[K1] Script problem

[sekan]

Hello,

 

I have added a new force power that freeze an enemy for 25 seconds. But during that progress the hostile shall become neutral so you can't attack him\her during the freezing. Then I want the enemy to return to the faction he\she had before.

 

The freezing works fine but turning npc to neutral doesn't work for some reason.

 

Here is the script:

 

#include "k_inc_force" 

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

ActionDoCommand(SetCommandable(TRUE,oFollower));
int nFaction = GetStandardFaction(oFollower);
ChangeToStandardFaction((oFollower), 5);


effect eFreeze = EffectSleep();

 eFreeze = EffectLinkEffects(eFreeze, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_HOLD));
    eFreeze = SetEffectIcon(eFreeze, 15);    

   ApplyEffectToObject((DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT), eFreeze, oFollower);

DelayCommand(25.0, AssignCommand(oFollower, ClearAllEffects()));
                        ChangeToStandardFaction(oFollower, nFaction);


AssignCommand (oFollower,ActionAttack( oSource));
ActionDoCommand(SetCommandable(FALSE,oFollower));

}

Why is my npcs not becoming neutral?

 

Thanks and take care

Your NPC is actually becoming neutral but only for the duration of the script as your line:

ChangeToStandardFaction(oFollower, nFaction);

is not delayed and therefore the NPC is changed to Neutral and then back to hostile.

 

Here is a more cleaned up script:

void GM_SwitchFaction(float Delay, object NPC, int Faction)
{
int nFaction = GetStandardFaction(NPC);
ChangeToStandardFaction(oFollower, Faction);

DelayCommand(Delay, AssignCommand(NPC, ClearAllEffects()));
DelayCommand(Delay, ChangeToStandardFaction(NPC, nFaction));
DelayCommand(Delay, AssignCommand(NPC, ActionAttack(oSource)));
DelayCommand(Delay, ActionDoCommand(SetCommandable(FALSE, NPC)));
}

void main()
{
object oFollower = GetSpellTargetObject();
object oSource = OBJECT_SELF; 
effect eFreeze = EffectSleep();
		eFreeze = EffectLinkEffects(eFreeze, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_HOLD));
		eFreeze = SetEffectIcon(eFreeze, 15);

GM_SwitchFaction(25.0, oFollower, STANDARD_FACTION_NEUTRAL);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eFreeze, oFollower, 25.0);
ActionDoCommand(SetCommandable(TRUE, oFollower));
}
