I need a script...

[Darth Xander]

Could somebody make me a script that spawns a custom npc right next to the pc? I made this but It will not work:

void main () {
location locNPC=Location(GetFirstPC);
object oNPC=GetObjectByTag(pc_jedi");} 

[Miles Edgeworth]

This should work:

 

CreateObject( OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE,
"pc_jedi", GetLocation(GetFirstPC()));

[Darth Xander]

This should work:

 

CreateObject( OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE,
"pc_jedi", GetLocation(GetFirstPC()));

That script won't work, It says something about a syntax error at CreateObject. By the way this is for TSL.

[Marius Fett]

Try putting a

void main ()

at the start of it, like this:

 

void main()

{

CreateObject( OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE,
"pc_jedi", GetLocation(GetFirstPC()));

}

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. DarthDingDong YOU ROCK!!!!

[Marius Fett]

Umm..... no problem...

[Darth Xander]

I have almost finished my W.I.P but could I have a script that makes an npc salute?

[Marius Fett]

I don't know how to do that, I SUCK at scripting........

[Darth Xander]

Also I need this npc I am making to act and react like a party member but he musn't be a party member. Basically all I want him to do is to be follow me around.

[glovemaster]

You could try:

void main()
{
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "pc_jedi", GetLocation(GetFirstPC()));
object PC_JEDI = GetObjectByTag("pc_jedi");
AssignCommand(PC_JEDI, ActionPlayAnimation(104, 1.0));
DelayCommand(5.0, AssignCommand(PC_JEDI, ActionForceFollowObject(GetFirstPC())));
}

This will only get the created NPC to salute and follow the lead player, if you want to script in combat then im thinking of a "OnHeartBeat" script to get whether or not you are in combat, who the target is and to attack that target.

[Darth Xander]

I used Dak Vesser's script to make him follow me

but I still need to make the guy salute.

You guys who helped me will be fully credited.

Doesn't a Sith salute in the game? If this is for a dialog file, just find the animation. What are you looking for exactly? Someone that salutes randomly? Dialog animations?

[Darth Xander]

I am after a script that makes the npc salute not an animation.

[Marius Fett]

The script would fire an animation...

[Darth Xander]

Ok last one, forget teh salute it was a lame idea anyway. I need a script that makes a placeable disappear once it closes. And by disapperar I mean like fading away not "pop out of existance".

Thank you guys for all your help I won't forget this.

 

Edit: I have finished this mod, thank you everyone who helped ans tried to help. You have all been fully credited and I will post a link soon.

[DarthJebus05]

Never posted the link... unless it's in another thread. Anyways, I just bought my TSL from Ebay tonight, so instant download when I get it

[Marius Fett]

I just got my new copy of TSL off Amazon.co.uk
