Conditional henchmen count in convo?

[Legacy_Grymlorde]

               I want a potential henchman to decline the PC's offer of employment if the PC has the maximum amount of henchmen allowed by their charisma.

However I want to have the maximum number of henchmen set for each PC based on their charisma rather than module-wide (just like in AD&D).

In the OnClientEnter script, I added a section that sets a local integer, MAX_HENCH based on the PC's charisma (3 modified by Charisma).

What I can't figure out is how to write the conditional Text Appears When script that counts the number of henchmen the PC has and compares it to their MAX_HENCH local integer.

Here is as far as I get:

int StartingConditional()

{

object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();

GetLocalInt (oPC, "MAX_HENCH");

}

Any help is greatly appreciated!

               The lexicon page for GetHenchman has a routine for counting the number of hechpeople on the PC:

http://www.nwnlexico...tle=GetHenchman

Then something like this in your starting conditional (assuming you want this to return TRUE if the PC is
at the limit and not the other way around):

int nMax = GetLocalInt(oPC, "MAX_HENCH");
if (GetNumHenchmen(oPC) >= nMax))
                   return TRUE;

return FALSE;


Cheers,

Thanks a lot Meaglyn! I knew it was something simple but I got hung up on counting the henchmen. I couldn't get the GetNumHenchmen function to work so instead I used X2_GetNumberOfHenchmen and it worked fine:

//::///////////////////////////////////////////////

//:: hen_party_full

//::///////////////////////////////////////////////

/*

    Returns true if there is no room in the party

    for another based on the HenchMax local integer

*/

{

    object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();

    int nMax = GetLocalInt(oPC, "MAX_HENCH");

    if ((X2_GetNumberOfHenchmen(oPC) >= nMax))

        return TRUE;

  return FALSE;

}
