Help adding script

[Mandalore_The_Great]

This is probably a really stupid question, but how do I add a new script into the game? I'm modding K1, in case you need to know.

What kind of script is it? What does it do? (It will help us determine what is best in your case)

well I wanted to make one so that I could add some new dialogue options when I talked to some of the jedi characters in Dantooine.

If you're looking to add dialog options, you'll first need to edit or create a new dlg file for the character in question. If I remember correctly, to determine if that particular dialog branch is available, you'll need type in the script file's name in the "Script to Determine if Node is available" text box. I don't have the DLGEditor in front of me now, but I can check it shortly later. As for the scripting itself, I'm afraid I can't help you, as I'm still somewhat of a scripting newbie. The tutorial Darth333 mentioned might prove handy.

so... how do I edit the .dlg file? it's probably somewhere in the KOTOR tool if I'm not mistaken.

You can double click on any .dlg file found in KotOR Tool and that will open the Conversation Editor. Under the Node Scripts tab, it is, as Star Admiral mentioned "Script to Determine Node Availability". Scripts listed in this field look like this

 

int StartingConditional() {
// blah blah blah 
}

These scripts return true or false as their result value and based on that, the node is made available or not.

I know there's a list of scripts somewhere here... anybody have the link? like what all the different scripts do

Could use a little help in figuring out how to have two pics in my signature, too.

Do you mean nwscript.nss ? All the functions are listed in there (it's in the scripts.bif ...use Kotor tool to get it).
