Changing NPC Weapons
« on: April 23, 2011, 10:21:06 am »


               Hey, i am looking for a script that can change an NPC Weapon, by changing a variable.

atm i have some guards standing around in a town and i want to be able, to change their weapon.
for an examble:

if a integer variable named "GuardWeapon" was equal to "1" They would have a "Longsword",
if the "GuardWeapon" were increased to "2" they would change from a "Longsword" into a "+3 Longsword"

btw it is also very important that they dont change weapons from a "Longsword" to a "+3 Longsword" when they enter combat, if the "GuardWeapon" is equal to 1.

i am not a very experienced scripter, so i couldnt work out a script for something like this, i dont know if it is even possible.'Image

               void main()
{

 //NOTE: oGuard Must Be Defined
 //(Determined by where you are using this script)
 object oGuard = GetEnteringObject();  // OBJECT_SELF (Most likely use)

 int nInt = GetLocalInt(oGuard, "GuardWeapon");

 //For adding more weapons (of the same tagname + the Integer)
 string sInt = IntToString(nInt);

 //Change all of the weapons in the Guard inventory to the same tagname except
 //on the very end add 1/2/3 etc..(e.g. tagname_1 / tagname_2  (tagname_) + (#)

 //change this to the tagname used for all weapons - nInt
 // e.g. weapon_tagname_  (not weapon_tagname_1)
 // (To avoid confustion always use  _   at the end of all weapon tagnames)

 string sTag = "tagname_of_weapon_";

 string sJoin = sTag + sInt; //Tells us which weapon we are looking for..

 object oWeapon =  GetItemPossessedBy(oGuard, sJoin); //find the weapon

 //make the guard equip the weapon..
 AssignCommand(oGuard, ActionEquipItem(oWeapon, INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTHAND));

//Main Script End
}

///////////////////////// HERE IS THE SCRIPT REFINED W/O COMMENTS /////////////////

void main()
{
 object oGuard = GetEnteringObject(); 
 int nInt = GetLocalInt(oGuard, "GuardWeapon");
 string sInt = IntToString(nInt);
 string sTag = "tagname_of_weapon_";
 string sJoin = sTag + sInt;
 object oWeapon =  GetItemPossessedBy(oGuard, sJoin); //find the weapon

 AssignCommand(oGuard, ActionEquipItem(oWeapon, INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTHAND));
}

I have a Question on this.  Are your changing the integer variable dynamicly( while the game is running) or is it a static change( only changed in the toolset).

Your best bet is to only allow the NPC to have one weapon at a time, That way there is no question what weapon they will use.  You are also correct that the standard AI would equip there best weapon.

With your script they need to have all the weapons in the inventory at the same time.

and then i am just afraid that my Guards will equip the best weapon, when they enter combat instead of the one there were suposed to have equiped
