Something to add please...

Hello hello! 

 

Here I got yet another question I was wondering about!

 

Here I got this script:

 

void main()

{

    object oTarget;

    object oSpawn;

 

    // Get the creature who triggered this event.

    object oPC = GetEnteringObject();

 

    // Only fire for (real) PCs.

    if ( !GetIsPC(oPC)  ||  GetIsDMPossessed(oPC) )

        return;

 

    // Abort if the PC is not exactly at stage 11 of journal quest "p012".

    if ( GetLocalInt(oPC, "NW_JOURNAL_ENTRYp012") != 11 )

        return;

 

    // Spawn "creature014".

    oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("WP_ELVIRAGHOST");

    oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "creature014", GetLocation(oTarget));

}

 

 

So here is my question then!

 

Is it possible to put a check in there that if the npc is already spawned in there won't be another spawned in till its dead or after an ammount of time?

This should work, just fill in the NPC's real tag where noted.

 

 

void main()


{


object oTarget;


object oSpawn;




// Get the creature who triggered this event.


object oPC = GetEnteringObject();




// Only fire for (real) PCs.


if ( !GetIsPC(oPC) || GetIsDMPossessed(oPC) )


return;




// Abort if the PC is not exactly at stage 11 of journal quest "p012".


if ( GetLocalInt(oPC, "NW_JOURNAL_ENTRYp012") != 11 )


return;




// Spawn "creature014".

if (GetNearestObjectByTag("replace_with_NPC's_tag")!= OBJECT_INVALID)

{

oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("WP_ELVIRAGHOST");

oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "creature014", GetLocation(oTarget));

}

return;

}

Isn't that checking to see if the npc IS there?  Meaning it will only spawn the npc if another npc with the same tag is already there?

Yeah, sorry. "if (GetNearestObjectByTag("replace_with_NPC's_tag")!= OBJECT_INVALID)" should instead be "if (GetNearestObjectByTag("replace_with_NPC's_tag")== OBJECT_INVALID)". I'd sent the correction to the OP over a Skype chat and din't think to post back here. '>
