Well i dont think it works...

but it just might , just open the forces in a scripting program and you'll see it might take alot of workk or less .. i dunno

[Drog]

You can also make the forces repeatly over and over again , require some scripting tough

[Darth333]

You could apply a shield effect permanently, like ajunta pall in the tomb on Korriban. There is a red shield in the game. You would only need a simple script but right now i'm in the office so I can't give you all the details.

Exactly what i found when i was looking ... maybe darth_tomer you should do something like this .. im sure i would enjoy it aswell others.

Here's a script that should work, though I haven't tested it myself yet.

 

You could attach this to a dialog or make it into an armband if you were so inclined.

 

void main() {
/****************************************

shazam.nss:

 Strategy: first check to see if PC has
           an effect that is:
            1) Permananent
            2) Visual
            3) Supernatural subtype

           if so, then remove it
           if not, then add it

 by tk102   6-15-04
****************************************/

  object oPC=GetFirstPC();
  // check to see if effect is ON, if so turn it OFF   
  effect eCheck = GetFirstEffect(oPC);
  while (GetIsEffectValid(eCheck)) {
     if ( 
         (GetEffectDurationType(eCheck) ==DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT) &&
         (GetEffectType(eCheck)==EFFECT_TYPE_VISUAL) &&
         (GetEffectSubType(eCheck)==SUBTYPE_SUPERNATURAL)
        ) {
        RemoveEffect(oPC, eCheck);
        return;
     }
     eCheck=GetNextEffect(oPC);
   }    

   // not ON, so turn it ON
   effect eRedShield = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_SHIELD_RED_01);
   eRedShield = SupernaturalEffect(eRedShield);
   ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eRedShield, oPC);
   return;
}

[Darth333]

Thanks Tk Hmmm I sometimes wonder if you have Kotor with you at work...you certainly keep nwscript.nss not too far...

Thanks!

With this script, my character will be with red shield even if i move areas? and how can i make this script into an armband?

Go to Create Custom Item by t7nowhere and then add the script into the uti file or make the script and then relate it to the armband..(gauntlet) NP..

[tk102]

Actually, for an example of using an armband, take a look at the Darkside Choker mod on pcgm. Basically, it requires an entry into spells.2da and then in the .uti that you will create, under PropertiesList, make sure there exists the struct with the following parameters:

 

ChanceAppear: 100

Parm1: 255

Parm1Value: 0

PropertyName: 10

Subtype: <-- the entry into spells.2da

 

In spells.2da make sure your impactscript field is the name of the script you want to fire (shazam).

 

And obviously all these go into your override (shazam.ncs, spells.2da, and the uti).

[tk102]

Checked the script and it seems to work fine.

[Darth_ToMeR]

Thank you!!! I want it on character i want to recruit. If it will be good, i'll release it. Thanks one more time.

Why don't you add this to the recruit script?

or just attach it to a convo

If it's your recruit that you want to be red, you'll have to replace oPC by the tag of the npc in the script and GetFirstPC() by GetObjectByTag("my_npc");

"GetFirstPC()" is appear just one time. do i need to do something with all the "oPC" ?

[tk102]

Something like this, Darth Tomer:

void main() {
/****************************************

npc_shazam.nss:

 Turn on a peramanent visual effect 
 during recruitment of an NPC

 by tk102   6-15-04
****************************************/

   object oNPC=GetObjectByTag("npc_tag_goes_here");
   effect eRedShield = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_SHIELD_RED_01);
   eRedShield = SupernaturalEffect(eRedShield);
  ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eRedShield, oNPC);
   return;
}

 

I believe there are points in the game (like when you put on a disguise (Sith, Sandperson) and then take it off that a script fires which removes all visual effects. You may need to compensate for that somehow.

 

 

Also, I think this would be a cool armband to have, similar to Holowan Cloakworks where you can turn on multiple effects... I'll construct one after KSE v2 gets released.

   ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eRedShield, oNPC);
   return;
}

 

The supernatural portion isn't necessary for just turning the effect 'ON'.

Do i need just this part of the script?

And what can i do if the shield will stop?

[tk102]

Do i need just this part of the script?

Yes, the above is a different script in and of itself.

And what can i do if the shield will stop?

You'll have to fire the script again somehow. I'd suggest using a custom OnSpawn script to make sure the effect is on. The OnSpawn script fires each time you enter a new area.

 

Of course you can fire the script anyway you like -- trigger, armband, force power, dialog, etc. OnSpawn just seems to be the most natural way.

 

Now your next question I anticipate: how? It's pretty easy:

 

1. In Kotor Tool

BIFs
-> scripts.bif
 -> Source
   -> k_def_spawn01.nss  (extract this)

2. Look for this line in the code

   //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_EVENT_ON_DIALOGUE_END);     

And after it add the following:

  effect eCheck = GetFirstEffect(OBJECT_SELF);
  int nEffectIsOn=0;
  while (GetIsEffectValid(eCheck)) {
     if ( 
         (GetEffectDurationType(eCheck) ==DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT) &&
         (GetEffectType(eCheck)==EFFECT_TYPE_VISUAL) &&
         (GetEffectSubType(eCheck)==SUBTYPE_SUPERNATURAL)
        ) {
        nEffectIsOn=1;
     }
     eCheck=GetNextEffect(OBJECT_SELF);
   }
   if (nEffectIsOn==0) {
       ExecuteScript("npc_shazam",OBJECT_SELF);
   }

 

Then save this script with a unique name, compile it, and put it in your override. Your .utc should then have its OnSpawn field set your new script.

 

Also, in this case, you'll need the supernatural flag set in npc_shazam.nss.

[Darth_ToMeR]

It's not compile it. it says "Error: Undeclared identifier "oPC"

Error: requierd arguement missing in call to "GetNextEffect"

[tk102]

I'm sorry Darth Tomer. I've edited the above script, and it should work this time. (oPC should've been OBJECT_SELF).

[Darth_ToMeR]

It's still doesn't compile it. Can you please give me all the code?

(The two parts together). maybe i made a mistake with the copy past...

[tk102]

Okay you asked for it. It compiles for me. (Watch the line breaks.)
