Stuck in New Discovery
« on: August 04, 2011, 09:19:26 am »


               I just found out how to turn NPCs from the toolset into PCs. I built my character with some monster abilities but while playing the game the special abilities are not there. Can any one help me fond a solution?

Thanks You in advance !!!

               Player character cannot use special abilities.

               Why not ? Can't I find any tool or software to make them use special abilities?

               script it. you must add a GUI/CLI to those abilities or the player will not beable to utilise them.

               As CID-78 said. Place the scripts into the single player module you're adventuring in and save the module. Then restart the module - not a saved game - and use the script features you've added. Additionally, you can hit F9 from the toolset while you're putting the scripts together, to test it before you start playing the single player module again.

FP!

               CID-78 yes but then it wont be "special abilities" anymore but custom feats. The special ability as we know them from possessing creatures via DM or familiar just cannot be used by PCs as player character's file format doesnt include them at all.

               I can see three ways to let the PC interact with the ability.

1) Custom feats
2) Item with Unique power
3) Trigger the ability by saying a magic word.

You aslo must research each and every ability seperatly to see what it does and what you need link it into the above choice.

I doubt you will find a tutorial dealing with the topic.
