Dead Effect - Character to Spectator

[Legacy_WhiteTiger]

               

In a multiplayer game, when a PC dies, I would like to make the pc dead to be a SPECTATOR (the dead player is able to see other players playing but can not cause anything in the game).

 

 Right now I used CopyObject() when pc dies, ressurrect the original PC applying polymorph to WISP, adding EffectEtheral() for Greater Sanctuary and done.

 

I have 1 problem: the PC is able to attack monsters/placeables and is losing Greater Sanctuary Effect.

 

Ideas?

I guess you want the player to be able to move around, but not do anything else?

 

SetCommandable(FALSE, oPC) is a good way of stopping the player from doing anything.

 

For movement in those circumstances, you can use a player tool that targets locations. When the player clicks a location, SetCommandable TRUE, ActionMoveToLocation, SetCommandable FALSE. You could have the tool start automatically, and restart itself on use, so that it appears to the player that they always have a cursor. That way, the player never needs to know they are using a tool, and never has to give up a quickslot.

 

Not sure why you need Greater Sanctuary - maybe just make all factions friendly? Make the PC immortal? Make it a supernatural effect? Other people know more than I do about that stuff.

Regarding the above link, I notice that the example was slightly corrupted when migrated from my work to the Lexicon. Having trouble signing on there right now, so here's what it should say:

   Spoiler
   

As an example, let's make a custom menu using Player Tool 1.<br>

<br>

We want this feat to target the player only, so that the target cursor is suppressed :

*In feat.2da, find PLAYER_TOOL_01 (line 1106) and change TARGET_SELF from **** to 1.

*In spells.2da, find PLAYER_TOOL_01 (line 830) and change TargetType from 0x7F to 0x01.

<br> Optionally,

*we can make a custom icon for the feat by over-riding ife_x3_pltool01.tga.

*we can change the feat name by specifying a custom tlk table entry in feat.2da.

<br> To give the feat to the player,

*the example below adds some code to x3_mod_pre_enter that updates the PC skin, exactly like the horse system.

*Alternatively, you can just add a bonus feat to an item (or use ActionCastSpell).

<br> Finally, we add some content to the script x3_pl_tool01 which executes when the feat is activated.

That's what I wanted. Many thanks, Proleric
