Scripts-Spawning & the like

[Mandalore_The_Great]

Hi. I tried this script:

 

void main() {
CreateObject( OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE,
"n_sithsoldier004", GetLocation(GetFirstPC()))
    object oNPC = GetObjectByTag("n_sithsoldier004");
    ChangeToStandardFaction(oNPC, STANDARD_FACTION_HOSTILE_1);
}

 

and when I go to compile, it says there's a syntax error at object.... do you see any problems with it? thanks

Shouldn't the 'object oNPC = GetObjectByTag("n_sithsoldier004");' line go before everything else?

Well, you have to say for which game this is. If it is for TSL, try this one:

 

void main()
{
object oPC = GetFirstPC();
location lPC = GetLocation(oPC);
object oNPC = GetObjectByTag("n_sithsoldier004");

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, oNPC, lPC);

ChangeToStandardFaction(oNPC, STANDARD_FACTION_HOSTILE);
}

 

I think it is correct. If it isn't, go easy on me, cause I'm scripting away from my PC!

Hope this helps!

 

EDIT: Awwh, Robespierre cauht me on this one!

 

EDIT 2 : Such eyes, glovemaster! How could we miss that? I take a deep bow for you!

actually for K1

I tested this on end_trask dialogue when you first meet Trask.

So it should look like:

void main() {
CreateObject( OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE,
object oNPC = GetObjectByTag("n_sithsoldier004");
"n_sithsoldier004", GetLocation(GetFirstPC()))    
    ChangeToStandardFaction(oNPC, STANDARD_FACTION_HOSTILE_1);
}

That?

Use the script provided by Istorian, except change the constant from STANDARD_FACTION_HOSTILE to STANDARD_FACTION_HOSTILE_1. I assume that the constant STANDARD_FACTION_HOSTILE_1 was used in K1?

 

The scripting methods for K1 and TSL are almost identical, except for some differing constants and functions.

I found an old .nss file from the Call of Aid mod. I just used that and it works here it is:

void main()

{

CreateObject( OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE,
"n_sithsoldier004", GetLocation(GetFirstPC()));

}

this can be closed if necessary

If your interested, the real problem was because your line:

CreateObject( OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "n_sithsoldier004", 
GetLocation(GetFirstPC()))

was missing the end semi-colon ( ; )

CreateObject( OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "n_sithsoldier004", 
GetLocation(GetFirstPC()))[color=red];[/color]
