A small scripting question

[dvader28]

Hi all.

 

I've got a trigger that runs the script for the stormtrooper conversation about the axe-thing (as in the cairn level). You move thru the trigger and the conversation starts....trouble is, it doesn't stop once the ST's see me or when i kill them! How do i stop the conversation once i've started it?

Maybe you can give them angerscript. That script should contain flush() command or affect (flush) and then other commands.

[dvader28]

I've tried adding "angerscript | flushnouse" but the thing is, the script doesn't run on the stormtroopers....just simply plays MP3's. Do u have MSN messenger or Y! messenger Xcom?

 

[Xcom]

What script are you using to start the conversation?

 

(Nope, don't use any evil messangers )

 

EDIT:

 

Btw, how can it not run on the troopers if you specify it on them. You must be doing something wrong. The question is what?

[dvader28]

Let me see.....cairn_dock1/st_conv1

 

Do you have mIRC?

 

I haven't specified it on them.....the script doesn't require it....all the script does is play mp3's of two guys talking....i just HAPPEN to have two stormies there.

Interesting script. I have one more question. How did you run it? By target_scriptrunner or as a spawnscript or smth?

[dvader28]

triggered scriptrunner

Ah, and here is the problem. As you can see the script doesn't affect any1 so basically, it's just playing globally (or maybe it's playing on kyle himself, not sure). That's why angerscript on the trooper doesn't stop it. What you can do is modify this script in BehaveED so it plays on the trooper.

 

affect ("trooper1", FLUSH)

{

//paste here the code from original script

}

You should assign NPC_targetname trooper1 to one of the troopers.

 

This way the anger script should work.

[dvader28]

I assume i could put this new script into the "scripts" directory and use it from there?

 

[Xcom]

Yeah, only don't overwrite the original. Save this as new script.

[dvader28]

It would be nice to know how Raven did it as well...perhaps this has something to do with it:

 

set ( /*@SET_TYPES*/ "SET_NO_COMBAT_TALK", /*@BOOL_TYPES*/ "false" );

 

 

?

 

[dvader28]

Ah, this apparently controls whether or not the npc's will talk over the top of the running script.

 

[Xcom]

This controls whether or not NPC taunt you during teh combat. "The force betrays you" etc.
