How to create a Smith?

How to make a custom NPC Smith to craft weapons with a forge? And to enhance weapons/armors with magical attributes? Like the smith in the Underdark {HOTU} ? I putted down NPC with high crafting skills, put down a forge and an anvil,but now

 

The script type needed is CutApplyEffectToObject. To explain:

object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();
effect eEffect = <effect here - look at Constants in the script editor>;
object oItem = GetRightHandWeapon(oPC);
CutApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eEffect, oItem);

I think that will work, but I'm not really sure. I trawled that out of the script used in HotU, and that confused me.

The NPC having a high Craft Weapon skill is not needed, as it's all done through a script. The anvil isn't needed either, but it does help to set the scene.

 

Cool script Alavin, let's try it!

edit: I tryed this but it wont compile

void main()
{
object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();
effect eEffect = EFFECT_TYPE_HASTE;
object oItem = GetRightHandWeapon(oPC);
CutApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eEffect, oItem);
}


Error. 'itemenchant' did not compile.
itemenchant.nss(5): ERROR: PARSING VARIABLE LIST

I thought that may happen. In the script, under Functions, GetRightHandWeapon was in bold type, which means that its use is limited to certain fields. As this script was used in a conversation, and therefore uses only standard script types, I don't think this could work. CutApplyEffectToObject was also in bold.

You could try exporting the script directly from HotU, and seeing if it will work like that.

 

True i noticed it looking to the script editor,but I've found this uinder Functions:
------------------------------------------------

// Get the object which is in oCreature's specified inventory slot
// - nInventorySlot: INVENTORY_SLOT_*
// - oCreature
// * Returns OBJECT_INVALID if oCreature is not a valid creature or there is no
// item in nInventorySlot.
object GetItemInSlot(int nInventorySlot, object oCreature=OBJECT_SELF)

-------------------------------------------------

Maybe there is a way to sobstitute GetRightHandWeapon(oPC); with that one... don't know really

 

Yes, that would work.

object oItem = GetItemInSlot(INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTHAND, OBJECT_SELF);

However, there's still no CutApplyEffectToObject script, so it's undoable as far as I can see. However, you may want to ask on the Bioware boards, where the more advanced scripters can help you.
