Thanks. Well i dont think it works...
but it just might , just open the forces in a scripting program and you'll see it might take alot of workk or less .. i dunno
You can also make the forces repeatly over and over again , require some scripting tough :)
You could apply a shield effect permanently, like ajunta pall in the tomb on Korriban. There is a red shield in the game. You would only need a simple script but right now i'm in the office so I can't give you all the details.

Exactly what i found when i was looking ... maybe darth_tomer you should do something like this .. im sure i would enjoy it aswell others.
Here's a script that should work, though I haven't tested it myself yet.
You could attach this to a dialog or make it into an armband if you were so inclined.
void main() {
/****************************************
shazam.nss:
Turn on/off a peramanent visual effect
Strategy: first check to see if PC has
an effect that is:
1) Permananent
2) Visual
3) Supernatural subtype
if so, then remove it
if not, then add it
by tk102 6-15-04
****************************************/
object oPC=GetFirstPC();
// check to see if effect is ON, if so turn it OFF
effect eCheck = GetFirstEffect(oPC);
while (GetIsEffectValid(eCheck)) {
if (
(GetEffectDurationType(eCheck) ==DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT) &&
(GetEffectType(eCheck)==EFFECT_TYPE_VISUAL) &&
(GetEffectSubType(eCheck)==SUBTYPE_SUPERNATURAL)
) {
RemoveEffect(oPC, eCheck);
return;
}
eCheck=GetNextEffect(oPC);
}
// not ON, so turn it ON
effect eRedShield = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_SHIELD_RED_01);
eRedShield = SupernaturalEffect(eRedShield);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eRedShield, oPC);
return;
}
Thanks Tk :) Hmmm I sometimes wonder if you have Kotor with you at work...you certainly keep nwscript.nss not too far... :D

With this script, my character will be with red shield even if i move areas? and how can i make this script into an armband?

Go to Create Custom Item by t7nowhere and then add the script into the uti file or make the script and then relate it to the armband..(gauntlet) NP..
Actually, for an example of using an armband, take a look at the Darkside Choker mod on pcgm. Basically, it requires an entry into spells.2da and then in the .uti that you will create, under PropertiesList, make sure there exists the struct with the following parameters:
ChanceAppear: 100
Parm1: 255
Parm1Value: 0
PropertyName: 10
Subtype: <-- the entry into spells.2da
In spells.2da make sure your impactscript field is the name of the script you want to fire (shazam).
And obviously all these go into your override (shazam.ncs, spells.2da, and the uti).
Checked the script and it seems to work fine. :)
Thank you!!! I want it on character i want to recruit. If it will be good, i'll release it. Thanks one more time.

Why don't you add this to the recruit script?
or just attach it to a convo :)
If it's your recruit that you want to be red, you'll have to replace oPC by the tag of the npc in the script and GetFirstPC() by GetObjectByTag("my_npc");

If it's your recruit that you want to be red, you'll have to replace oPC by the tag of the npc in the script and GetFirstPC() by GetObjectByTag("my_npc"); "GetFirstPC()" is appear just one time. do i need to do something with all the "oPC" ?
Something like this, Darth Tomer:
void main() {
/****************************************
npc_shazam.nss:
Turn on a peramanent visual effect
during recruitment of an NPC
by tk102 6-15-04
****************************************/
object oNPC=GetObjectByTag("npc_tag_goes_here");
effect eRedShield = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_SHIELD_RED_01);
eRedShield = SupernaturalEffect(eRedShield);
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eRedShield, oNPC);
return;
}
I believe there are points in the game (like when you put on a disguise (Sith, Sandperson) and then take it off that a script fires which removes all visual effects. You may need to compensate for that somehow.
Also, I think this would be a cool armband to have, similar to Holowan Cloakworks where you can turn on multiple effects... I'll construct one after KSE v2 gets released.

The supernatural portion isn't necessary for just turning the effect 'ON'.

And what can i do if the shield will stop?
Do i need just this part of the script?
Yes, the above is a different script in and of itself.
And what can i do if the shield will stop?
You'll have to fire the script again somehow. I'd suggest using a custom OnSpawn script to make sure the effect is on. The OnSpawn script fires each time you enter a new area.
Of course you can fire the script anyway you like -- trigger, armband, force power, dialog, etc. OnSpawn just seems to be the most natural way.
Now your next question I anticipate: how? It's pretty easy:
1. In Kotor Tool
BIFs
-> scripts.bif
-> Source
-> k_def_spawn01.nss (extract this)
2. Look for this line in the code
//GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_EVENT_ON_DIALOGUE_E ND);
And after it add the following:
effect eCheck = GetFirstEffect(OBJECT_SELF);
int nEffectIsOn=0;
while (GetIsEffectValid(eCheck)) {
if (
(GetEffectDurationType(eCheck) ==DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT) &&
(GetEffectType(eCheck)==EFFECT_TYPE_VISUAL) &&
(GetEffectSubType(eCheck)==SUBTYPE_SUPERNATURAL)
) {
nEffectIsOn=1;
}
eCheck=GetNextEffect(OBJECT_SELF);
}
if (nEffectIsOn==0) {
ExecuteScript("npc_shazam",OBJECT_SELF);
}
Then save this script with a unique name, compile it, and put it in your override. Your .utc should then have its OnSpawn field set your new script.
Also, in this case, you'll need the supernatural flag set in npc_shazam.nss. :)
It's not compile it. it says "Error: Undeclared identifier "oPC"
Error: requierd arguement missing in call to "GetNextEffect"
I'm sorry Darth Tomer. I've edited the above script, and it should work this time. (oPC should've been OBJECT_SELF).
It's still doesn't compile it. Can you please give me all the code?
(The two parts together). maybe i made a mistake with the copy past...
Okay you asked for it. It compiles for me. (Watch the line breaks.)

Still doesn't work. I have no idea what is the problem...
Maybe you could post the error that is being generated by nwnnsscomp.
Well from your screenshot, the spawndarth.nss is compiling fine. You should be compiling npc_shazam not shazam.
npc_shazam is the 2nd script I posted in this thread. It compiles for me.
I changed the "npc_shazam" to "shazam". That is the problem?
You should be fine, as long as you're sure that the only 'shazam.nss' that is in the directory that you're compiling, is the one that contains the code from my 2nd script. It looks like the errors you were getting came from a much longer script (101 lines at least in that script) than what I posted.
They also appear to be associated with text that should be commented. The astrisk is a give away on that...
Comments in scripts begin with either a double slash for a single line comment or a /* */ set of characters for multiple line comments.
so i need to delete all the comments?

The above script posted by tk102 compiles fine. It's your other script called shazam.nss that doesn't compile. Could you post the contents of shazam.nss?
I past the adove script into shazam.nss .
The First script compile fine, it's the last one that not compiles.
1. Create a new folder.
2. Create a new text file in that folder.
3. Paste the npc_shazam code into the text file and enter the tag name of your npc where it says npc_tag_goes_here.
4. Rename the text file to shazam.nss.
5. Copy nwnnsscomp.exe into the folder.
6. Open a command prompt in that folder.
7. Type nwnnsscomp -v1.00 *.nss
Also -- if you're renaming it to shazam.nss, make sure the spawndarth script refers to shazam and not npc_shazam as I have it posted. (The ExecuteScript function.)
I don't get it. You say "tag goes here" but it's in the first script. I use the second. I made a big mistake but i don't know what it is...
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Post #6 = 1st script (shazam.nss)
Post #16 = 2nd script (npc_shazam.nss)
Post #20 = 3rd script (spawndarth.nss)
The 2nd script needs to refer to your .utc's tag. The 3rd script needs to refer to the 2nd script (now called 'shazam').
I think i did it, but i didn't use the third script in the spawn script.
Here is what i did. I took the second script, and in the utc of my recruit, i typed in the "script spawn" or something, the name of the script. I didn't use the third script at all. It can make trouble to the game? in my little testing it was good.
