Scripting AGH!

[Craig]

I'm currently creating a Module(or whatever...) and, as always, I hate/can't script so I need help, I need one for attavking the character after talking, and how to persuade in a convo, please. I am serrioulsy getting confused.

[Craig]

Bump, I'd rather not let this fall to second place

[garazdawi]

wel let me see, it was a while sence I programmed anything in nwn so the syntax might be bad.. any way...

attacking after a conversation is part of the script wizard and you can use that to create that script.....Just go to the conversation pattern were you want the NPC to attack and then use the script wizard

As for doing a persuation check, so does it all depend on what you want to determine the persuation success....

either u use the getabilitypersuade and check if it is greater or equal to what you want to be the thresh hold.....

another way is to open the single player module and in there look at the script that uses the persuade ability


I don't have NWN installed at the moment, but I will install it later today as I'm gonna give the single player camplain another go..... If I remember I'll go and check out how the coding should be.....

[garazdawi]

Try using the scripts in this module.... I haven't tested them yet but they should work..... if not tell me and I'll check it...

[Craig]

The module works, but the scripts when taken out don't... they won't compile as it can't find some of the lines. I was wondering if you could do the conversation for me, sorry, but I just can't take it!! AGH SCRIPTS

"Who are you?Did the master send you?
-The master did send me. He wishes to see you.
--I was told to guard this gnome!
---Why do you think he sent me!(*Persuade(Medium): true walks out the door XP 500, I'll change the direction when I get there. *Persuade: false Attack)
---Sorry, I must have made a mistake...(End convo)
-I've come to kick your bubear butt to the other side of the spine of the world!(*Attack)
-Uh, I thought you were someone else(*Attack)"

And then

"Hey, I got de ordas to guard da room...
-Sorry, but you've got the wrong room...(*Persuade(Medium): true end convo "Ok's I leaves" above head. *Persuade: false, person says "Hey you think I'se to stupid to find room?"*Attack)
-I was let in, weren't you told? Cos they only tell them important ones, like you, yeah?(*Persuade(Easy): True end convo "Sure I is come in." above head. *Persuade: false Hey you call me stupid!!*Attack)
-ATTACK!!(*Attack)

I had to add a small part to the dialogue, fell free to edit it as you see fit. The part changed are surrounded by !text!. This is the way the dialogue ended up:

"Who are you?Did the master send you?
-The master did send me. He wishes to see you.
--I was told to guard this gnome!
---Why do you think he sent me!(*Persuade(Medium): true !sais "Ok, I'm goin" and! walks out the door XP 500, I'll change the direction when I get there. *Persuade: false !sais "You don't fool me!" and! Attack)
---Sorry, I must have made a mistake...(End convo)
-I've come to kick your bubear butt to the other side of the spine of the world!(*Attack)
-Uh, I thought you were someone else(*Attack)"

And then

"Hey, I got de ordas to guard da room...
-Sorry, but you've got the wrong room...(*Persuade(Medium): true end convo "Ok's I leaves" above head. *Persuade: false, person says "Hey you think I'se to stupid to find room?"*Attack)
-I was let in, weren't you told? Cos they only tell them important ones, like you, yeah?(*Persuade(Easy): True end convo "Sure I is come in." above head. *Persuade: false Hey you call me stupid!!*Attack)
-ATTACK!!(*Attack)

The only thing I had to add was the reaction to the persuation in convo_1.

BTW, as a sign of appriciation, is there anyway you could include a dwarf named Garazdawi in your module

PS: when u finish send me a PM of were the module can be downloaded

PSPS: there might be some problems with the script handling the two chars exiting.

To include this into your module you just have to import the convo files and set out two wp's called "move_to_1" and "move_to_2". These tags can be changed in the move scripts....

If anything comes up, tell me and I'l fix it
