Drinking script

Drinking script

In my module I often have the following Situation.Geralt talks to someone. Then the conversation view ends, Geralt and the npc he is talking to drink and the conversation continues. I tried the script from shani's party. But Geralt just gets drunk. So I tried making an own script.void main(){ object OPC = GetFirstPC(); object OCHARACTER = GetObjectByTag("..."); ActionPauseConversation(); AssignCommand(OPC, PlayAnimation(113, 1.0)); AssignCommand(OCHARACTER, PlayAnimation(113, 1.0)); SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(OCHARACTER)+10, OCHARACTER); SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(OPC)+10, OPC); ActionResumeConversation();}But this do not work too. So could someone give or make me a working script?

I gave Simon a nudge to look at your file ... hopefully he can spot the problemapparently you need to use ClearAllActions() before you use ActionPauseConversation() to clear the event queue ... that's all i can seeEdit: hubby mentioned that it's also possible that the initial value of the "drunk state" is not what you think it is and that adding 10 to it may not be achieving what you think it does ... you could add some code to print out what the value is before you change it.

OK, I haven't done anything like this. But what I have done is action scripts which run when a conversation ends, which start a new conversation. What I'd be inclined to do is: have the thing that Geralt or the NPC says immediately before they drink a terminal node, obviously with an action script on it, and then

void main(){	object OPC = GetFirstPC();	object OCHARACTER = GetObjectByTag("character_tag");		AssignCommand(OPC, PlayAnimation(113, 1.0));	AssignCommand(OCHARACTER, PlayAnimation(113, 1.0));		SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(OCHARACTER)+10, OCHARACTER);	SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(OPC)+10, OPC);		DelayCommand( 5.0f, AssignCommand( OCHARACTER, ActionStartConversation( OPC, "", FALSE)));}

I have tested this, it works for me here. The key point is to delay the re-entry into the conversation until the animation has had a chance to play, so your PauseConversation()... ResumeConversation(0 might also work provided you wrap a DelayCommand() around the resume. If you do it my way - ending and restarting the conversation - then obviously you will need to set a dialogue flag, and test for it on re-entry, so that the conversation flows smoothly.On stylistic points, it's often conventional to use all upper case characters for constant names rather than for variable names, and to use a lowercase letter for at least the initial letter of variable names, with the rest either all lowers or camel case. What you are doing is not wrong, but you will probably find it easier to communicate with other programmers if you had

void main(){	object oPlayer = GetFirstPC();	object oCharacter = GetObjectByTag("character_tag");		AssignCommand(oPlayer , PlayAnimation(113, 1.0));	AssignCommand(oCharacter , PlayAnimation(113, 1.0));		SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(oCharacter )+10, oCharacter );	SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(oPlayer )+10, oPlayer );		DelayCommand( 5.0f, AssignCommand( oCharacter , ActionStartConversation( oPlayer , "", FALSE)));}

It works partial. The npc does not drink when he is walking to the next action point during the conversation break. Geralt also stops drinking, when he walk during this break.

Could you post the mod somewhere I could download it, and give me a walkthrough path which takes me to the bit that's going wrong?

No. ^^Uploading this huge mod just because of this tiny script, for that I need just one little command that avoids Geralt and Zoltan from moving for 3 seconds?I will not show my mod to anyone except my translator till it is finished.

It is only a guess (like all i write here

At the moment I use this script. It works great, except that Geralt can still walk, when he should drink.#include "inc_dialog"void main(){ object OPC = GetFirstPC(); object OCHARACTER = GetObjectByTag("c217"); AssignCommand (OPC, ClearAllActions(1)); AssignCommand (OCHARACTER, ClearAllActions(1)); AssignCommand(OPC, ActionWait(3.0)); AssignCommand(OCHARACTER, ActionWait(3.0)); AssignCommand(OPC, PlayAnimation(113, 2.0)); AssignCommand(OCHARACTER, PlayAnimation(113, 2.0)); SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(OPC)+10, OPC ); SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(OCHARACTER)+10, OCHARACTER ); DelayCommand(2.0, TeleportAndTalk(OCHARACTER));}

Try to set Cutscene mode, it should paralyze Geralt.#include "inc_dialog"void main(){ object OPC = GetFirstPC(); object OCHARACTER = GetObjectByTag("c217"); SetCutsceneMode(OPC, TRUE); AssignCommand (OPC, ClearAllActions(1)); AssignCommand (OCHARACTER, ClearAllActions(1)); AssignCommand(OPC, ActionWait(3.0)); AssignCommand(OCHARACTER, ActionWait(3.0)); AssignCommand(OPC, PlayAnimation(113, 2.0)); AssignCommand(OCHARACTER, PlayAnimation(113, 2.0)); SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(OPC)+10, OPC ); SetCurrentDrunkState(GetCurrentDrunkState(OCHARACTER)+10, OCHARACTER ); DelayCommand(2.0, SetCutsceneMode(OPC, FALSE)); DelayCommand(2.0, TeleportAndTalk(OCHARACTER));}
