IF
InParty(Myself)
CurrentXP("3960000")
!HasItem("khosy")
THEN
RESPONSE #100
CreateItem("khosy")
END

Will this work in order to give my NPC, Kido, at 28th level (he is a Jester) his own special holy symbol? Or do I need to change something? It needs to get his own symbol like a Cleric does even though he is not a Cleric.

[Shed]

This will only work if his XP is exactly 3960000. Perhaps you should use CurrentXPGT? HasItem, and CreateItem need more than one argument, but without them it will probably default to Myself, which is OK .

[Stone Wolf]

XPGT(O:Object*,I:XP) should work better, and I'd put in a little local variable to keep the script from triggering more than once. The way it is now, it'll trigger multiple times if the NPC loses the item at any point. Try this:

IF
XPGT(Myself,3960000)
Global("Globalname","LOCALS",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
CreateItem("khosy")
SetGlobal("Globalname","LOCALS",1)
END

That should work. I dumped the InParty trigger since I don't think it's really necessary, and I swapped out the hasitem trigger for a local variable to prevent the block from repeating itself.

I wonder if this totally gives me what I really want. I put it below the script as a side note, but apparently not clear enough. I want my NPC to get the item if he levels to level 28. The xp needed for this is 3960000.

Is it perhaps possible to do this:

IF
LevelGT(Myself,27)
Global("Globalname","LOCALS",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
CreateItem("khosy")
SetGlobal("Globalname","LOCALS",1)
END

I doubt it cause I never saw 'LevelGT' before as a variable, but you kind of get the idea I hope

[Stone Wolf]

That would work (it's a valid trigger). You could also use:

Level(O:Object*,I:Level*)

The only problem with that is that if the NPC gets more than one level at a time (like if you leave your group killing that Fire Giant spawn in Saradush) it might not trigger. LevelGT is probably the best to use.

[Deathsangel]

IF
LevelGT(Myself,27)
Global("gotkhosy","LOCALS",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
CreateItem("khosy")
SetGlobal("gotkhosy","LOCALS",1)
END

This is now the code and the only thing that goes wrong

SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED [Kido the Jester (Requires Throne of Bhaal)]

Press ENTER to exit.

Does it need to become something like this:

IF
LevelGT(Myself,27)
Global("gotkhosy","LOCALS",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
CreateItemOn("DKido","khosy")
SetGlobal("gotkhosy","LOCALS",1)
END

DKido being the deathvariable

IESDP.

CreateItem(S:ResRef*,I:Usage1*,I:Usage2*,I:Usage3*)

I.e. CreateItem("khosy",0,0,0)

[Deathsangel]

What do the usages stand for?

I am looking at the item page of IESDP, but I do not see it there

Edited by Deathsangel, 08 January 2005 - 10:03 AM.

[SConrad]

Usage1 is stack-number of items. The others are irrelevant.

So, if you'd want to create 40 arrows, you'd script: CreateItem("arow01",40,0,0).

[Deathsangel]

Jeez, you are quick changed my former post as I found IESDP in another topic of you. But thanks I'll make the changes right away

Current code. Installation goes great, but if I let Kido go over level 28 he doesn't get his item. This is the piece of the .tp2 that has this script in it to be installed.

COMPILE ~Kido/d/KidoJ25.d~

COMPILE ~Kido/scripts/kido.baf~

COMPILE ~Kido/scripts/getkhosy.baf~

EXTEND_BOTTOM ~Ar0510.bcs~ ~Kido/scripts/Ar0510.baf~

EXTEND_TOP ~Ar6200.bcs~ ~Kido/scripts/Kidobio.baf~

COPY ~Kido\audio~ ~override~

My first idea was to put ~override~ behinde kido.baf & getkhosy.baf as that might make them work, but that goes horribly wrong with 4 mistakes in the installation. If I can see it right problems with stores. I can't post it as it to high up, before it dissappers of the screen and you can't stop the install and you can't scroll now can you?

What is wrong with the script or the installation by the .tp2

[Rastor]

EXTEND_BOTTOM ~Ar0510.bcs~ ~Kido/scripts/Ar0510.baf~

Does it work if you use EXTEND_TOP instead?

[Deathsangel]

That is another script, which has nothing to do with the item. And that script(Ar0510.baf) is his spawnscript, so to speak, and that most certainly works

I'm talking about getkhosy.baf

Just looked and I can CLUA the item and it works then, but that is it.

I also leveled up Viconia, but I saw that you then get a sentence in which it is said you get a holy symbol + you see a visual effect. Can anyone tell me the name of the file in which this is scripted. Cause it is actaully what I really want for Kido, even though he is a Jester.

Where is getkhosy.bcs assigned? Is there a file anywhere that calls it?

[Deathsangel]

It is nowhere called, but neither is kido.baf who triggers an interjections. Where should these to be called at?

Any idea how I can make it look like an Cleric level up by the way?

[SConrad]

The .baf's should not be assigned anywhere, since they're just uncomplied versions of bcs'. .bcs-versions, though, need to be assigned to a creature, to an area or appended to baldur.bcs, in order to get them to work.

So, you'll need to assign the kido.bcs to the override script of Kido.cre, and I'd add the block from getkhosy.baf to the top of Kido.baf.

I changed the last part which originally comes from you SConrad. However in game the interjection does not run.

This is the KidoJ file that is linked to it:

CHAIN

THEN KIDOJ quayle1
 ~Oh jeez, you... you're Quayle! You... you are one of the smartest illusionists one can meet! I mean, I have heard of you in many a tale. You are perhaps not a bard, but an illusionist comes close to a bard, and... and you can also summon the powers of the divine! I, too, once gave some thought to becoming a Cleric, but I already had such a good voice and had attuned myself so much with it, that I couldn't bring myself to do it.~ DO ~SetGlobal("KidoQuayle","LOCALS",1)~
 == QUAYLE ~I am glad that someone appreciates my intellect, but I have changed quite a bit thanks to my dear Aerie.~
 == KIDOJ ~You can't be serious! Have you changed, because of her? She is nothing more than a sniffling, whining little child.~
=
~How could you bring down one of the best adventurers that ever were?! You... you wingless Avariel!~
 == AERIEJ ~You... you should be ashamed of yourself. It is not nice to remind me of my present state. If it were not for Uncle Quayle, I would not have known what to do.~
 == KIDOJ ~All the better! You probably wouldn't have been here!~
 == QUAYLE ~That is enough! You will not shout at my beloved Aerie, nor will you cause her grief. Get out of my sight at once!~
 == KIDOJ ~Oh, fiddlesticks! He has really turned soft. I hate it when that happens.~
EXIT

[edit] I have just looked with the new scripting, but the item still isn't created. Neither, the interjections comes up

[SConrad]

You can not assign a .baf-file as override-script. Only .bcs-files is valid scripts in the game.

Yes, I can see you changed it. Now, remove the SetGlobal you added. The dialogue won't start if you don't. Otherwise, always set globals first in a script.

And you still don't need that many conditions in the dialogue when you already check them with your script.

[Deathsangel]

Well my debugger is just testing the scripts and adding that one global does not give problems.

Sorry for the confusion I did assign Kido.bcs script to the cre file. I forgot that I need to have a save from before I picked him up in order to let that script work. Which I find somewhat annoying.

It did not run due to a typo See("Qualye") must be See("Quayle"). Only then another problem remains. Only this is not neccessary to discuss here. My debugsters and I are working on it.

Will remove the conditions

[SConrad]

Yes, it does give problems.

From the script:

SetGlobal("KidoQuayle","LOCALS",1)

From the dialogue:

IF ~Global("KidoQuayle","LOCALS",0)~

The dialogue won't start if you don't remove the SetGlobal.

Will remove the conditions

Certainly not all of them, I hope.
