier to change your mind on how to exactly implement/streamline the conversion function without having to do a lot of re-typing.
-
Um… yes. I did use a python script to generate the nwscript, but it's just bad practice to repeat the same code twice. Nwscript doesn't support hashtables, and arrays have to be done via a string codec or some similar hack.
It's easy to check if 0 < nPoly < MAX_POLY_ID, but the unexpected can occur if it's a valid value not found in the ploymorph.2da
If we get a valid nPoly into the polymorph spell script, we don't need a switch. Not unless CoA wishes to maintain two separate, identical tables.
That said, I vote to keep it simple. On each restart, reset the nPoly to zero, which keeps the original spell working as it is. If someone uses the chat command to change it, they risk miss-spelling, or using a wrong number. And they will find out when the poly spell is cast - it will end up being a normal poly spell. Wizardry is a dangerous business and miscasts happen. :)
I'll do the changes tomorrow.
-
if you're finding yourself typing the same code twice, you're not using functions enough, (or down to unrolling loops and inlining functions by hand because your compiler can't do it for you :) )
-
Here are the scripts with some modifications:
- Fixed spelling on basilisk and intellect devourer
- Added an option to cast spell right away (end cmd with "!")
- Now checking only for start of string (so ".ps mino" is as good as ".ps minotaur")
- Some feedback if you type ".ps" with no param, some defensive checks
- If bad param or no param, defaults to chicken. This will be a pixie.
- Reduced the number of ifs each time spell is cast to a perfectly acceptable amount, in average case.
- sFormID converted to uppercase at the start
Remaining to be considered:
- Currently no feedback after chat command, only after spell is cast
- Currently can't use number (i.e. .ps 140). Since it still has to be checked for HD and existence, it's same as alias.
- Add aliases as OR conditions.
- Better feedback (Bad spelling or not enough HD?)

@omg:
- Currently can't use number (i.e. .ps 140). Since it still has to be checked for HD and existence, it's same as alias.
Given there's something like 350 polymorphs in the 2da, and you're trying to make sure they stick to the 70 or so available there, doing the numbers while blocking access to the other stuff would be an incredible PITA. And I can't see too many people using a numbered list anyhow, even if it was published, since you can quickslot it either way in the same fashion.
-
well, there's only a very limited number of quickslots, so I'd probably not want to waste them on things you can type in quickly, like ".ps 132!"; but rather use them for things tht you'd have to click through a few layers of menu for to access..
(oh another feature could be having .ps ! just cast the spell with whatever is the current polymorph target.)
-
To provide proper feedback (is it bad spelling or not enough caster levels, or not enough target HD), the script needs to be changed like so:
if(ComparePolyStr(sFormID, "EYEBALL")) { nPoly = 213; nHD = 1; } else if(ComparePolyStr(sFormID, "GOBLIN")) { nPoly = 157; nHD = 1; } //... ```The top level conditions (if nMaxHD >= <n>) need to be removed, and the check for HD done after you know which form caster desires. I think that would keep the script readable, so we may want to do it. Any takers?</n> -
Added proper feedback.

As lovely as transgender polymorphing is, the male/female options should probably just go off the players gender with a check under the "FIRE GIANT" "FROST GIANT" etc
