Surrender script?

[Legacy_TrekSL]

               OK, I'm being a plonker - all I want to do during a fight is get the opposing npc to switch faction to the player again and 'yield' by starting a conversation after he's lost some health... Unfortunately, he fights to the death... what have I done wrong??

               suspect I've gone blind. Spent an hour looking in the lexicon for something like that!

               There is also the SetIsTemporaryFriend function which can be set to either a limited amount of time or permanent. And I suspect, though I may be wrong, that with either of these functions it is possible to kill the NPC before they get to be friendly. So you might want to make sure their "immortal" box is checked.

               How does one get the functionality of SurrenderToEnemies but for less time than 3 minutes?

               I have not had much success with SetIsTemporaryFriend ending combat. I'll try some more experiments.

I dont think it stops combat.   If you do not Clear the actions of the Characters involved,  They will still wack each other.   In that case the rep wil most likely get adjusted right back to hostile.  That would be my guess anyway.

You will need to do a ClearAllActions(TRUE);, for both the player and the NPC, at the same time. As well as any of the players henchmen etc. It's not nearly as simple as using the function Lightfoot suggested. But if you need a specific amount of time this might be the way to go.

               Thanks. I'll fiddle more with this. I had only been clearing all actions for the NPC. Perhaps that was my problem. It would be good to figure this out and create a custom function that I can use to replace the surrender function.

               FYI - this seems to work with one enemy present


SetCommandable(TRUE, oPC);
SetCommandable(TRUE, oEnemy);
AssignCommand(oPC, ClearAllActions(TRUE));
SetIsTemporaryFriend(oEnemy, oPC, TRUE, fTime);
AssignCommand(oEnemy, ClearAllActions(TRUE));
SetIsTemporaryFriend(oPC, oEnemy, TRUE, fTime);


But the full function is failing, and I can't find the error.

               This is what I came up with. Tested and seems to be working fine. There might be a better way to do it though. Hopefully it can help you.


void StopFactionCombat(object oPC, object oEnemy)
{
    int iNth = 1;
    object oCombatant = GetNearestCreature(CREATURE_TYPE_IS_ALIVE, TRUE, oPC, iNth);
    object oMember;
    while (GetIsObjectValid(oCombatant))
    {
        if (GetFactionEqual(oEnemy, oCombatant))
        {
            oMember = GetFirstFactionMember(oPC, FALSE);
            while (GetIsObjectValid(oMember))
            {
                if (GetCurrentAction(oMember) == ACTION_ATTACKOBJECT)
                AssignCommand(oMember, ClearAllActions(TRUE));
                if (GetCurrentAction(oCombatant) == ACTION_ATTACKOBJECT)
                AssignCommand(oCombatant, ClearAllActions(TRUE));
                SetIsTemporaryFriend(oMember, oCombatant, FALSE);
                oMember = GetNextFactionMember(oPC, FALSE);
            }
        }
        iNth++;
        oCombatant = GetNearestCreature(CREATURE_TYPE_IS_ALIVE, TRUE, oPC, iNth);
    }
}
void main()
{
    object oPC = GetLastDamager(OBJECT_SELF);
    object oEnemy = OBJECT_SELF;
    if (GetCurrentHitPoints(OBJECT_SELF) < 4)
    StopFactionCombat(oPC, oEnemy);
}


P.S. Using the GetFirst/NextFactionMember functions works fine for single player as well since associates are considered faction members.

               Thanks GoG.

You did not use GetNearestEnemy as I did. Rather you are simply going through all nearby creatures. Is there something wrong with the GetNearestEnemy function?

Curious as to your thinking here.

               Honestly, I just didn't know there was a "GetNearestEnemy" function. I've never used it. I just tried to look for it in nw_i0_generic and can't find it though it is on the list of functions.
