adding script to the conversation NWN2

Remove all ads!

I am very new to module building with the NWN2 toolset and I need a little help to get started. I haven't started an actual module yet because I want to learn some of the basics. I've downloaded a few toolset files and they have helped me in some areas but I'm still having trouble with something very basic.

I've created a couple of areas and transitioned them. In the interior area I've created an NPC and made him a conversation. In one of the ending nodes of the conversation I've added script under the action tab. The script is supposed to make the NPC attack the PC when that line is chosen. Whenever I go and test it out nothing happens. What am I missing or doing wrong?

 

Would you be able to post the script here, Dragonfly?

It should look something like this:

Code:

void main()
{
object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();

AssignCommand( OBJECT_SELF, ActionAttack(oPC));
}

You're welcome to just copy that across, however if you do want to post your script, I'm more than happy to take a look at it and walk you through if there are any problems.

 

This is the script I used. I got the script from a script generator that I downloaded from a site called Neverwinter Nights 2 Toolset.

#include "nw_i0_generic"
void main()
{

object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();

object oTarget;
oTarget = OBJECT_SELF;

SetIsTemporaryEnemy(oPC, oTarget);

ActionAttack(oPC);

DetermineCombatRound(oPC);

oTarget = GetObjectByTag("n_khralver");

SetIsTemporaryEnemy(oPC, oTarget);

AssignCommand(oTarget, ActionAttack(oPC));

AssignCommand(oTarget, DetermineCombatRound(oPC));

}

As you can probably guess, the tag of the character was n_khralver. I just used a default character that was in the toolset for the sake of experimentation.

I tried to copy paste your script but it still isn't working. I must be missing something in the conversation editor.

 

If it's something to do with the conversation, I'm afraid I can't help. Haven't got access to the NWN2 toolset, sorry.

 

Ok, well thanks anyway for trying to help Rotku. I appreciate it. I guess I will go try in the official NWN2 forums but I do prefer posting here.

 

Well I got it to work! I was using the script on the wrong node. I had placed the script on something my character said instead of putting it on node of the other character :duh: The person in the other forum also suggested that I just use the script that is already in the editor instead of the script generator for basic stuff like that.

Well now that I'm starting to figure out how this works then I might actually be able to create something interesting.

 

Gah! Sorry, I should have clicked on to that! Serves me right for not reading properly. Good to see you've got it fixed though

And yeah, from what I remember, NWN2 came with the ability to have a lot of things done without writting the scripts (like them been in the editor already like you said...), but I never quite got that part worked out before my computer committed suicide on me. I prefered just to keep it simple and use Lilac's script generator (or what ever it's called) and the Lexicon.
