he, I'm writing this REALLY COOL and GOOD.... Well, at least I think its REALLY COOL and GOOD!!! as for my question, does somebody know the item number of the orb of Thralni? I need it for the scenario. The problem is also that I can not find a list of items like these. if there is a way to get into the Avernum 3 scripts, I could possibly get this crucial item number. your kind and friendly steward on this flight of KLM is....

There isn't an Orb of Thralni in the default item selection, but you can make one yourself. Create a custom item with ability 213, and give it a strength of about 5. (683) Posts: 726 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

You can also use the Orb of Flight out of the Custom Objects Script Base. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

thanks to all who have replied, I'm very grateful. (By the way, I'm using this call: move_to_new_town But it need 4 things after it, like this: move_to_new_town(Probably town number, a number, a number, a number); I already figured out that the first number is the town number. I think that two of the other three are probably x and y coordinates. the last number I really don't know. if you ever used this call, could you explain me how to do it? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

You know, the editor comes with documentation. You can look up any of the calls in the Appendices. quote:So as you can see, it only needs 3 arguments, not 4. The first, as you said, is the town number, and the next two are the X and Y coordinates to move the party to. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

And then there's also the BoA Script Reference, which I find much easier to use because it allows me to scroll and use the back button to get to a master list.

It duplicates all the information in the Appendices, occasionally edited by people like me in order to make it more clear. People don't edit it as much as they should. Some of the writing in the Appendices is pretty terrible. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I wanted to ask this, because I didn't really understand the docs: Does the call teleport_party also function when you want the party to teleport nit to a different location in the same town, but to another town? If not, which call should I use? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

The call teleport_party doesn't have a parameter for a new town, so no, you can't use it for that purpose. Use the call that you've already mentioned, move_to_new_town. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

A word of warning: move_to_new_town can ONLY be called by stepping into a special rectangle (the things that show up as blue rectangles in the editor). You can't call it from a terrain script, a creature script, the START_STATE, or anything else. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thanks, now I know more about the teleportation calls. there remains just one thing. if I use the call move_to_new_town, can I have a teleportation flash? Do i have to add extra calls like put_effect_on_char and run_sound 9or something like that)? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Since there are no parameters for it within move_to_new_town, you will need extra calls for that sort of thing. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

the ones that have read my questions, can conclude that I'm not a hero in scripting. now i encounter another annoying problem. I searched in the docs and found something about my problem, but I didn't quite get it. My problem: I have this cave, which appears only when a SDF flag is set to 1. I used the call set_town_visibility(7,1) (Town 7 will be visible). Now i don't know ere to write this call. In the docs this is explained in the chapter about editing towns. So do I put it in the townscript of town 7, or in an other script? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Okay, if you want to hide a town for part of the game and then show it at another point in time, you have to get in the Editor, open up the "Town Details" box, look on the right side, and find "Town is Hidden". Set that to one. Then, at the point in your scenario where you want the party to learn of the town's existence, put the call, "set_town_visibility(townx,1);", where townx is the town the party discovers. -------------------- quote: Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |

So I don't put it in the townscript or whatever script, but, let's say that the party when talking to someone learns about the place where it is, I put the call set_town_visibility In the talking node where the party learns about this. Did i gor this straight? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

Yes. Put the call in the place where you want it to happen. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

just wanted to say thanks to kelandon... and bug you with another question. I try to put beam projectors. how do I get those things on directly when the party enters the twon where the beam projectors are (so how does the power source automaticaly switch on upon enetring town) and how can the party manually turn the beam projectors of. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Beam projectors are a problem. I would advise against trying to do anything fancy with them. That said, turn them on by putting a lit power source (terrain number 384) next to one and going to Town Details, and under Advanced Details, setting Beam Type to 1 or 2. The beam from a projector will turn off when the power source next to it turns off, which it will never do on its own. You must always use a call to do this. You could put the specobj script on it and then pop up a dialog asking if the party wanted to turn of the projector, and if so, call a set_terrain to change the terrain to 388, for instance. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I have looked in the docs. i searched the forum. Still, I can't find a way, to put a costum item in the resource file "terrain graphics." Now I think of it, can I actually modify this resource file? (I hope you can, because I would have no clue of how to let the editor know that I have a costum terrain type I want to put in the scenario). And I really didn't find anything about this in the docs! :confused: -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

You're not supposed to modify the game's resources. You need to create a custom graphics file -- check out Section 4 of the editor documentation. To make custom terrains and items that appear in the game, though, you also need a custom objects script -- check out Chapter 2.2 of the editor documentation. The best way to learn how to do things you're unsure of is to poke around inside the folders of existing scenarios by other people, and see how they work.
