Use of force choke on non hostile npcs

They are listed in nwscript.nss. There are a bunch of constants defined at the first part of the file.

 

In this case, the script only calls for visual effects and animations without doing any damage. If you want to kill, you have to add a damage effect to it.

hey, where do you find the animation lists?

 

i looked in animation.2da, but didn't find anything similar to what you posted: FORCE_POWER_CHOKE, or ANIMATION_LOOPING_CHOKE.

 

so how would you find animations like lightning, drain life, etc.?

 

also, i'm not sure if this is a given, but when you execute the script, does it automatically kill the target, or do you have to call a kill command?

 

i was trying to do two things:

1. get my character to lightsaber someone during a convo, killing them.

2. get my character to use force lightning or drain life or both on one or two characters, killing them.

okay darth, i have a few small requests that i hope you could do for me.

 

i'd do them myself but my computer just doesn't function right with the .ncs complier.

 

could you please create two new types of effects for scripts? i'd like to see one using the FORCE_POWER_LIGHTNING, and one using FORCE_POWER_DRAIN_LIFE.

 

also, if you can, it'd be cool for these to do some massive damage (i.e., you're able to kill people when you select these in coversations.)

 

i'd really just need the compiled scripts, i can do all the dialog editing myself, to save you work.

 

much thanks.

OK. I'm far from being an expert with this (i had a lot of help from Gameunlimited) but I've 'played' with similar scripts since then and I should be able to do this. However, i don't know if i'll have time to do it before the weekend since i expect to be working late every day this week.

 

BTW, what do you use for dialogue editing? I'm having serious problems with my GFF editor. See thisthread . Any help/tips would be appreciated.

By the way, you sort of use your lightsbaer when killing the man in the Whimpering Locker at the Manaan Hrakert Station, the lightsaber doesn't activate or anything, it just turns the screen to black and next moment, Republic Soldier dead on floor.

 

You should check out what they did, it might help.
