Help on ebon hawk's map

[randydg]

I need help on the ebon hawk's map,

what i need done is the following:

 

1. always have corrisant as a destination (after leaving 949cor & 951cor for the first time.

 

2. Have the planet korriban availble after talking to the council on

951cor the council gives you "orders.uti" maybe attaching the planet viewable to if you have the object?

 

3.Having Planet Duxan available after talking to hk60 on korriban

hk60 gives you "droidorders.uti" maybe attaching the planet viewable to if you have the object?

 

thats all for now, untill i come up with more planets this should do me.

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

I believe this makes the planet available when an item is possessed:

#include "k_inc_debug"    // I'm just including these by default now 
#include "k_inc_utility"

void main()
{
   object oPC = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "/*Item ResRef*/");

   if (oPC = GetFirstPC())
   {
       SetPlanetAvailable(/*planet number*/, TRUE);    
       SetPlanetSelectable(/*planet number*/, TRUE);
   }
   else
   {
       SetPlanetAvailable(/*planet number*/, FALSE);
       SetPlanetSelectable(/*planet number*/, FALSE);
   }
}

[randydg]

thanks! i'll get to work on these things tonight,

yalls help has gotten rid of multiple ebon hawks.

 

i had 6 ebon hawks now i just need 3. wee

[randydg]

How do i tie the map to the ebo exit? i want it to show the group window then exit out the planet i selected on the map.

[randydg]

What if my planets are new and redone and don't have a planet_name asigned to it how do i do it then?? and also as above how do i tie it to the exit?

 

 

 

#include "k_inc_debug"

#include "k_inc_utility"

void main()

{

oject oPC = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders");

if (oPC = GetFirstPC())

{

SetPlanetAvailable(planet_, TRUE);

SetPlanetSelectable(planet_, TRUE);

}

oject oPC = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "datapad1");

if (oPC = GetFirstPC())

{

SetPlanetAvailable(planet_, TRUE);

SetPlanetSelectable(planet_, TRUE);

else

{

SetPlanetAvailable(planet_, FALSE);

SetPlanetSelectable(planet_, FALSE);

}

}

The number you use in above mentioned scripting functions to toggle the availability of travel destinations on the galaxy map corresponds to the row label in the planetary.2da file.

 

As for the exit, the game set a global var in the galaxy map script when you travel to a destination. The Ebon Hawk Exit trigger then checks this variable to see what your current location is, and loads the proper module to reflect this when you exit.

The number you use in above mentioned scripting functions to toggle the availability of travel destinations on the galaxy map corresponds to the row label in the planetary.2da file.

 

So, i would have to edit the planetary.2da file to goto the planet i want it to goto? then throw the edited planetary.2da into the override folder?

 

**edit**

in the planetary.2da i don't see a destination that i can change, how does it know to go to the new planet?

It doesn't. The galaxy map does not keep track of the actual modules to use, it only keeps track of galaxy map representations for those locations and and allows/denies "travel" between them.

 

It's the exit script of the Ebon Hawk that loads the actual module. The galaxy map sets a global number labeled 003EBO_RETURN_DEST whenever you change destinations. The Hawk exit script then checks this var and loads the appropriate module depending on its value when you leave the ship.

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

I think to declare an entirely different planet, you'd either have to switch the modules that the game loads for each planet by default, or edit nwscript.nss, and change the planet integers, for instance:

int PLANET_TATOOINE = 0

and so forth for all the planets, then drop *nwscript.nss* into the Override, but your best bet may be within another file (I'm not sure which one though, I don't have TSL installed). Next, to tie the script into the Ebon Hawk's loading ramp, I'd add this script to trigger when the PC exits or enters:

#include "k_inc_debug"
#include "k_inc_utility"

void main()
{
   object oEntering = GetEnteringObject()
   object oExiting = GetExitingObject();
   object oPC = GetFirstPC();

   if (oEntering = oPC)
   {
       ExectuteScript("/*script name*/", OBJECT_SELF);
   }
   else if (oExiting = oPC)
   {
       ExecuteScript("/*script name*/", OBJECT_SELF);
   }
   else
   {
       return;
   }
}

 

***edit***

Just ignore my advice on nwscript.nss

[randydg]

This whole map thing is very complicated, wish there was a way to make it much less complicated.

 

 

#include "k_inc_debug"
#include "k_inc_utility"
void main()
{
oject oPC = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders");
if (oPC = GetFirstPC())
{ 
SetPlanetAvailable(planet_, TRUE); 
SetPlanetSelectable(planet_, TRUE);
PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 1);
}
oject oPC = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "datapad1");
if (oPC = GetFirstPC())
{ 
SetPlanetAvailable(planet_, TRUE); 
SetPlanetSelectable(planet_, TRUE);
PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 2);
}
else 
{ 
SetPlanetAvailable(planet_, FALSE); 
SetPlanetSelectable(planet_, FALSE);


when compileing it gives the following error:

The problem is that you define oPC two times:

void main()
{
oject oPC = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders");
if (oPC = GetFirstPC())
...

 

oPC cannot be the "item possesed by the PC" and the PC itself at the same time.

 

Use

object oItem=GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders");

per example.

 

edit: in fact it's defined more than 2 times and object misses a "b" plus oPC doesn't do anything.:

 

try:

#include "k_inc_debug"
#include "k_inc_utility"
void main()
{
object oItem= GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders");
object oItem1 = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "datapad1");

I included syntax fixes in the comments

[randydg]

Ok, compiled fine, but when i go in the game & click on the galaxy map it does nuthing, just sits there, i can click on it a bunch of times and nuthing.

[randydg]

any clue why its not working?

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

Did you change any map scripts? Maybe the scripts that trigger movies didn't fire, try going outside of the Ebon Hawk.

[randydg]

no, didn't change anything just complied it and put it in the invisible002 galaxymap.

 

when i click on the galaxy map it doesn't open the map, not the planets. when i click on the object galaxy map it doesn't do anything.

 

tried exiting once, but i can try it again.

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

Ahhh, that happens to me sometimes after I run the game's .exe for a while, try re-starting the game, then selecting it.

[randydg]

nope, still not working, i tried it a few times, once before i had the object and once after. all it will let me do is click on the object "galaxy map" but won't actualy open the map up.

[randydg]

here is how i have it...

 

 

in 003ebo.git

 

placeable: =invisible001

 

invisible001 properties:

 

name:Galaxy map

tag: galaxymap2

aperance invisible

only plot item is checked

 

advanced tab:

templete resref: invisible001

faction: 1

animation state: 2

type: 0

checked is: party interact & usable

 

scripts:

onused:galaxymap

 

then galaxymap.ncs is the one you gave me.

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

scripts:

onused:galaxymap

Bingo! Try this:

 

#include "k_inc_debug" 
#include "k_inc_utility" 

void main() // put this on a new line
{ 
object oItem= GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders"); 
object oItem1 = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "datapad1"); 

if (GetIsObjectValid(oItem))     // don't put a space between "GetIsObjectValid" and (oItem)*
{ 
	SetPlanetAvailable(6 , TRUE);    // use an integer instead (so that it compiles right**
	SetPlanetSelectable(6 , TRUE);   // **here too 
	PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 1); 
} 
else if (GetIsObjectValid(oItem1))    // *here too
{ 
	SetPlanetAvailable(7 , TRUE);       // ** and here
	SetPlanetSelectable(7 , TRUE);      // ** and here too
	PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 2); 
} 
else
{ 
	SetPlanetAvailable(7, FALSE);     // **
	SetPlanetSelectable(7, FALSE);    // **
	SetPlanetAvailable(4, FALSE);     // **
	SetPlanetSelectable(4, FALSE);    // **
}    // don't forget the end bracket for the 'else' scope

   ShowGalaxyMap(1);         // Try this, it shows the map

}    // don't forget the end braket for the main scope either

That should be the 'OnClick' script

[randydg]

Ok, so that gets the galaxymap working, is there anway to tie the exit to the map?

 

here is my current exit script:

void main(){
SetGlobalFadeOut(); 
SetSoloMode(FALSE); 
SetPartyLeader(NPC_PLAYER);
DelayCommand(0.4,ShowPartySelectionGUI()); 
StartNewModule("planet");
} 

[randydg]

ok, the galaxymap still isn't working, when i click on it it brings up an empty map, when i go get the "orders" and come back it brings up the wrong planet.

 

orders=korriban

datapad1=duxon

 

#include "k_inc_debug" 
#include "k_inc_utility" 
void main() // put this on a new line 
{ 
object oItem= GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders"); 
object oItem1 = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "datapad1"); 
if (GetIsObjectValid(oItem)) // don't put a space between "GetIsObjectValid" and (oItem)* 
{ 
SetPlanetAvailable(7 , TRUE); // use an integer instead (so that it compiles right** 
SetPlanetSelectable(7 , TRUE); // **here too 
PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 1);
}
else if (GetIsObjectValid(oItem1)) // *here too 
{
SetPlanetAvailable(4 , TRUE); // ** and here 
SetPlanetSelectable(4 , TRUE); // ** and here too 
PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 2); 
} 
else 
{
SetPlanetAvailable(3, TRUE); // **
SetPlanetSelectable(3, TRUE); // ** 
SetPlanetAvailable(4, FALSE); // ** 
SetPlanetSelectable(4, FALSE); // ** 
SetPlanetAvailable(1, FALSE); // ** 
SetPlanetSelectable(1, FALSE); // ** 
} // don't forget the end bracket for the 'else' scope 
ShowGalaxyMap(1); // Try this, it shows the map 
} // don't forget the end braket for the main scope either

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

Check the integers for the script, it should be something along the lines of:

int PLANET_KORRIBAN = 7;       // the 7 should be the planet integer after the first 'if' statement
int PLANET_DXUN = 4;              // the 4 should be the integer after the 'else if' statement'

/*
------------------------------------------------------
For instance, if it's 'SetPlanetAvailable(7, TRUE)', then 7 should
be the planet in question.
------------------------------------------------------
*/

I hope that answers the first part of your question. Now the next part. If that script is your current 'OnClick' script, you may have to set each planet's availability, so try this:

 

#include "k_inc_debug" 
#include "k_inc_utility" 

void main() // put this on a new line
{ 
object oItem= GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders"); 
object oItem1 = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "datapad1"); 

if (GetIsObjectValid(oItem))     // don't put a space between "GetIsObjectValid" and (oItem)*
{ 
	SetPlanetAvailable(6 , TRUE);    // use an integer instead (so that it compiles right**
	SetPlanetSelectable(6 , TRUE);   // **here too 
	PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 1); 
} 
else if (GetIsObjectValid(oItem1))    // *here too
{ 
	SetPlanetAvailable(7 , TRUE);       // ** and here
	SetPlanetSelectable(7 , TRUE);      // ** and here too
	PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 2); 
} 
else
{ 
	SetPlanetAvailable(7, FALSE);     // **
	SetPlanetSelectable(7, FALSE);    // **
	SetPlanetAvailable(4, FALSE);     // **
	SetPlanetSelectable(4, FALSE);    // **
}    // don't forget the end bracket for the 'else' scope

/*
----------------------------------------
Now set each planet's availability and 
selectability...
----------------------------------------
*/

SetPlanetAvailable(/*planet integer*/, TRUE);    // Repeat for ell planets that haven't already been set as available
SetPlanetSelectable(/*planet integer*/, TRUE);   // Repeat for all planets that haven't already been set as selectable

       ShowGalaxyMap(1);         // Try this, it shows the map

}    // don't forget the end braket for the main scope either

I hope that answers both parts of your questions

[randydg]

so i put both of those together? like this:

 

#include "k_inc_debug"

#include "k_inc_utility"

 

void main() // put this on a new line

int PLANET_KORRIBAN = 7; // the 7 should be the planet integer after the first 'if' statement

int PLANET_DXUN = 4; // the 4 should be the integer after the 'else if' statement'

 

/*

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

For instance, if it's 'SetPlanetAvailable(7, TRUE)', then 7 should

be the planet in question.

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

*/

 

{

object oItem= GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "orders");

object oItem1 = GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "datapad1");

 

if (GetIsObjectValid(oItem)) // don't put a space between "GetIsObjectValid" and (oItem)*

{

SetPlanetAvailable(6 , TRUE); // use an integer instead (so that it compiles right**

SetPlanetSelectable(6 , TRUE); // **here too

PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 1);

}

else if (GetIsObjectValid(oItem1)) // *here too

{

SetPlanetAvailable(7 , TRUE); // ** and here

SetPlanetSelectable(7 , TRUE); // ** and here too

PlayRoomAnimation("003EBOq", 2);

}

else

{

SetPlanetAvailable(7, FALSE); // **

SetPlanetSelectable(7, FALSE); // **

SetPlanetAvailable(4, FALSE); // **

SetPlanetSelectable(4, FALSE); // **

} // don't forget the end bracket for the 'else' scope
