Rabid Pigs Eating A Wolf Warrior Member # 5086	written Thursday, October 14 2004 16:07 Profile Homepage #0 Two questions, for now... 1. Is there a call to change a graphic for a character. For example, if I wanted to change PC #1 (Character 0) to a different graphic is this possible? (Second Possibility) while defining a creature, is it possible to use if statements such as if (get_flag(0,0) == FALSE) { cr_which_sheet = 1234; } if (get_flag(0,0) == TRUE { cr_which_sheet = 4321; } EDIT: Are the creature statistics only loaded once a scenario? or every new town? or battle? Anyone know how that works? ???? 2. Is it possible to make a scenario check a seperate saved game at a given point (not a given point in the saved game, at a given point in the current scenario) to see if a SDF is true or false? (taking for granted that that saved game would be in that scenario currently) [ Thursday, October 14, 2004 16:13: Message edited by: Rabid Pigs Eating A Wolf ] -------------------- I love stupid people acting smart...

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, October 14 2004 18:17 Profile Homepage #1 To the best of my knowledge, 1 is not possible. I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about in 2, but it doesn't sound possible either. EDIT: More detail on 1. As far as I know, you can only use cr_which_sheet in your custom objects script, which is loaded when the scenario starts.

Rabid Pigs Eating A Wolf Warrior Member # 5086	written Thursday, October 14 2004 18:56 Profile Homepage #2 By #2 I mean: if I have a scenario made, and then make another one that is supposed to take place after it, is it possible to check a SDF from the previous scenario? EDIT: That is, if there is a saved game that is currently in the last scenario. Or, for that matter, is there any way to check ANYTHING from a previous scenario??? Oh and BTW, The entire reopening of an old discussion, I just saw the most recently posted thing, and replied to the wish list [ Thursday, October 14, 2004 19:03: Message edited by: Rabid Pigs Eating A Wolf ] -------------------- I love stupid people acting smart...

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, October 14 2004 19:26 Profile Homepage #3 No, you can't check an SDF from a previous scenario. As far as the other thread goes, my main point was that the posts were all from two years ago and clearly no longer relevant. EDIT: You may be able to pull some black magic where you check an item from a previous scenario, but I'm not sure if this would accomplish anything.

Rabid Pigs Eating A Wolf Warrior Member # 5086	written Friday, October 15 2004 08:14 Profile Homepage #7 PC, not monster. So, for example, If I had a random scenario that changed a character to a demonic human (garzhad style) and wanted to force a change graphic, then is there a possible way to do that? -------------------- I love stupid people acting smart...

Dahak Infiltrator Member # 148	written Friday, October 15 2004 12:29 Profile #11 Why would anyone want to change a PC's graphic? If you were a PC, would you want the DM to change your graphic at will? In regards to #2. Yes, it WOULD be nice to check SDF's. But how do you differentiate scenarios successfully? Also, if you did this, how do you tell the difference between scenario #1 0,0 SDF and secnario #2 0,0 SDF? BoA is desgined so that the player has SOME control, and scenarios DO NOT interfere with each other. It is a headache to create a system of compatible scenarios without massive cooperation for the various designers. A thought: Jeff could assign an ID to each scenario to tell them apart. But if a scenario is never submitted to Jeff, but released via a homepage... -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00

Khoth Post Navel Trauma ^_^ Member # 67	written Sunday, October 17 2004 07:29 Profile Homepage #13 There are reasons why we might want to (temporarily) change the graphic of a PC. If you only need it for a cutscene, you could fake it by moving the PCs out of the way and replacing them with monsters that have the new graphics. If you need it for more than that, I can't think of a way, but there might well be one. And even if you can't change a PC into a demon, you might well be able to add a demonic aura with suitable trickery. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.
