Script that makes thieves look for traps

Helias

In BG2 there was the "thief adventurer script" that made thieves always look for traps. Actually, it's the logical thing to do. Why, if he isn't fighting, should a thief NOT look for traps? He has nothing else to do.

For some reason this script, which was the only one I really used, is gone. After each fight I have to reselect my thief and click on his "search traps" button.

Does anyone know where I could find such a script? I searched in different modding sites but couldn't find it. Which makes sense, because there was never any need to create a script that already existed.

@Halias - I asked just the same thing a few days back, and was rewarded with a link to a trap-finding script that worked, see:

Great, @Oxford_Guy !

Thank you for the help. I don't understand why they chose to do away with the most useful script.

The in game 'Thief Passive' script does this already. Give it a try.

Helias

So, it does, @Cutlassjack. Though it doesn't say so in the description (the "adventurer" script specifically mentioned it).

Thank you.

@Helias: Aye to be honest It was a happy accident I figured this out. I was really testing scripts to find one that would keep Imoen from doing odd things like moving into melee range to shoot someone.

I've now reported the missing Find Traps description in the script here:

Good idea. I like that they integrated the search trap behaviour in the defensive thief script. But if they don't mention in the description, you and me won't be the last to go looking or asking for a custom script.

Ive been using the thief passive script, which overrides any attempt to sneak.
