I recently made an area that has the PC fight an evil clone of themselves. I found that the PC clone only seemed to use melee attacks and ignored its spellcasting.
Thanks to the new SetEventScript function, I created this function to overcome this apparent limitation. Now the PC clone can be setup to use various XP2 switches to toggle behavior such as 100% chance to use spells
void ps_SetCreatureEventScripts(object oCreature, string sBlock = "",
string sDamage = "",
string sDeath = "",
string sConv = "",
string sDisturb = "",
string sCombat = "",
string sHeart = "",
string sAttack = "",
string sNotice = "",
string sRest = "",
string sSpawn = "",
string sSpell = "",
string sUser = "" )
{
// Set the event scripts
if (sBlock != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_BLOCKED_BY_DOOR, sBlock);
if (sDamage != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_DAMAGED, sDamage);
if (sDeath != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_DEATH, sDeath);
if (sConv != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_DIALOGUE, sConv);
if (sDisturb != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_DISTURBED, sDisturb);
if (sCombat != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_END_COMBATROUND, sCombat);
if (sHeart != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_HEARTBEAT, sHeart);
if (sAttack != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_MELEE_ATTACKED, sAttack);
if (sNotice != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_NOTICE, sNotice);
if (sRest != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_RESTED, sRest);
if (sSpawn != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_SPAWN_IN, sSpawn);
if (sSpell != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_SPELLCASTAT, sSpell);
if (sUser != "" ) SetEventScript(oCreature, EVENT_SCRIPT_CREATURE_ON_USER_DEFINED_EVENT, sUser);
}
Here's the function in the block of code I use to create the doppleganger:
object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
// Create the doppleganger at the spawn location
location lSpawn = GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag("WP_SPAWN_CLONE"));
object oSpawn = CreateDoppleganger(oPC, lSpawn);
ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_SUMMON_MONSTER_1), lSpawn);
// Set the event scripts for the doppleganger - moved to CreateDoppleganger function
//ps_SetCreatureEventScripts(oSpawn, "x2_def_onblocked",
// "x2_def_ondamage",
// "x2_def_ondeath",
// "x2_def_onconv",
// "x2_def_ondisturb",
// "x2_def_endcombat",
// "x2_def_heartbeat",
// "x2_def_attacked",
// "x2_def_percept",
// "x2_def_rested",
// "x2_def_spawn",
// "x2_def_spellcast",
// "x2_def_userdef" );
// Flag for AI spell use
if (ps_GetIsArcaneCaster(oSpawn) || ps_GetIsDivineCaster(oSpawn) )
{
if (GetLevelByClass(CLASS_TYPE_SORCERER, oPC) || GetLevelByClass(CLASS_TYPE_WIZARD, oPC) )
{
SetLocalInt(oSpawn, "X2_L_BEH_MAGIC", 100);
}
else
{
SetLocalInt(oSpawn, "X2_L_BEH_MAGIC", 50);
}
}
else
{
AssignCommand(oSpawn, ActionAttack(oPC));
}
ps_GetIsArcaneCaster() and ps_GetIsDivineCaster() are two other custom functions - they just check for levels in spellcasting classes.
