Adding to a Party Member's sidequest question

[MasterWaffle]

If I want a script to fire only if someone has reached a certain point in a party member's sidequest (or the end of that sidequest), what should I do? Say (for example) I want Dustil to reappear in a certain place only after Carth's sidequest is completed. What would it involve?

Well, what I would do is make a simple spawn script and attach it to one of the last dialog options in Dustil's last dialog.

Would that work to spawn someone on a completely different planet, awhile after the fact? I have an on entry script already prepared (that works), but would like it to fire only if Mission's sidequest has been completed.

You could use this script as the on enter and then in both execute scripts enter the old one;

void main() {

if ((GetJournalEntry("BlahBlah")==##))
   {

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "NPC_TAG", Location(Vector(-75.87156, -26.69725, 0.00000), 0.0));
ExecuteScript("RenamedOnEnter", OBJECT_SELF, 1002);    

   }
else {

ExecuteScript("RenamedOnEnter", OBJECT_SELF, 1002);    
}
}

Or you could just merge that into the existing on enter dpeneding on which is easiest for you.

So, how would I merge it into this script?

 

void main()
{

    object oEntering = GetEnteringObject();
    object oPC=GetFirstPC();

    if (GetIsPC(oEntering))
    {

         if (!GetIsObjectValid(GetObjectByTag("man26_griff_03")))
         {
              ExecuteScript("mangriff_26", OBJECT_SELF);
         }     
    }

    ExecuteScript("k_pman_26a_area2", OBJECT_SELF);
}

 

I want to make sure the NPC only spawns once. Would I just add the "if ((GetJournalEntry("BlahBlah")==##))" in front of the "if (!GetIsObjectValid(GetObjectByTag("man26_griff_03")))" script?

 

ETA: Oh, so I could put two different scripts depending on what I want to happen? So if I want the NPC to spawn only after a certain point I could put it after the journal entry script, and if that hasn't happened I could just put the script that fires after my edited on entry script?

 

Well that sentence doesn't make sense.

 

Example of what I'm talking about:

 

void main() {

if ((GetJournalEntry("k_missbroth")==TRUE))
   {

ExecuteScript("k_pman_26a_area", OBJECT_SELF, 1002);    

   }
else {

ExecuteScript("k_pman_26a_area2", OBJECT_SELF, 1002);    
}
}

 

Would that work?

[Stream]

Yeah that should work, it would be best if you then changed the journal entry to a different state if possible so it would fire again.

What do you mean by different state?
