More script trouble - tsl

[newbiemodder]

I have this script:

 

void ST_GoAway(float x, float y, int bRunAway=TRUE); 

void main() {

if (!GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 38) && (GetEnteringObject() == GetFirstPC())) { 
SetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 38, TRUE); 


DestroyObject(GetObjectByTag("plc_elevbtn"));
DestroyObject(GetObjectByTag("Jawa01"));

RemoveAvailableNPC(6);
AddAvailableNPCByTemplate(6, "p_kreia");
SetNPCSelectability(6, FALSE);


AssignCommand(GetObjectByTag("Ex-partymember tag"), ST_GoAway(25.00, 60.47)); 

}
}

void ST_GoAway(float x, float y, int bRunAway=TRUE) { 
location lExit=Location(Vector(x, y, 0.0), 0.0); 
SetCommandable(TRUE); 
ClearAllActions(); 
ActionForceMoveToLocation(lExit, bRunAway); 
ActionDoCommand(DestroyObject(OBJECT_SELF)); 
SetCommandable(FALSE); 




}

 

What I want to happen is for my temporary party member(replacing kreia) to leave the party, run to a point, and fadeaway, and return kreia to the party selection gui.

 

The run and disappear part of the script I got from the tutorials/scripting section.

 

Everything seems to work fine, the ex-party member runs away, kreia appears again on the party selection gui, but the ex-party member does not fade-away as he is supposed to. Can't figure out why.

Try changing this line ActionDoCommand(DestroyObject(OBJECT_SELF)); to ActionDoCommand(DestroyObject(GetObjectByTag("Ex-partymember tag")));

and see if that works.

DS, it didn't work. Is it the logic of the script or is it because the npc was a party member and can't be destroyed. I don't know.

 

What about the RemoveFromParty() command? Do I need to add that in the party section of the script?

[DarthStoney]

Try this ,you may want to add a "DelayCommand" to sub1();

void sub1();

void sub1() {
       object oTemp = GetObjectByTag("Ex-partymember tag");

       float x=25.00f;
       float y=60.47f;
       float z=0.0f;

       int bRun=TRUE;

       vector myvec = Vector(x,y,z);
location myexit = Location(myvec,0.0f);
       ClearAllActions();
       ActionDoCommand(SetCommandable(TRUE,oTemp));
AssignCommand (oTemp,ActionForceMoveToLocation(myexit,bRun));
AssignCommand (oTemp,ActionDoCommand(DestroyObject(oTemp)));

      ActionDoCommand(SetCommandable(FALSE,oTemp));
      }




void main() {

if (!GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 38) && (GetEnteringObject() == GetFirstPC())) { 
SetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 38, TRUE); 


DestroyObject(GetObjectByTag("plc_elevbtn"));
DestroyObject(GetObjectByTag("Jawa01"));

RemoveAvailableNPC(6);
AddAvailableNPCByTemplate(6, "p_kreia");
SetNPCSelectability(6, FALSE);


sub1();

}
}

I'll give it a try.......

 

EDIT: Didn't work...the npc didn't move, nor did the part selection gui change....

[DarthStoney]

you did change "Ex-partymember tag" to match the npc tag correct? also did you try

DelayCommand(0.5, sub1());

Are you running this script off of a dialog? if you are it may be better to make it two seprate scripts.

[newbiemodder]

I changed the tag.

 

I'll try the delay.

 

Yes, it is coming out of a dialog. Maybe I'll try to break it up then

 

EDIT:

 

got it to work. Broke it up to three scripts just to be sure. Used the generic, a_leaveparty, to remove party member, then script to reinstate kreia, and then run script from tutorials. Thanks for help.
