Invisible console = invisible whereami cheat

[Darth333]

****[censored]*****!!!!!!

 

Area making and spawning npcs/placeables will be a nightmare...unless someone finds a hidden feature somewhere

 

otherwise we'll have to use the .git files and guess approximate values...

:explode:

... or unless someone helps create map backgrounds

[Darth Stryke]

Don't fret, I am sure that we will find a way to make it like KOTOR....i hope.....*sniff*

[RedHawke]

I don't know if we can do anything about this, unless we can add an in game option in the .ini file with an entry like "EnableCheatConsole=1" or something like that we are sunk!

 

BTW: I allready tried that one... no go!

 

Edit I just had a thought... is it possible to make an Armband that fires a script that would output the current module coordinates or the whereami cheat to an external .txt file or the in game feedback section, if this is possible this could save our module editing behinds.

 

Still grumbling at OE, WTH were you people smoking???

[Pontifice]

In another thread some one said somethin about a method to print debugging messages maybe it could help

 

Or maybe with a dialog and the settoken ( i don't know the correct name ) function

 

P.D. obviously for all is needed an armband or similar item

 

Edited

 

How bout

 

void main() {

 

PrintVector(GetPosition(GetFirstPC()),TRUE);

}

 

It will print the position in the logfile if it does what comments said in nwnscript

 

// 141: Output vVector to the logfile.

// - vVector

// - bPrepend: if this is TRUE, the message will be prefixed with "PRINTVECTOR:"

void PrintVector(vector vVector, int bPrepend);

I already tried that before posting I have the armband in game, I can activate it but so far the only thing I get is: "BlaBla uses Whereami armband" in the ingame feedback.

 

Apart that, I have not been able to get it print to an external .log file

From the sounds of it I take it that whereami does not work? Are all of the cheats disabled?

 

Darth333, try using this script for your armband:

 

vector WhereAmI = GetPosition(object_self);

string x-coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.x);
string y-coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.y);
string z-coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.z);
string PlayerPosition = x-coordinate + ", " y-coordinate + ", " + z-coordinate;

SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), PlayerPosition);

 

Hope that works

The cheats are not disabled, they work but the console is invisible and and you have to type blindly...thing is the coordinates are also invisible

vector WhereAmI = GetPosition(object_self);

string x-coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.x);
string y-coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.y);
string z-coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.z);
string PlayerPosition = x-coordinate + ", " y-coordinate + ", " + z-coordinate;

SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), PlayerPosition);

 

Thanks but it didn't worked didn't work I tried a few variants but I always get compilation errors. I'll try to play a little more with the FloatToString function.

Sorry about that, my scripting is a little rusty. The engine does not like a "-" in the variable name. The following code works, but the output could be formatted better.

 

main ()
{
vector WhereAmI = GetPosition(OBJECT_SELF);


string X_Coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.x, 5, 5);
string Y_Coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.y, 5, 5);
string Z_Coordinate = FloatToString(WhereAmI.z, 5, 5);



string PlayerPosition = GetName(OBJECT_SELF) + ": " + X_Coordinate + ", " + Y_Coordinate + ", " + Z_Coordinate;

SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), PlayerPosition);
}

So that's how you can decompose the positions... cool. Thanks!

[Darth333]

Got it! Thanks!

 

I figured out for the "-" but why I wasn't able to get it yesterday was because I forgot to put the script that initiates the conversation with the armband in the Override folder :headbump
