EDIT: Aha, I seem to have gotten it working:

void main()
{


     if( GetIsInConversation(GetFirstPC()) == TRUE )
     {

        DelayCommand(0.5, ExecuteScript("this_script", OBJECT_SELF));
        return;
     }

     if( GetIsInConversation(GetFirstPC()) == FALSE )
     {
        DelayCommand(0.5, DisplayMessageBox()); 
     }

}

This makes it so the conversation continues as normal, the GUI doesn't break, and no more than a second after the conversation is over the message box is properly displayed. Hooray!

Somehow, I didn't get the memo that you'd made a reply to the thread...

...A belated congrats on solving the issue, FG! I figured the DelayCommand would help you out, but it's nice to hear that it was successful.

So...

I'm working a script for part of mod for TSL. The idea is that the OnSpawn spawns the mandos invisible and the second script will "de-cloak" them.

The second script is run from a dialogue, but the mandos aren't showing. When they're spawned, they lack the shimmer, the distortion. I've tried for the past two days to make it work...

The OnSpawn:

Have you tried checking with the Sith Assassins, how they do that?

I originally tried that, but couldn't make it work. I just took another look at it and the UserDefined script for the Sith Assassin. I believe what I have will work, but I can't test it until tomorrow. I'll report back when I can.

That's where the original source for what I posted came from. It was subtly modified from that post.

On the bright side, I made them spawn right, but I have to wait to get home from school to make them unspawn.

As much as it shames me to say it, I made a rookie mistake.

I've been a scripter for a year and a half(and consider myself very good at it), but I made a simple mistake: I used the wrong tag!:

The worst part, we had it working about an hour ago, then it got messed up. Right now, I'm trying to get it back to a working model before I mess with it anymore.

Hey, I've been looking for help with some custom powers (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=213909) and all I need is the scripts. One has been provided already in the linked thread, but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Fair Strides 2 · November 3, 2014

So, I haven't been here in a while, but I'm in need of some major help here.

I'm working on fixing a vanilla bug relating to the Sith Armor on Taris, but it's proving irritating.

In short, if you equip the Sith Armor on Carth, take him out of the party, and then talk to Gadon and cash in the Armor, it isn't actually removed and Carth still has it.

My attempted workaround is like so(note that I'm re-writing the script from scratch):

Show spoiler

(hidden content - requires Javascript to show)

void main()
{
   int iPM = GetPartyMemberCount();
   if(iPM == 1)
   {
       SetAreaUnescapable(0);
       object oP = SpawnAvailableNPC(2, Location(Vector(94.19, 52.9, 0.0), 0.0));
//        AddToParty(oP, GetFirstPC());
       if(GetTag(GetItemInSlot(1, oP)) == "ptar_sitharmor")
       {
           AssignCommand(oP, ActionUnequipItem(GetItemInSlot(1, oP)));
       }
       SetGlobalBoolean("k1r_armor_carth", 1);
       SaveNPCState(2);
//        RemoveFromParty(oP);
//        DelayCommand(2.0, DestroyObject(oP));
       SetAreaUnescapable(1);
   }
   else
   {
       if(GetTag(GetItemInSlot(1, GetPartyMemberByIndex(0))) == "ptar_sitharmor")
       {
           AssignCommand(GetPartyMemberByIndex(0), ActionUnequipItem(GetItemInSlot(1, GetPartyMemberByIndex(0))));
       }

       if(GetTag(GetItemInSlot(1, GetPartyMemberByIndex(1))) == "ptar_sitharmor")
       {
           AssignCommand(GetPartyMemberByIndex(1), ActionUnequipItem(GetItemInSlot(1, GetPartyMemberByIndex(1))));
       }
   }

   int iStack = GetItemStackSize(GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "ptar_sitharmor"));
   int iStart = 1;
   while(iStart <=  iStack)
   {
       DestroyObject(GetItemPossessedBy(GetFirstPC(), "ptar_sitharmor"));
       iStart++;
   }

   CreateItemOnObject("ptar_sithpapers", GetFirstPC(), 1);
}

If I don't destroy Carth after spawning him, he shows up naked. If I destroy him, exit the module, and then add him to the party, he still has the armor on.

So, how would I modify the script above to make the changes stick, without having Carth permanently added to the party after the conversation (which would break immersion if he wasn't in the party when you entered...)?

DarthParametric · November 3, 2014

Restrict the armour to the player character only?

Fair Strides 2 · November 3, 2014

Restrict the armour to the player character only?

That would defeat the purpose of making both sets of armor available to obtain, which is rquired due to Gadon Thek saying that he would trade the Paper for the uniforms, not uniform..

Hassat Hunter · November 5, 2014

I would probably go around on making Carth required for the conversation option to appear, rather than going this script route.

Kinda need a look on the .dlg how to properly do that though without making people go "why doesn't this option appear?"

EDIT:

Aside from that you can always try to simply destroy the item rather than unequip it?

Well, I tried again just now and discovered something...

Show spoiler

(hidden content - requires Javascript to show)

A weird anomally that could be exploited...

I've just come to the conclusion that each party member has a separate inventory, with each inventory sharing the same items.

When a character equips something, a copy of it is removed from the inventory of every other party member.

Similar, when something is aquired or bought, a copy is added.

Scripting doesn't follow the same behaviour.

I've come to this conclusion, which could very well prove wrong, because of the Sith Armor.

I removed it from the first party member's (the one I control at the time) inventory while Carth was in the party, and then left the Hidden Bek Base.

Of note is the fact that I checked my inventory after the talk with Gadon and saw no Sith Armor.

After leaving the base, I added Carth to the Party, and he didn't have the Armor equipped...

*but*

he did have a copy in his inventory.

In short, each party member has their own inventory, and when one uses the normal game mechanics to acquire or discard items, the inventories of the other party members are "synced" with the inventory of the one who got rid of/acquired the item.

When one uses scripting for the same purpose, they have to apply it to more than just the one inventory...

Thus, my issue was Carth's Inventory not changing/updating and him thus retaining the armor.

My solution was to simply destroy the item after it was unequipped:

void main()
{
   int iPM = GetPartyMemberCount();
   object oP;
   if(iPM == 1)
   {
       SetAreaUnescapable(0);
       oP = SpawnAvailableNPC(2, Location(Vector(94.19, 52.9, 0.0), 0.0));
       AddPartyMember(2, oP);
       object oI = GetItemInSlot(1, oP);
       if(GetTag(oI) == "ptar_sitharmor")
       {
           AssignCommand(oP, ActionUnequipItem(oI));
           DestroyObject(oI);
       }
       SetGlobalBoolean("k1r_armor_carth", 1);
//        SetAvailableNPCId(2, oP);
       SaveNPCState(2);

//        RemovePartyMember(2);
       SetAreaUnescapable(1);
   }

The only issue was that I had to re-sync Carth's inventory, thus I set Carth to not be selectable and then call the Party Selection screen, making him leave the party with a synced inventory.

Hassat Hunter · November 10, 2014

Could be.

First that comes to mind is a situation with TSL(RCM) with BaoDur on the Telos Plateau.

I fixed him being injured in 1.7, but afterwards people still mentioned him being hurt. So I wanted to check it out myself, and I spend hours on that, not understanding why it didn't work anymore...

Until finally, after an insane long time, I found out;

* If entering the academy the actual teammates are placed inside the force fields. If you go up then, it will heal Bao-Dur properly.

* If you save, then load, before getting your teammates out, they are instead replaced by clones. The clone Bao-Dur gets healed, but the *actual* Bao-Dur is still injured if he joins your party or goes to the Hawk.

It could be you simply deleted it from Carth's clone, rather than the actual teammate?

(In the end I solved it by aside from healing at the academy, there's also a healing addition in the 950COR cutscene during the fade-in)

Did that work for you? I tried CreateObject() with OBJECT_TYPE_TRIGGER in that exact way and myriad others and kept coming up empty.

In KotOR1, of course, not 2.

Might try adding DelayCommand(0.5, AssignCommand(oPerson, ActionPutDownItem(oTrap))); before the CreateObject.

Still no dice. Weird. Can't get any triggers to spawn like that for some reason.

Still nothing. I tinkered around with SignalEvent() too, but same end result.

CreateObject() doesn't list ITEM_TYPE_TRIGGER as a possible type in its function notes, so I'm not sure if it can even spawn them, and if the mines have their events defined anywhere, I haven't found it yet.

I've been trying to make Awareness and Demolitions more useful by adding in stealthed enemies with Sneak Attack and enemies that lay mines, but so far only the former has been successful. I can't think of a point in KotOR where you see a mine get created by a script.

edit: I was thinking there might be an associated talent with Demolitions that lets you use it, like there is with Stealth, but if that's the case I haven't managed to make it work yet.

Well, I'm clueless then. When you do the TSL version, or if you let me make it for TSL, then we can use the SpawnMine function.
