Claim: Unfinished AI and NPCs

[Deeza]

As you are all probably aware, I have just finished a large batch of interiors. In my haste I left out a lot of NPCs, mainly because when I've really got into placing objects, fiddling with stats really breaks my flow. Anyway, here is a list of all the interiors that have NPCs without AI or dialogue:

---

[/HR]

IG's Note - Please bear in mind that any Imperials that are added are now subject to Django's Unique Features. Check the faces of any Imperials you create and you should find various effects that will help towards showing visible signs of BM's many diseases. The only way to ensure that an effect is applied permanently is to click the 'lock age' tickbox. You may wish to avoid these ages for some characters. The following ages are affected:

• Male Imperials aged 25, 35, 45 and 48.
  
• Female Imperials aged 22, 32, 38 and 45.

Cheers for the list, Deeza. We can sort these out in time, np. I quite like creating NPCs now. It's just the AI that can be a pain in the ass at times...

[Ibsen's Ghost]

I'm going to make a start on this now. I'll begin with the AI only. I'll need to revisit it again for the dialogue but, as DZ describes above, it helps with the flow, I think.

Btw Deeza, could you make a little more use of the custom clothing, please? It seems that most of the NPCs you have here are kitted out in vanilla stuff. It's okay if vanilla stuff suits the NPC though, of course.

Edit - I don't have much time left tonight but I'll keep a record and edit as I go:

Dulu Gra-Duluk - AI complete.
Samia Lorchel - AI complete.

NB - I still haven't got the hang of the scripts that need to be applied to Inn owners and merchants. I basically haven't had time to look into it long enough to learn. I did one for the Tenmar Wall Lodge but it didn't work properly. Consequently, I'm going to avoid 'service providers' for the time being and stick to ordinary civilians.

You don't need scripts for merchants, they just require an extra step or two during the setup to make them work

This maybe of some use to you or others that are unsure how to set them up.

[Ibsen's Ghost]

Excellent, IS! Thanks a lot! I added the link to this essential post: NPC Creation . There's a tutorial on dialogue up there (in the interiors claims section) that I'll eventually check through for myself so I can finish this too for these claims.

[Ibsen's Ghost]

I'm gradually making my way through these. Btw IS, do you happen to know how you set up an Innkeeper script? I was going to have Bodean Altragel as an Innkeeper of a particularly shoddy hostel but the last time I created an Innkeeper (at the Hunter's Lodge at Tenmar Wall) I needed help from someone to create a script. I can't remember who that was but it didn't work properly and I haven't revisited it since.

I do remember that you need to reference the door to the relevant room or something though and to make sure that everything who needs to has the keys. If you have a sort of editable template then I can continue to re-use it and I'll zip through these claims much quicker.

[InsanitySorrow]

I've not made any Inn Keepers for a while, but I'm sure I could work up a scirpt template for it

Everything else will need setup first though, Ie Interior, NPC ect

Edit: Made a quick edit of the one on the CS wiki.

Code:

;=============================
;Name: Inn Keeper Template
;Version: 1.0

;Scriptname

Scriptname aaISInnTemplateScript

;=============================
;Variables

    If (SetRefs == 0)
        Set InnBed to
        Set InnDoor to    
        Set InnCell to        
        Set InnKeeper to
                Set SetRefs to 1
    Endif

    If ( Renting  == 1 )
        If ( DoOnce == 0 )        
            Set RentDay to GameDaysPassed
            Set DoOnce to 1
            InnDoor.unlock
            InnBed.SetOwnership
        Else
            If ( GameDaysPassed != RentDay)
                   Set Reset to 1
            Endif
        Endif

        If (Player.GetinCell InnCell == 0)
            If ( Reset == 1 )
                   Set Reset to 2
            Endif
        Endif

        If ( Reset == 2 )
            Set Renting to 0                        
            Set DoOnce to 0                        
            Set RentDay to 0
            Set Reset to 0
            InnDoor.SetOpenState 0
            InnDoor.lock 30
            InnBed.SetOwnership InnKeeper
        Endif
Endif
End
;=============================
;End Script
;=============================

Simply edit these lines to add your references:


Set InnBed to
Set InnDoor to
Set InnCell to
Set InnKeeper to

Just add the Persistant references after the To part, For the InnCell it's your cells name

Thanks a lot, IS! :goodjob: That cuts down the phobia I was developing about this part of the claim. I added a link to your post here: NPC Creation and will probably develop a more step-by-step guide for those who use this after me once I get more experienced.

[InsanitySorrow]

Let me know how/if it works and we'll adjust as needed :goodjob:, I edited it to make it as simple as possible so hopefully that will help those who are unsure about the script
