Just a small #include script, that I whipped up creating these two functions.

 

void FPM_FollowLeader();

void FPM_Debug();

 

Here’s a description.

FPM_FollowLeader: You can use this const function if you want the creature to follow the current party leader. Unlike “void ActionMoveToObject()”, This one will make a much smoother, less jittery movement. Using this new function, the creature can now walk, if close enough, run if too far, and back away if too close also will turn to follow whoever was switched to take lead.

 

FPM_Debug; When adding this function along with FPM_FollowLeader(), It’ll send messages to the pc, reporting the current movement changes, plus the distances, and time. It’ll also send a barkString, showing the reports right in the game. However, you’ll need to type <CUSTOM210> in four StrRef slots in your dialog.tlk: 10865, 10866, 10867, and 10868. Otherwise you’ll see a blank barkstring repeating over again. I used this function for adjusting distances and changes.

Use these functions in your creature's main HeartBeat script. Make sure to add #include "k_inc_fpm" in it so your compiler won't error....

 

{Edited} Do not use these functions on a party member, or a creature that you're going to add to the party table.

 

{Tip} It's better to add these functions to a modified "k_hen_heartbt", not a "k_def_heartbt" script, since the intention is to make a creature "act" like a party member, or somewhat...

 

hope you guys enjoy this...

Here's an example of how these new const functions would be applied to a modified henchmen heart beat script:

 

[size=1]#include "k_inc_generic"
#include "k_inc_switch"
#include "k_inc_utility"
[color=#FFFF33]#include "k_inc_fpm"[/color]

void main()
{
           object oEnemy = GetNearestCreature(CREATURE_TYPE_PERCEPTION, PERCEPTION_SEEN, 
                           OBJECT_SELF, 1, CREATURE_TYPE_REPUTATION, REPUTATION_TYPE_ENEMY);

           if(!GN_GetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_AI_OFF) && !GetSoloMode())
             {
             if(GetPartyMemberByIndex(0) != OBJECT_SELF)
               {
               if(GetCurrentAction(OBJECT_SELF) != ACTION_WAIT  &&
                  !GetIsConversationActive() &&
                  !GN_GetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_SPECTATOR_STATE) &&
                   GetCommandable())
                 {
               if(!GN_GetIsFighting(OBJECT_SELF) && !GetIsObjectValid(oEnemy))

                  ClearAllActions();
                  [color=#FFFF33]FPM_FollowLeader();
                  FPM_Debug();[/color] 
                 }
               }
             }
           else if(GetSoloMode() && GetCurrentAction(OBJECT_SELF) == ACTION_FOLLOWLEADER)
           {
               ClearAllActions();
           }
           if(GN_GetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_EVENT_ON_HEARTBEAT))
           {
               SignalEvent(OBJECT_SELF, EventUserDefined(1001));
           }


}[/size]

 

Very simple as we can see.. :)

 

Thanx ChAiNz, for adding this to the tutorial section..
