[K1] Help with a script

[sekan]

Hi,

 

I have made a dialog and have put this script to activate a quest that's in another module.

void main() {
SetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator", 1);


}

 

In the other module i attached this script to a .utc heartbeat

 

void main() {  object oEntering = 
 GetEnteringObject();
 object oPC=GetFirstPC();
 if (GetIsPC(oEntering) && !(GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator")  == 1) && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40))

     {
       vector vPos;
       float fAngle;

       vPos.x = 106.24; 
       vPos.y = 238.01; 
       vPos.z = 17.15;
       fAngle = 0.0; 
               CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "jedimaster", Location(vPos, fAngle));
       vPos.x = 108.96; 
       vPos.y = 232.28; 
       vPos.z = 16.23;
       fAngle = 0.0; 
               CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_leader", Location(vPos, fAngle));

       vPos.x = 108.61; 
       vPos.y = 229.49; 
       vPos.z = 15.98;
       fAngle = 0.0; 
               CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_01", Location(vPos, fAngle));
       vPos.x = 111.47; 
       vPos.y = 231.36; 
       vPos.z = 15.92;
       fAngle = 0.0; 
               CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_02", Location(vPos, fAngle));
       vPos.x = 111.50; 
       vPos.y = 226.28; 
       vPos.z = 15.29;
       fAngle = 0.0; 
               CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_03", Location(vPos, fAngle));

       vPos.x = 112.68; 
       vPos.y = 228.28; 
       vPos.z = 15.44;
       fAngle = 0.0; 

              CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "czerka_04", Location(vPos, fAngle));
       vPos.x = 112.71; 
       vPos.y = 226.93; 
       vPos.z = 15.19;
       fAngle = 0.0; 
               CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "wookie_01", Location(vPos, fAngle));
       vPos.x = 110.60; 
       vPos.y = 228.49; 
       vPos.z = 15.64;
       fAngle = 0.0; 
               CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "wookie_02", Location(vPos, fAngle));

       vPos.x = 111.53; 
       vPos.y = 229.04; 
       vPos.z = 15.63;
       fAngle = 0.0;
               CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "lrwooli", Location(vPos, fAngle));




            SetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40, TRUE);
    }

} 

 

After i have talked thought the dialog and activated the first script i go to that module that uses the second script. But nobody spawns. I hope somebody can help me with this.

 

Thanks and take care

The problem must be here :

 

if (GetIsPC(oEntering) && [color=red][b]![/b][/color]GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator")  && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40))

 

This script will fire only if the Global number is not set (because of the !). I believe you want the opposite.

I guess you mean that the script should look like:

if  (GetIsPC(oEntering) && (GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator") == 1) &&  (GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40)))

 

Well i tried this in my script and it still doesn't work.

In the other module i attached this script to a .utc heartbeat

 

object oEntering = [b]GetEnteringObject()[/b];
 if (GetIsPC(oEntering) && !(GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator")  == 1) && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40))

 

The problem is most likely your use of the GetEnteringObject() function in a OnHeartbeat event script. This function will only return a valid object reference in OnEnter event scripts (for areas, triggers etc). Thus you are essentially checking if (GetIsPC(OBJECT_INVALID) ..., which never returns true.

 

Also, in your changed script above you'd need to put the negation back in front of GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40) in the if-statement since you want it to fire if it hasn't been done before; you set Local Boolean 40 when the code within the if-block has been run.

Thanks Stoffe

 

Now i only have one problem left...

 

When trying to compile this new script i get Error: Syntax error at &&

 

if (GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator")  == 1) && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40) 

 

I can't see any problem on this line at all.

 

Thanks and take care

I can

 

You haven't wrapped the condition parameters of the if statement within parenthesises, which is required in NWScript:

 

if ((GetGlobalNumber("Tar_VulkarElevator")  == 1) && !GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40))

Thanks everything works now
