ondeath help wanted

[Legacy_Wawmong]

               

hello

 

I'm looking for a bit of help with a small mod i've been working on.

 

What i'm trying to do is create a custom ondeath that auto raises players, jumps them to another area, creates a grave stone where they died then allows players to jump back to their grave stone from a convo. I managed to create the auto raise and have players being sent to another area, i only need help with the last two scripts.

 

Any help would be nice, the mod is almost completed...

 

i know the vault would have something like this but the site is down, otherwise i'd look.

 

thanks

You could SetLocalLocation() on the player, and for the tombstone just CreateObject() at that location. The conversation could then jump the player to that location if they choose.

The new vault is still available, incidentally.

alright so i have the gravestone being created at time of death but i'm unsure how to script SetLocalLocation() on the player.

 

i'm really terrible at scripting, sorry.

i meant to say i dont know how to jump the player to back to the gravestone...

 

i did figure out SetLocalLocation though...

 

location lLoc = GetLocation(oLooser);

SetLocalLocation(oLooser, "RECALL_LOC1", lLoc);

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, "gravestone_1",lLoc);

i can jump them to the placeable but how do i make the location they jump to unique for each player?

If each player is getting their own gravestone, then jumping them to the correct gravestone is the only thing you need. Two options:

 

1: store the created gravestone as a local object on the PC (just like you did with the location), then get and jump to that from the dialog.

2: just jump to the local location that you already stored and created the gravestone at.

here is what i made for the unused of a portal, after adding AssignCommand(oPC, ActionJumpToLocation(loc_gs,TRUE)); the script doesnt compile. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong please?

 

void main()

 {

object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();

location loc_gs = GetLocalLocation(OBJECT_SELF,"RECALL_LOC1");

//object oLastspeak = GetLastSpeaker();

effect eTeleport1 = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_MYSTICAL_EXPLOSION);

effect eTeleport2 = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_SCREEN_SHAKE);



if (GetLocalInt(oPC,"SPAWN_1") == 0)

{

FloatingTextStringOnCreature("You have no gravestone", oPC, FALSE);

return;

}

if (GetLocalInt(oPC,"SPAWN_1") == 1)

{


ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eTeleport1, oPC);

ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eTeleport2, oPC);


//DelayCommand(1.5, AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToObject(GetObjectByTag("Gravestone_1"))));

AssignCommand(oPC, ActionJumpToLocation(loc_gs,TRUE));

SetLocalInt(oPC, "SPAWN_1", 0);

return;

}

}

               Just remove the TRUE parameter from ActionJumpToLocation().
 
Also, you'll want to change the first parameter on this line...

location loc_gs = GetLocalLocation(OBJECT_SELF,"RECALL_LOC1");

... to this:

location loc_gs = GetLocalLocation(oPC,"RECALL_LOC1");

Because the location is stored on the PC (I'd assume, anyway. otherwise everyone is jumping to the same location).

sorry, one last question. im using DestroyObject in my module ondeath event, to destroy the gravestone on a delay. its not working, and im wondering which script handle on the placeable besides heartbeat i could place this so it gets deleted?

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Wawmong]

               

this is what im using in my ondeath for this issue. doesn't work though...

 

object gravestone1 = GetObjectByTag ("Gravestone_1");

DelayCommand(70.0, DestroyObject(gravestone1));

thanks for the help everyone.
