Scripting a Conditional Door Transition

[Legacy_white_tigress]

               Can someone PLEASE help me? I am brand new to scripting and know next to nothing about it.

I want to make a door (or ANY kind of area transition) that will transport the PC from a wizard's shack to one area BEFORE you get a journal update, and a different one AFTER you get the journal update.

I have already set up all three areas and waypoints for each of the different areas, but I can't seem to figure out how to make a good script for this. I was using Lilac Soul's script editor, but couldn't get it to work right... then I found this script on the NWN wiki, but I can't figure out how to 'fill it in'.

Thank you in advance for your help!

// This script goes into the On Click script for the
// area transition trigger. Some people click on
// AT triggers.
//
void main()
{
// Assign the variables
object oPC = GetClickingObject();
object oWP = GetWaypointByTag("WP_AT_NEWAREA");
object oWP1 = GetWaypointByTag("WP_AT_OLDAREA");
int iVar1 = GetLocalInt(GetModule(), "iVar");
// Now we test to make sure at iVar1 is what you need to
// go into the new area. If it isn't, you go to the old.
if (iVar1 != number)
{
    AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToObject(oWP1));
}
else
{
    AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToObject(oWP));
}
}

               Try something like this:

void main()
{
// Assign the variables
object oPC = GetClickingObject();
object oWP1 = GetWaypointByTag("Waypoint Tag 1 here");
object oWP2 = GetWaypointByTag("Waypoint Tag 2 here");
int iVar = GetLocalInt(oPC, "NW_JOURNAL_ENTRY" + "Journal Entry Here");

if (iVar == 1)
    {
    AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToObject(oWP1));
    }
else if (iVar == 2)
    {
    AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToObject(oWP2));
    }
}

You will need to fill in/change a couple things:
-  Enter the name of the journal/quest tag where it says "Journal Entry Here"
- Change the 1 to the appropriate value for the quest state where is says "if (iVar == 1)" (Area 1 transition)
- Change the 2 to the appropriate value for the quest state where is says "if (iVar == 2)" ((Area 2 transition)

Lastly my usual self promotion - my tutorial linked in sig below is aimed at the novice scripter and may be of help to you.

               THANK YOU! And thanks for the quick reply!



The transition works perfectly now! I'd spent 2 days on this... bless you!
