[SCRIPT] Show Object description On Used

Hello,this is my first time with d'jinni, And i'm trying to understand how it works.I simply add TnZ's script to show the description of an objet in OnUsed and turn Useable to TRUE#include "inc_gui"void main(){ ShowObjectDescription(OBJECT_SELF);}Hit F7 compileso D'jinni save the script in neverwinter script source. ok...I launch the module, and when I click on placeable, console told me Couldn't load NCS nameofthescriptI know it's probably simple... :'(

Did it compile properly, did a file nameofthescript.ncs get created?

@ jbaudrandI did the same and the compiler said me "file not found" (inc_gui), so I put in OnUsed the original script "sg_tooltips", and it works! The object that has to show the description needs a Tag.bye

Every time you save or compile an NSS script, be very careful to watch the log (bottom window) for compiler messages. Anything in red means there's something wrong and your script will NOT work.

thanks Ailinion and Nandusso to try to help me!!alinion: I hit F7 but the script remains a .nss files not .ncs ??? I think you put the finger on my problem.. and I still can't figure why it doesn't work...Nandusso: your answer make me think I probably miss something important, I can't find "sg_tooltips" in the list of available script... maybe it's because the script is in the bif stuff? did you unbif game ressource?

 

[ailinon]

jbaudrand, what error message appears in your "Aurora Log" window? There must be something that the compiler tripped over.Also, for nonexistent scripts - you may unbif them, they're there, but you may also use names of non-unbiffed scripts, the game will find them when needed.

Nandusso: your answer make me think I probably miss something important, I can't find "sg_tooltips" in the list of available script... maybe it's because the script is in the bif stuff? did you unbif game ressource?

Yes, I unbiffed them to see the name of the files, and in fact I didn't find among the ncs scripts the file "inc_gui".bye.. at least I remember so, because for the moment my game installation is "out of order"...

 

[jbaudrand]

Ailinon:yes the script is saved in nss because compiling doesn't work, here's a snapshot:the aurora log says:ERREUR FICHIER INTROUVABLE=ERROR FILE NOT FOUND:/ what is the path c:/docs/.../thewitcher/temp/_ressourceunpacktmp? Why it's not saved in d: like the game?As you can see I just copy and paste the script from TnZ, I probably miss something (as a newbie)...Nandusso: So, it's not required to extract them to use them, that's great, but... is there an index of all biffed scripts somewhere?

 

[ailinon]

The documents and settings path is where your currently edited module is temporarily saved."inc_gui" is missing and it's a known problem. Just use this instead:void main(){ string sTag = GetTag(OBJECT_SELF); string sOperation = "displayTooltipForObject('"+sTag+"')"; RunClientLua(sOperation);}That's what that function was supposed to do, anyway.-- Sinus

 

[jbaudrand]

thanks I'll try it tonight!!!

 

[jbaudrand]

Thanks Ailinon!! it works, I have this simple question:Where did you learn scripting? is there a manual somewhere?I let the code here for other one who want to use it AND find it easily: [script] Show object's Description when left click on it (must be placed in OnUsed)

void main(){  string sTag = GetTag(OBJECT_SELF);  string sOperation = "displayTooltipForObject('"+sTag+"')";  RunClientLua(sOperation);}

 

[ailinon]

The game files themselves have a ton of information to be learned from them, if you dig deep enough. Of course, there's been a significant amount of RED help over at the Polish forums.

 

[Gamewidow]

i really wish some of that help would migrate over here

 

[ailinon]

Some of it does ^^; Ask and ye shall receive, at least if I'm available ;P
