I do have a question actually. Does anyone know if there is a way to make it so that you can only engage in a dialogue with someone if you are considered to be intoxicated?
I tried looking under the trigger.ids with no luck. But I figured I'd ask all the same. It doesn't appear in the list under states in state.ids either.
For anyone looking to do this in the future what you do is make the game look for negative luck. Mind you that could also include fatigue, so its not a perfect solution, but all things considered I think it works rather well.
So in my case it looked something like this.
IF ~NumTimesTalkedToGT(0)~ THEN BEGIN k9modesthelped SAY ~Your back again? You here to buy me a drink?~
+~CheckStatLT(Player1,0,LUCK)~+ ~Yea I'm terrific~ EXIT ++ ~My apologies, I didn't mean to disturb you.~ EXIT END
// add links from the new area to these area(s) ACTION_DEFINE_ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY fromNewArea BEGIN "AR5200" => "ExitS" // dryad falls
END
// calls the function and returns the worldmap entry number for the new area LAUNCH_ACTION_FUNCTION sc#addWmpAre INT_VAR mapIcon = 55 // map icon xCoord = 320 // x coordinate yCoord = 1230 // y coordinate tTime = 6 // travel time *4, so two means eight hours inclSv = 1 reachable = 1 visited = 0 visible = 0 visibleAdjacent = 1 STR_VAR areName = "k91000" // area reference, like "AR0700" strName = EVAL "Cyric Stronghold" // area name, like "Waukeen's Promenade" strDesc = EVAL "Cyric Stronghold" // area description which will show up when hovering the area on the worldmap
END
I can't seem to be able to get this to work. Every time I try to travel between my new area (k91000) and AR5200 the game crashes. The map icon image and text appear where they are supposed to and everything else seems fine.
I've used Near Infinity to set AR5200's area south parameter to k91000. I've similarly done the same for k91000 (except for north).
Any ideas for what could be causing the crashing? Also I found that I wasn't able to get the travel cursor to appear when trying to travel south from AR5200. Is there an additional step I need to take to unlock this?
Hmm, did the entrance "Exitwmp" exist in your new area? If the entrance exists, is this entrancename unique?
You could try if it crashes if you use
ACTION_DEFINE_ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY toNewArea BEGIN
"AR5200" => ""
END
instead of
ACTION_DEFINE_ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY toNewArea BEGIN
"AR5200" => "Exitwmp"
END
in the Array I think...
For traveling to the south, you have to edit the Searchmap...
I tried modifying the entrance names to be something unique but that didn't appear to help. I tried looking into editing the searchmap but I'm not really sure what is involved in that.
I also tried looking at this guide and using the IE Tileset Area editor but it crashed when I tried it with BGEE.
k91000 is actually just a copy of OH3000 (Rasaad's quest outdoors map) that has had all its actors removed from it (as well as a few other changes). Its not meant to be a copy of AR5200 (which is the map its connected to).
Yea to be honest its still kind of buggy. But it is possible to go between the two maps. So for the time being I'm not going to worry about it given that this is for a secondary quest.
I've never used ADD_AREA_REGION_TRIGGER. The patch function "fj_are_structure" should work similarly however. Code would look like this: COPY_EXISTING ~k9EveOfWar/ARE/k91000.are~ ~override~
PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0x11b) BEGIN // checking for valid ARE resource
LPF fj_are_structure
INT_VAR
fj_type = 1 // 1: info region
// bounding box of region
fj_box_left = 2303
fj_box_top = 313
fj_box_right = 2340
fj_box_bottom = 400
fj_cursor_idx = 22 // 22: info cursor
fj_flags = 0 // optional region flags
fj_info_point_strref = RESOLVE_STR_REF(@1234) // displayed text
// Actual coordinates of region polygon (required!). Specify combined X and Y coordinates.
fj_vertex_0 = 2303 + (313 << 16)
fj_vertex_1 = 2340 + (313 << 16)
fj_vertex_2 = 2340 + (400 << 16)
fj_vertex_3 = 2303 + (400 << 16)
STR_VAR
fj_structure_type = region // ARE structure type
fj_name = your_region_name // region name
END
END
@argent77 out of curiosity if I wanted to use weidu to rename an existing infopoint (and by rename I mean change the text of the infopoint as it appears in game) how would I go about doing that? For examples sake lets say Info4801 (Nashkel Inn) which is found in the AR4800.are file (Nashkel).
The safest approach is probably by scanning all region structures in the ARE file until you find the one to modify and do your stuff.
This is a (modified) example from my own mod: COPY_EXISTING ~ar4800.are~ ~override~
PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0x11b) BEGIN
READ_SHORT 0x5a regions_count
READ_LONG 0x5c regions_ofs
FOR (i = 0 ; i < regions_count ; i += 1) BEGIN
READ_ASCII (regions_ofs + i*0xc4) region_name (32) NULL // reading region name
PATCH_IF (~%region_name%~ STRING_EQUAL_CASE ~Info4801~) BEGIN // checking region name
SAY (regions_ofs + i*0xc4 + 0x64) ~Your new info text...~ // setting new info text
i = regions_count // you should terminate the loop afterwards to speed up the installation process
END
END
You can optionally check the region type as well to make sure you're modifying an info region.
@argent77 so I'm trying to get two NPC's that are neutral to me to attack eachother. One is called k9fist and the other is k9fist2 (by that I mean both their cre name and their script name). They are basically just two renamed flaming fist members that only have one of two variations on this script.
I've tried various things with no success. The examples I'm showing are for k9fist attacking k9fist2
I've tried
IF Global("k9FriendlyInnFight","GLOBAL",1) THEN RESPONSE #100
Attack("k9Fist2") END
IF Global("k9FriendlyInnFight","GLOBAL",1) THEN RESPONSE #100
AttackReevaluate("k9Fist2",15) END
IF Global("k9FriendlyInnFight","GLOBAL",1) THEN RESPONSE #100
ActionOverride("k9Fist",Attack("k9Fist2") END
IF Global("k9FriendlyInnFight","GLOBAL",1) THEN RESPONSE #100
ActionOverride("k9Fist",GroupAttack("k9Fist2") END
and probably other combinations as well. Is there like the equivalent of a force attack that I'm missing? The fist members seems to want to attack eachother they just don't do anything.
It should work with the script blocks you mentioned. Although if you want to let them fight each other for a certain amount of time rather than to the death, AttackOneRound("scriptname") is probably a safer choice.
There may be other issues that are preventing your characters from attacking each other. For example, did you double-check their script names? Are their scripts correctly assigned and their script conditions set? Are there other script blocks interfering with the fight? Are their weapons correctly equipped? Are the characters carrying too much weight? Are they under some kind of invisibility effect or otherwise untargetable?
Anyways I managed to get it working. it looks like I had actually missed replacing one of their scripts and on the other character I gave them the wrong script name. So all is well.
@argent77 Another question. Lets just say I wanted to make it so that charname (after a certain dialogue) recieved an item that was flagged as stolen. Giving charname the items is easy enough but how would I go about flagging that item stolen? I tried using Near Infinity but obviously had no success.
Perhaps you can pre-store the item in a CRE or ARE file with the stolen flag or you can store a kind of itemtoken with the stolen flag and then use a TransformItem() (with or without PickUpItem) to modify your item on the fly while preserving the flag states. This is just theoretical - I haven't tested it.

Then, only do the last one with SOLVED_JOURNAL?

DLTCEP would be the better tool...
The sc#addWmpAre Macro works great, I've tried this with following code, thats why I think there is a problem with your entrances...
COPY_EXISTING ~AR5200.are~ ~override/k91000.are~
ACTION_DEFINE_ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY toNewArea BEGIN

END
COPY_EXISTING ~OH3000.are~ ~override/k91000.are~
ACTION_DEFINE_ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY toNewArea BEGIN

visible = 0
visibleAdjacent = 1
STR_VAR areName = "k91000"
strName = EVAL "Cyric Stronghold"
strDesc = EVAL "Cyric Stronghold"
END
Right now I have this
COPY_EXISTING ~k9EveOfWar/ARE/k91000.are~ ~override/k91000.are~
LAUNCH_PATCH_FUNCTION
ADD_AREA_REGION_TRIGGER
INT_VAR
ab_RT_Type =1

ab_RT_BbLY =313
ab_RT_BbHX =2340
ab_RT_BbHY =400
STR_VAR
ab_RT_Name=~Bodies~
END
But it doesn't work.
I got the idea from here
http://www.shsforums.net/topic/46106-subcomponents-and-scripts/
I tried also removing the INT_VAR and STR_VAR from this (and having "SET" instead in front of each of the lines like it shows here
http://weidu.org/~thebigg/README-WeiDU.html#sec53
but that didn't work.
Any ideas? All I basically want is to have a point in the map where a player can click and it will show text ("bodies" in this case).

Go to the area and save, then investigate the DV of the creature in the save file...
