Recruit script not working??

[Ferc Kast]

I was working on my recruit mod when the script to recruit my NPC didn't work; Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? (It did compile perfectly, it just didn't work in-game.)

 

void main()
{
  RemoveAvailableNPC(NPC_G0T0);
  AddAvailableNPCByTemplate(NPC_G0T0, "p_kast");
  DelayCommand(1.5,ShowPartySelectionGUI());
}

The second time it says, "NPC_G0T0" it should have a number; G0-T0's number is 3.

You did attach it to a dialog, right?

[Ferc Kast]

@Miles Edgeworth: I'll try it and see if that works.

@DarthJebus05: Yes; That's how I knew that the script wasn't working.

 

 

EDIT: I still can't get it to work.

In what way doesn't it work? Does it not do anything at all, or does the party member selection screen show but your new party member isn't available to choose on it?

 

The second time it says, "NPC_G0T0" it should have a number; G0-T0's number is 3.

 

NPC_G0T0 is an integer constant, it will be replaced with the value 3 automatically when the script is compiled. Thus it is correctly used in the script.

The party member selection screens shows, but my new party member isn't available to choose.

Does it just appear and have a block of solid colour where the portrait should be and your mouse icon is invisible?

 

This happened to me a while back, it was fixed after I made a portrait.

[Ferc Kast]

My original portraits are in-game (though not my most updated)...I'll check to see if I pointed my NPC to the right portrait line.

EDIT: Nope, I didn't even point my NPC to a portrait line...let alone the correct one.

 

 

Just for kicks: At the end of the script, I'm gonna add a ExecuteScript function to use a debug script that I found searching around the forum. That way, I can be sure that the script fired.

 

Hopefully, one of these two things should help correct it.

 

EDIT II: It didn't even fire the script for some reason.

Is the p_kast.utc file located in the module where the script is run, or in the game's override folder? Also try to spawn an NPC from this template to see that it isn't corrupted or something.

 

I can't see anything directly wrong with that script, so the problem likely lies elsewhere.

[Ferc Kast]

The spawn script seemed to spawn my NPC correctly.

 

Could it be that I originally added the NPC into the module via the GIT file? (Which too required the Tag and TemplateResRef field.) I think that may be what the problem is.

 

EDIT: The recruit script works perfectly now; Though, I can't tell what the difference is from before...Now, I just have to eliminate the twin.

 

EDIT II: I combined both scripts and it worked perfectly. So, that is all solved.

 

To rejoice in said solution, here is my pic from the party selection screen (with the outdated portrait):

 

EDIT III: I realized that the reason it didn't work before was that I didn't set the tag of my recruitable NPC to the NPC tag that I was going to replace.

[Ferc Kast]

I now need a script to check if G0-T0 is in the party. (Apparently, the game thought I had G0-T0 after I was done with the Red Eclipse fight; Therefore, it didn't let me continue the main quest.)

 

EDIT: Never mind; I searched the forum and found exactly what I needed.
