Scripting questions.

1.Is it possible to change light saber colors with a script?

 

2.How would you give a rodian force powers and use them ?

 

3.How would you make an npc sit?

1. I am not aware of any way to change the saber color in a script, but you can set it in the npcs.npc file. See #2.

 

2. Make a new NPC. Here's the entry in the config file (note the saberColor tag!):

 

RebornRodian

{

fullName "Some Guy"

playerModel rebornrodian

saberColor red

rank captain

}

 

You can set his level of Force powers using SET_FORCE_PUSH_LEVEL and so on.

 

3. This is an ICARUS thing.

 

affect ( "my_npc", /*@AFFECT_TYPE*/ FLUSH )

{

set ( "SET_ANIM_BOTH", "BOTH_STAND5TOSIT2" );

set ( "SET_ANIM_HOLDTIME_BOTH", $-1$ );

}

 

Download the ModView program to look at the models and check out all the animation. Using ICARUS to animate your NPCs can add a lot to a game.

1. There's a script file over at JK2files.com that changes the colors with a bind instead of going through the menu.
