I wrote script that when the PC talks to a certain npc it gives the PC some items.Now my question is what do I need to add to the script that makes it so the npc only give the items once(please keep in mind this is the first script I have made that works,and I am very new to writing program). here is my simple script :) :

void main()
{
object oPC = GetFirstPC();
CreateItemOnObject("ejmrobe21",oPC);
CreateItemOnObject("ejmrobe22",oPC);
CreateItemOnObject("ejmrobe23",oPC);
CreateItemOnObject("ejmrobe24",oPC);
}

void main()
{
int Check = GetGlobalNumber("CHECK_VAR"); // create a variable called Check
if (Check != 99) // if the check variable is not 99, then do the following lines.
//note: 99 is just an arbitrary number that I pick
{
object oPC = GetFirstPC();
CreateItemOnObject("ejmrobe21",oPC);
CreateItemOnObject("ejmrobe22",oPC);
CreateItemOnObject("ejmrobe23",oPC);
CreateItemOnObject("ejmrobe24",oPC);
SetGlobalNumber("CHECK_VAR", 99); // sets the check variable to 99 to prevent
//the items being given again the next time around
}
}

That should do it. Also you have to edit the file globalcat.2da and add this line. This line will initialize the Global Number called "CHECK_VAR". Global Numbers, unlike local variable such as oPC and Check, will stay in the game even after you quit the game and come back in.

1185 CHECK_VAR Number

Thanks for the quik reply gameunlimited, That worked perfectly. Accept is there a way to do it without editing globalcat.2da as in useing one of the others that are there or are they script specific.

Don't go to any trouble though, just asking if you know off the top of your head.
That script did the trick. Thanks

You certainly can use the ones already there. They are not script specific. However, they might be used for some other part of the game, and playing around with them might screw up the story. Maybe you can use the ones that are for certain not gonna be used again like those variables used in Taris or Endar Spire.

Im bit late, but i got the game "late" *g

Its very easy to plant Items in the Game in exsisting Boxes/Footlookers.

All u have to do is to edit the .UTP Files.

I want myself to get my selfmade clothes
g_a_clothes10.uti

in a box on the endire spire.

Use Kotor Tool open RIMS-->Modules
and search for the Node in our case
i found this

end-m01aa_s.rim
Blueprint, Placeables

Here is a list of placable objects/items in the game.

footlker003.utp is the footlooker in the room on the endire spire
where u have left a box and right these footloker. There also two Siths and this dead republic soldier to the right when u enter.

Wenn u open the .utp file with GFF Editor u simple need to add your .uti files under "itemlist" and not forget to set the reposposXsetting

Im sure here u can can add also more opponents with this things..

Well im late with this, but maybe for kotor2 we can use the same tools so we have this thing.

There is no need for a script to add static objects.

the problem with changing th utp file is it changes ALL files with that name

i changed the footlocker1 utp , tyhats the one trask tells you to open , i then forgot to remove it fromt he override folder and stuffed up a couple of bits later one

the lockers in the lower city or taris in particular , the one with the holograms and the one with the letter from home in particular , they had the items i put in the ender spire footlocker because those footlockers also used the footlocker1 utp file
