To minimise the chance that the party will lose items, make sure there are no other items (or at least, as few as possible) in the same town as the party when they die. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Turning the party to stone and back instead of killing them worked in BoE, but I think that in BoA that still produces a sound effect.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, October 8 2005 05:02 Profile Homepage #30 I am almost certain that no such call exists. Why would you want to know this, anyway? Trying to create a duplicate of a party member or something? (Of course, one way around it is to provide a premade party for your scenario, in which case you know what graphics they have.)

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, October 8 2005 05:09 Profile Homepage #32 If you provide a premade party, the player shouldn't change anything about it. They can, but they're not supposed to, and if they don't honour your polite request that they refrain from doing so, well, that's not your fault. :P -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Saturday, October 8 2005 05:23 Profile Homepage #33 I'm still wondering about the premade party. You define the items a premade party has, don't you? Well, if so, then you can always take their items and put in the town where it all happens some boxes where you yourself store the same items. This could work, couldn't it? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

(Of course, one way around it is to provide a premade party for your scenario, in which case you know what graphics they have.) I just wanted it for a very simple "he/she" text in the append_string thing. I don't want to have a pre-made party, cause that eliminates my monster changes level along with party script. Anyway, thanks for all of your help. If there isn't a call I'll have to go without. I've nearly finished the scripting for town 10 (Baron Effek's dungeon). But it's slow going, and I haven't started on the dialogue yet. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Sunday, October 9 2005 03:39 Profile Homepage #37 Guys, Is there a way (hopefully not too complicated) to make the random_party_member() call NOT select a character already taken by one of these calls. Example: a = random_party_member(); b = random_party_member(); c = random_party_member(); d = random_party_member(); Elizabeth is A. I don't want Elizabeth to be B,C or D. Those I want for say. Rachel, Rupert and Furball. So each of these random_party_member() calls can select 1 character, but they can't select a character alredy selected. Does this make any sense? :( Also, Kel, I'll probably be using your "Shaking Screeen" script for in this cutscene. - Archmagus Micael [ Sunday, October 09, 2005 03:39: Message edited by: Archmagus Micael ] -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, October 9 2005 04:17 Profile Homepage #38 Note that the above script accounts for the possibility that the party has fewer than 4 members; if the script runs out of new party members to select, all variables after that point are set to -1. If there are NPCs in the party, the script may randomly select NPCs. You can avoid this by making sure the number of the party member selected is less than 4. I think I'll submit a slightly prettified version of this script to the Codex, if you don't mind. It seems like the sort of thing that could be useful to other people.

That's what I normally do, but Thuryl's code seems to do it differently, so I thought that I might as well do it as Thuryl's example shows. As it is, I think I'll just have to wait for Thuryl to post a reply anyway. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, October 9 2005 13:26 Profile Homepage #42 Added brackets to all of the while loops. You probably could have done that yourself, but oh well. You emphatically do not need a break statement at the end of state 10. It's supposed to continue on to the next state. This works fine as long as the next state in the script is the state you want to run next. But just to appease you, I've added a completely pointless set_state_continue and break statement.

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Sunday, October 9 2005 22:21 Profile Homepage #43 I myself would always add them, although it maybe isn't necessary, just for the sake of my own understanding of it all. If I wouldn't do it, I would probably get confused to no end. However, now that I looked in the docs, I understand why it isn't necessary. I'll still put those breaks in, though. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

I was wondering whether it needed a few of these: { or not, but I always thought the game refered to those as parenthesis, not brackets. Anyhow, I think I'll leave it without the break in, just cause it looks nicer like that. Thanks!
