conditional spawning of multiple Npcs

[Hunters Run]

This is for tsl

 

I am trying to spawn three npcs (let us call them twilek_thug1,2,and3 respectively ) and have them initiate a conversation with the pc after the Global Boolean 203Tel_Slusk_Dead has been activated. I have already tried several scripts yet these thugs refuse to appear.

Any help help/advice will be greatly appreciated.

If you'd post scripts you made, maybe someone would be able to find out what's wrong with them.

Anyway, I don't know where you want to fire your script, but here is code that should spawn your NPCs:

     if(GetGlobalBoolean("203Tel_Slusk_Dead")) { 
              CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "twilek_thug1", Location(Vector(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), 0.0f));    
              CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "twilek_thug2", Location(Vector(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), 0.0f));                
              CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "twilek_thug3", Location(Vector(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), 0.0f)); 
      }               

 

Of course, you will also need to change all those "0.0" to X, Y and Z coordinates where you want your NPC spawned.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Well, it works and they're spawned. However I am unable at the moment to initiate a conversation with them. No worries, I'll "mess around" so to speak and and see what I can do about that.

 

edit: I have managed to have them spawn on a trigger and initiate a conversation. However they keep spawning. Is there a way I can have them spawn only once.

To spawn them just once, you may add this to your trigger OnEnter script:

 

   if(GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 20)) {
             return;
             }


SetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 20, 1);

It will set local boolean for trigger when you enter this, but it won't do anything if local is already set (when you enter trigger for second time).

well I tried that script but they kept spawning then I tried

 

DestroyObject(OBJECT_SELF);

and it worked.

 

on another note, how do I give a npc a twilek voice over and lipsyncing?

 

edit: it occurs to me in hindsight that I should be more clear. What I want to do is give the twileks twilek voices yet even though I put the correct number in the alienrace node of the dlgeditor all I get is silence.
