Persistent placables non NWNX

vonstorm

There used to be a system on the vault that let you place furniture and have it persistent without nwnx. That file is now 0kb sadly. Ive tried to use setcampaignlocation etc, but I guess it's more complicated than that. Does anyone have a pointer to where a system is that will remember placable locations persistently? My placement code is currently

void main()
{
    object oSpawn;
    object oPC = GetItemActivator();
    object oActTarget = GetItemActivatedTarget();
    location lActTarget = GetItemActivatedTargetLocation();
    object oArea = GetArea(oPC);
    int ibuildable = GetLocalInt(oArea,"buildable");
     // This item must target a location (not an object).
    if ( GetIsObjectValid(oActTarget) )
    {
        SendMessageToPC(oPC, "Improper use of this item!");
        return;
    }

    if ( ibuildable =1)
    {
        // Spawn "crane".
    int itotbuilds = GetCampaignInt("Housing","Buildings",oArea);
    int icurrentbuild = itotbuilds +1;
    SetCampaignInt("Housing","Buildings",icurrentbuild,oArea);
    string icurr = IntToString(icurrentbuild);
    SetCampaignString("Housing","Type"+icurr,"scaffold",oArea);
    oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, "scaffold", lActTarget);
    SetCampaignLocation("Housing",icurr,lActTarget,oArea);
    string pcname = GetName(oPC);
    SetCampaignString("Housing","owner"+icurr,pcname,oArea);
    DestroyObject(GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "sethouse"));
    SetName(oSpawn,pcname = " Construction Site");
    return;
    }

    SendMessageToPC(oPC,"This Area is not buildable");
    // Give "deed" to the PC.



}

The Area Enter for the building zone is ugly but using it to see if it works:

void spawnhouse(int icurr,object oArea,object oSpawn)
{
    //run 1st placement
    icurr = icurr + 1;
    string snum = IntToString(icurr);
    string type = GetCampaignString("Housing","Type"+snum,oArea);
    location lLocation = GetCampaignLocation("Housing",snum,oArea);
    oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE,type,lLocation);
    string pcname = GetCampaignString("Housing","owner"+snum,oArea);
    SetTag(oSpawn,pcname+"House");
    SetLocalString(oSpawn,"owner",pcname);
    int stoneamt = GetCampaignInt("construction","stone",oSpawn);
    SetLocalInt(oSpawn,"stone",stoneamt);
    int woodamt = GetCampaignInt("construction","wood",oSpawn);
    SetLocalInt(oSpawn,"wood",stoneamt);
}

void main()
{

    // Get the creature who triggered this event.
    object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
    object oSpawn;
    object oArea = OBJECT_SELF;
    int bnum = GetCampaignInt("Housing","Buildings",oArea);
    int icurr = 0;
    // Only fire for (real) PCs.
    if ( !GetIsPC(oPC)  ||  GetIsDMPossessed(oPC) )
        return;

    if (bnum < 1)
    return;

    spawnhouse(icurr,oArea,oSpawn);

    if (bnum < 2)
    return;

    spawnhouse(icurr,oArea,oSpawn);

   if (bnum < 3)
    return;

}

I'll look through what you have better later, but based off the first thing you said, I might have some tedious help. Not sure if it has been fixed, but at some point Set/GetCappaignLocation got broken.
So I made this for setting:

// Store the direction the object is facing.
SetCampaignFloat("db_name", ("F" + sName), GetFacingFromLocation(lLocation));
// Get the 3D position of the object.
vector vPosition = GetPositionFromLocation(lObject);
// Store them individually.
SetCampaignFloat("db_name", ("X" + sName), vPosition.x);
SetCampaignFloat("db_name", ("Y" + sName), vPosition.y);
SetCampaignFloat("db_name", ("Z" + sName), vPosition.z);

And this for getting:

float fOrientation = GetCampaignFloat("db_name", ("F" + sName));
float fX = GetCampaignFloat("db_name", ("X" + sName));
float fY = GetCampaignFloat("db_name", ("Y" + sName));
float fZ = GetCampaignFloat("db_name", ("Z" + sName));
vector vPosition = Vector(fX, fY, fZ);
location lPlace = Location(oArea, vPosition, fOrientation);

I only used those once each, so they're not wrapped in functions, but you can do that easily.

much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Thanks to the snippet I got it working, thanks again
