Thanks for responding. I will try to keep figuring it out. Good system though. I like NWN and NWN2 because I use it to play and practice programming. But sometimes I get stuck. So I appreciate any help you can give. Take care.

Yeah, I got this working eventually. It was one of those incredibly ridiculous problems where you look at a line of code a dozen times before you realize you did one simple obvious thing wrong.

I actually just found an include designed specifically for doing what I want buried deep in the underbelly of CoA. It's so deep, no one knows who made it, but it's rumoured the great script sorceror Bacon waded through the amalgam of code, and made magical adjustments some time ago.

Now to figure out how it works.

Unfortunately, the systems above haven't been updated to account for the new content delivered in the 1.69 patch, much less custom content.
They simply don't work in their current state (I preformed some cursory tests, locally).
And yes, the number of additional resources required to make them function is off-putting.

It would be more effort than it would be worth. There would be massive resolution issues including poly counts, nevermind textures, add to that the fact that NWN 2 likely has more vertical possibilities than NWN 1 (more 3d than 2.5D, probably, not entirely sure) and you have one hell of a task ahead of you.

The answer is yes, essentially, but boy… I would not want to take on that project.

Hm. I like this.

Thanks

Oh. thanks, yeah, Azzmodan told me about this way of doing it. Cheers for the help though, and maybe someone else will find this useful in the future.

I'm omitting the spell "Imbue Item" since it is a crafting type feat, and would affect the balance of CoA's economy. I haven't by any means ruled it out, but I'd rather deal with it later on.

Yea, except when they stand back up and can't ID all the stuff they had.

oh i so have to make a char with a familiar

The hybrid form -DOES- have dodge. Otherwise it wouldnt stack with the shield spell, which it does.

While we do not share most of our scripts, this one is fairly easy to implement. Have an item script created attached to a proper item and use the idea of:ject

object oItem = GetFirstItemInInventory(oTarget); ... while (GetIsObjectValid(oItem)) { SendMessageToPC(oUser, GetName(oItem)); oItem = GetNextItemInInventory(oTarget); } ...

Cheers

I think what the OP is considering is the possibility of finding better armors than RH provide and modifying them using that requested item.

This scripting is for a working Mode Switch. For those who don't understand or know how it works.

I have confirmed this will work with the nw_s0_summon and cs_summon__inc scripts linked here, in a blank module.

To create a Mode Switch:

Use the Toolset to create a new Miscellaneous Small item. Name it "Mode Switch" (without the "). This way, the tag/resref will be modeswitch.

Create two blank scripts in the Script Editor. They should look like this:

//modeswitch #include "x2_inc_switches" void main() { int nEvent =GetUserDefinedItemEventNumber(); switch (nEvent) { case X2_ITEM_EVENT_ACTIVATE: ExecuteScript("ac_"+GetTag(GetItemActivated()), OBJECT_SELF); break; } } /* Script generated by Lilac Soul's NWN Script Generator, v. 2.3 For download info, please visit: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=4683&id=625 */ //ac_modeswitch void main() { object oPC = GetItemActivator(); object oTarget = GetItemActivatedTarget(); SetLocalObject(oPC, "oLastTargettedItem", oTarget); SendMessageToPC(GetItemActivator(), "You take hold of the " + GetName(oTarget) + " and concentrate."); }

The second script is special, in that when you target a reagent, it will speak a line in your dialog. This line will fire no matter what you target:

You take hold of the Light Crossbow and concentrate.
You take hold of the Fiery Stick of Dhoom and concentrate.
You take hold of the Slaad's Tongue and concentrate.

Any of these could pop up, depending on what you target. But they aren't all going to have reagent themes. (Slaad's Tongue, however, does.)

The Mode Switch just selects what you want to attempt to use as a reagent. If it is, in fact, a reagent, when you cast Summon Creature (1-9), you will receive a special creature.

If you target something that isn't a reagent, you will fall back to either a Deity/Racial/Alignment theme, or the default theme, as a last resort. So the spell won't be wasted.

I hope it was okay to post this here for other scripters, to help those who may not have understood how a Mode Switch worked. If not, you can deleted as needed.

/topic/220

I figured you guys knew it was there. Bacon linked me to it when I made mention of hunting down Moloch's script, which I already knew was on NWvault, I just couldn't find it.

That's why I put this in Off-Topic.

Try drawing a trigger starting from it's middle point then? You could always make a "ring" shape around that point.
