String to object?

[Legacy_Ryuhi2000]

               anyone have a StringToObject function?

               Hmm..well there is the ObjectToString function which gives a hexidecimal string from an object already in exhistance. And this string is absolutely unique. No other object will have the same one which is useful for debugging or what not. You probably already know of this function.
But doing it in reverse wouldn't make much sense since an item only has this string once it is created. Did you want to assign a specific hexidecimal string to an object?
If you are just trying to creat items from strings then you would just use res refs and the functions: CreateItemOnObject, CreateObject.
Perhaps a bit more info about what you want to accomplish would help out?

               i need to take a location stored as a string in a database and assign it to be an object that my script will then use to teleport to. because the script is still kinda long ill save time by saying the problems im reciving for compiling  in the Destination function literaly its 3 lines that get the mismatch error but the other 3 lines are commented out because script editor was giving some other error when i went to save with the 3 mismatch error lines commented out

 the script is as clean as it could get while still doing what i want it to while i still understand whats going on in it
Below you can find the script but it wont compile if i uncomment the real lines of code with // in front of them since those lines are getting mismatched type error.

#include "nw_i0_plot"

//start of no xp loss and no gp loss function

SetLocalInt(GetModule(), "gp_penalty_on", 0);//set to 1 if you are going to take a penalty for gold else leave 0
SetLocalInt(GetModule(), "xp_penalty_on", 0);//set to 1 if you are going to take a penalty for xp else leave 0
//end variables

SetXP(oPC, nXP);
AssignCommand(oPC, TakeGoldFromCreature(nGP, oPC, TRUE));

//the script will do this if gold penalty and xp penalty are turned off

               the three mismatch lines are below and yes i know the one line is there twice it has to be since the code is mirrored everything from the else if the player has not found the rez shrine has to happen if the switch is run under case 0

//{oTarget = GetCampaignString("bindpointdatabase", "sBindPoint", oPC);}

//{oTarget = GetLocation(oPC);}

//{oTarget = GetCampaignString("bindpointdatabase", "sBindPoint", oPC);}

               You could just change this line:

oTarget = GetCampaignString("bindpointdatabase", "sBindPoint", oPC);

To this:

oTarget = GetWaypointByTag(GetCampaignString("bindpointdatabase", "sBindPoint", oPC));

Hope it helps.

For all 3 of these lines you are telling an object to be either a string or a location. oTarget has to be an object. This is why you are getting the mismatched type.

               Your Rez function could also be further condensed to something more like so:

void Rez(object oPC)
{
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,EffectResurrection(),oPC);
RemoveEffects(oPC);

//start of soul stone code that can be removed
if (GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "soulstoneitem") != OBJECT_INVALID)
    {
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,EffectHeal(GetMaxHitPoints(oPC)), oPC);
    DestroyObject(GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "soulstoneitem"));
    }
else
    {
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,EffectHeal(GetCurrentHitPoints(oPC) + 1), oPC);
    }
}//end how much hp to restore on respawn function

No need to do any "do while" loops if you aren't looping through anything.

And since the Resurrection effect already heals the player to 1 hp you don't even need that "else" which adds another hit point..unless the desire is for the player to have 2 hps. So you could further condense it like so:

void Rez(object oPC)
{
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,EffectResurrection(),oPC);
RemoveEffects(oPC);

//start of soul stone code that can be removed
if (GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "soulstoneitem") != OBJECT_INVALID)
    {
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,EffectHeal(GetMaxHitPoints(oPC)), oPC);
    DestroyObject(GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "soulstoneitem"));
    }
}//end how much hp to restore on respawn function

               nice i didnt relize resurrection healed to a positive 1 hp i thought it just brought them to 0 hp and exellent point gog that was something i missed sometime it takes more then a pairs eyes to spot something like that speciaily when that pair pair constantly has the script editor open.......

and i had looping just because the old version of it on nwvault had a cluster EFF of ifs so i tried to avoid if everywhere i could in the script lol but yeah i only need it to run once not loop

               Also if you don't mind me making a suggestion...Since your destination function isn't returning an object or a location it won't correctly work the way you have it. But you can just have it do the work of jumping to an object. So you could condense it quite a bit as well. So with a change to that plus the other changes your whole script might look like so:


#include "nw_i0_plot"

//start of no xp loss and no gp loss function
void ApplyPenalty(object oPC)
{

//start variables (by default all are 0)
int nXP = GetXP(oPC) - 0;//set the 0 to the amount xp you want to take
int nGP = 0;//set the 0 to the amount gold you want to take

SetLocalInt(GetModule(), "gp_penalty_on", 0);//set to 1 if you are going to take a penalty for gold else leave 0
SetLocalInt(GetModule(), "xp_penalty_on", 0);//set to 1 if you are going to take a penalty for xp else leave 0
//end variables

SetXP(oPC, nXP);
AssignCommand(oPC, TakeGoldFromCreature(nGP, oPC, TRUE));

//the script will do this if gold penalty and xp penalty are turned off
if (GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "gp_penalty_on")== 0 && GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "xp_penalty_on")== 0)
{FloatingTextStringOnCreature("You have respawned without gold loss and without experience loss", oPC, FALSE);}

//the script will do this if gold penalty is turned on and xp penalty is turned off
else if(GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "gp_penalty_on")== 1 && GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "xp_penalty_on")== 0)
{FloatingTextStringOnCreature("You have respawned with gold loss", oPC, FALSE);}

//the script will do this if xp penalty is turned on and gold penalty is turned off
else if(GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "xp_penalty_on")== 1 && GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "gp_penalty_on")== 0)
{FloatingTextStringOnCreature("You have respawned with experience loss", oPC, FALSE);}

//the script will do this if xp penalty is turned on and gold penalty is turned on
else if(GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "xp_penalty_on")== 1 && GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "gp_penalty_on")== 1)
{FloatingTextStringOnCreature("You have respawned with experience and gold loss", oPC, FALSE);}

}
//end of no xp loss and no gp loss function

//start how much hp to restore of respawn function
void Rez(object oPC)
{
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,EffectResurrection(),oPC);
    RemoveEffects(oPC);

    //start of soul stone code that can be removed
    if (GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "soulstoneitem") != OBJECT_INVALID)
    {
        ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,EffectHeal(GetMaxHitPoints(oPC)), oPC);
        DestroyObject(GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "soulstoneitem"));
    }
}//end how much hp to restore on respawn function

//start function that determines where the player respawns
void Destination(object oPC)
{
    object oArea = GetArea(oPC);
    int iShrineCheck = GetLocalInt(oArea, "hasrezshrine");
    object oTarget;

    //if there is a set bindpoint on the player teleport to it
    if  (GetCampaignString("bindpointdatabase", "sBindPoint", oPC) != "")
    {
        oTarget = GetWaypointByTag(GetCampaignString("bindpointdatabase", "sBindPoint", oPC));
        AssignCommand(oPC, ActionJumpToObject(oTarget));
    }
    //else if there is a shrine in the area teleport to it
    else if (iShrineCheck == 1)
    {
        oTarget = GetNearestObjectByTag("rezshrine", oPC, 1);
        AssignCommand(oPC, ActionJumpToObject(oTarget));
    }
    //else if there is a valid death temple WP then teleport to it
    else if (GetIsObjectValid(GetWaypointByTag("NW_DEATH_TEMPLE")) == TRUE)

    Rez(oPC);//rez and heals the player
    ApplyPenalty(oPC);//by bioware default it should remove gold and xp but i changed that
    Destination(oPC);//player respawns at appropriate waypoint
}


I haven't tested this or anything but just figured I'd point out how you can streamline it a bit.

               looks bit better then what i had gog but i need to leave the option for the player to rez where they are if there is no NW_DEATH_TEMPLE since i planned on making the thing completely modular so people can customize easily if they wish to remove the any of the destinations i made. entire system is modular....  and customizable

               That's how it works. If there is not bindpoint, no shrinepoint, or no Deathtemple waypoint then they won't go anywhere.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Ryuhi2000]

               ah ok i though i had to code that in that it wouldnt be there by default shame on me for misreading that code and that code gave me a good idea on how i could reduce more lines from what i had

               In the end, NWNx2 and nwnx_funcs has a StringToObject function for both Windows and linux.
