You have to put the include file in the override, then compile the script that uses the include. Also, you include the file by typing the full name of the file: #include "populate.nss"...  [Read More]

TB, I think you're not including the script correctly.. if your script name is "example.nss", you have to place it in the override folder, and then compile the script that makes a reference to it, which is supposed to look like this: #incl...  [Read More]

Nope, equip the whereami armband and hop into the module you want to populate... As I've said before, some models are far the left, some are positioned otherwise and so on.. if you want the creatures as evenly spread out as possible it's best you get...  [Read More]

int RandomNegative(int i){ return (Random(2*i)-i); } If you enter the int i, this will return you a random int between i and -i. int RandomInt(int iMax=1, int iMin=0){ int Malo = iMin; if(iMin>iMax) Malo=iMax; int iRandom = Malo + Random(abs(iM...  [Read More]

No, no; no renaming of nAmount.. when you type 'int nAmount' into the parameter you basically already define it. By defining another nAmount inside, you kind of overwrote the first one. And since the new one didn't have a value assigned to it, the wh...  [Read More]

Yep, I know what's wrong :D You cannot define variables inside the switch, unless you put either that part of the code or the entire case inside { }. So: switch (nParam) { case 0:{ location lLoc=GetLocation(GetObjectByTag("wp_hq_dess"))...  [Read More]

Seeing your entire code, and since this is an ADVANCED scripting zone, your multiple conditions by nParam's value is a place where a CASE/SWITCH would be appropriate, and save you a little coding. Not really, the way he did it is shorter....  [Read More]

I have no idea what you are referring to here... The .lips will automatically be applied when the corresponding line is spoken. So just make sure you put in the right VO filename, and if you have the .lips either in the override or in the _loc.mod, t...  [Read More]

No, I think there is a need, actually... logically you are correct (doy) and I think it also is affecting things, although I will need to test things a bit more to be sure where my hiccups are. Basically, it works for your case because the effect you...  [Read More]

The invisible placeable seemed like a good idea as it would perform like a trigger, but yes it is more complicated. I'm not sure there's an OnPercieved event for placeables, you should check to make sure. Another possibility would be to make a scrip...  [Read More]

If the script you're doing should fire when the player reaches a certain point, then it's better to use a trigger for that.. I believe there's a tutorial on triggers on this site. Now as for the functions, to remove the invisibility, you're gonna h...  [Read More]
