OHS Henchman System : Calling Linkboy without resting?
« on: June 18, 2014, 01:04:01 pm »


               

OHS Henchman System, which can be downloadable from the vault, is one of the most useful script for solo players.


But unfortunately, it does not work when a module, a hak, or an override modifies resting. For example, it does not work on "Pretty Good Character Creator / Customizer", which is using instant resting. Also, OHS does not work when using PRC. I guess it is because PRC has some modification on the resting script for using new spell book system and such. In both cases, the Linkboy does not appear even if a PC rests.


Is there any way to call the Linkboy via, say, console command?


Or maybe I may create an item to call the Linkboy? I do not know much about scripting yet (I am mainly a Mac user) and have no confidence on making one by myself, though.

It's been a long while since I wrote the OHS, so my memory of how it worked internally is a bit faded and I don't have access to it on this machine so I can't look it up but I'll try to answer your question.


 


Spawning the linkboy, and a lot of other things, is controlled by the defauIt player heartbeat script. Any other system that messes with this is going to break the OHS totally. It would certainly be possible to spawn a linkboy with a console command (the resref you would need is ohs_linkboy), but if the default script has been overridden by the one from some other package, the OHS won't function.


 


Basically, PRC is incompatible with OHS.

Thanks OldMansBeard.

That is sad. PRC has cohort system but it has a lot of bugs and is not as good as OHS.
