IF
Global("R#Tabi","AR0406",1)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("RTabi","AR0406",2)
CreateCreature("r#tiva",[900.803],3)
END

For some reason, the NPC won't spawn. All variables are set correctly. What is wrong?

[SConrad]

Have you used EXTEND_TOP to append the existing ar0406.bcs?

[Blitz]

EXTEND_TOP ~AR0406.bcs~ ~tabby\X#AR0406.bcs~

Yes I have.

Are you sure you're setting your inital global R#Tabi to 1? Normally you would have it start at zero (since all globals read as zero unless modified) and up it to one to stop it.

IF
Global("R#Tabi","AR0406",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("RTabi","AR0406",1)
CreateCreature("r#tiva",[900.803],3)
END

Try that. You can also extend it as an uncompiled .baf file instead of a .bcs snippet.

EXTEND_TOP ~AR0406.bcs~ ~tabby\X#AR0406.baf~

It's easier, quicker, and better for debugging.

IF
Global("R#Tabi","AR0406",1)

How is this variable being set? Are you sure it's getting set to 1?

EXTEND_TOP ~AR0406.bcs~ ~tabby\X#AR0406.bcs~

Yes I have. 

I bet this is the problem, if it isn't the globals. Are the script you posted in .baf or .bcs format?

[Blitz]

I'll try using a BAF...

[hlidskialf]

It doesn't HAVE to be in .baf format, it's just easier. If you've done it via .bcs it should still work.
What about the global situation I (and StoneWolf! ) pointed out? I'd think that would be the issue.

[Blitz]

I've checked globals...it still refuses to work. I'll keep trying.

Is this the exact code? If so, you've got two different globals when you should only be dealing with one. You're missing a #.

As for not spawning, we probably will need a bit more info here. What's in your .tp2? Are you using a saved game that has already loaded the Copper Coronet?

Oh, sorry! I fixed this awhile ago!

Pardon my laziness (should have posted), and thank you for the help.

EDIT: And forgive me for posting that twice

What sets that area variable to 1?

[Blitz]

Okay, I have another problem. I can't get a group of NPCs to spawn in the sewers beneath the temple district.

IF
Global("R#Plot",GLOBAL",10)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("R#Plot","GLOBAL",11)
CreateCreature("r#tiva",[2936.517],5)
CreateCreature("r#kaen",[3047.563],5)
CreateCreature("r#csold",[2429.893],5)
CreateCreature("r#csold",[2460.948],5)
CreateCreature("r#csold",[2398.933],5)
CreateCreature("r#csold",[2341.958],5)
CreateCreature("r#csold",[2365.996],5)
CreateCreature("r#csold",[2288.987],5)
CreateCreature("r#csold",[2314.1022],5)
CreateCreature("r#ccent",[2486.889],5)
END

I checked my globals, and they're fine. So are the names of the creatures i'm creating.
To get spawning in the thief guild, I had to put...

COPY_EXISTING ~ar0305.are~ ~override~
WRITE_ASCII 0x94 ~ar0305~

...in the .tp2 file to get it to work. Are the sewers a similar situation? Or is there some hidden typo i'm missing in the CreateCreature code?

Just when I thought I had this thing down, it shoots me in the foot.

Woah...I fixed it.

I forgot the " near the GLOBAL.

Yes! I fixed one of my own mistakes! Declare a national freakin' holiday! Hoo-ya!

I should really point out that R# is Rastors registered modding prefix if that's what you were actually using...

Yes, he did take both R! and R#. And yes, he did do that on purpose. rpdungeon.net for Rastors mods.

[Blitz]

Why did he take both of them?!


Rrrrr...

Oh, well. Now I have to change all mine to B# or something.

Nobody steal it or I will flame you back to the stone age!

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I asked them to put B# on the list for me.

EDIT Deux: They put B# on the list! Woo-hoo!
