Some script questions

[Exile007]

Ok, in the mod the PC will need to use a forcepower on a npc while still in the dialog. I scripted a force power set the damage and yeah it fires fine, but the npc isn't effected at all, here is the script.

 

 

Code:

 

void main()

{

object oSource = OBJECT_SELF;

object oTarget = GetSpellTargetObject();

 

effect eBeam = EffectBeam(2026, oSource, 3);

effect eVFX = EffectVisualEffect(1014);

effect eSource = EffectVisualEffect(1014);

effect eDamage = EffectDamage(1000000);

 

ApplyEffectToObject(1, eBeam, oTarget, 5.0f);

ApplyEffectToObject(1, eVFX, oTarget, 8.0f);

ApplyEffectToObject(1, eSource, oSource, 2.0f);

 

}

 

 

 

 

Did I do anything wrong?

You are not applying the damage effect, just the beam and visual ones.

 

 

(If this is only meant to be used once automatically during dialog you could just script the whole thing entirely in a dialog action script so you won't have to add it as a real force power.)

Well I'm not a script genius, but isn't the 1000000 the damage? I just did that in script generator. So can you give me an example of what damage effect would look like?

[Qui-Gon Glenn]

effect eBeam = EffectBeam(2026, oSource, 3);

effect eVFX = EffectVisualEffect(1014);

effect eSource = EffectVisualEffect(1014);

effect eDamage = EffectDamage(1000000);

 

ApplyEffectToObject(1, eBeam, oTarget, 5.0f);

ApplyEffectToObject(1, eVFX, oTarget, 8.0f);

ApplyEffectToObject(1, eSource, oSource, 2.0f);

 

Notice that the first list is one item longer than the second? You declared the action for eDamage, but you never called it into effect.

 

I think that is what Master Stoffe was referring to.

So how do I apply the effect?

As qui_gon_glenn said, you just forgot to apply the effect, try this;

void main()
{
object oSource = OBJECT_SELF;
object oTarget = GetSpellTargetObject();

effect eBeam = EffectBeam(2026, oSource, 3);
effect eVFX = EffectVisualEffect(1014);
effect eSource = EffectVisualEffect(1014);
effect eDamage = EffectDamage(1000000);

ApplyEffectToObject(1, eBeam, oTarget, 5.0f);
ApplyEffectToObject(1, eVFX, oTarget, 8.0f);
ApplyEffectToObject(1, eSource, oSource, 2.0f);
ApplyEffectToObject(1, eDamage, oTarget, 2.0f);

}

Kind Regards

Ok, I got the effect working, but now no damage is being done. But I found and alternative solution, so thanks anyway.
