Author	SoZ Death System scripts

	Has anyone determined what is needed to have the SoZ Death System implemented in a campaign? I'm finishing up developing a campaign and I'd like to have the SoZ system used. I don't need instructions on how to export and import a module, etc. If I have to spend a lot of time figuring it out I'll just stick with my already implemented modified OC-based death system. I don't want to significantly hold up completing the campaign just to get the better death system. But if someone has already done the analysis, I'd like to take advantage of it. So, has anyone already figured it out? Regards

	I may have something but I'm never sure about these scripts. Try opening an "X2" module from the nwn2/modules directory on your computer, and look at the module properties. Then open the scripts that are on the "OnRespawn, OnDeath, OnDying" and another script that is mentioned inside one of them. I've been trying all night to figure out what to do with my script that is not working, and I actually managed without much effort to get the SoZ death system into my module, but that wasn't quite what I was looking for...

	Well, I got it to work. There is more to it than just the module scripts. I'm going to do a little more testing and then post my results so others do not have to figure it out. Regards

	So in setting up the SoZ death system in my own campaign this is what I have found: First, this will only work in campaigns. Using the campaign editor plugin set PartyMemberDying to TRUE. If you do not do this then the player will not bleed from -1 to -10, and will instead jump right from 0 to -10. The required scripts from SoZ are: ginc_death k_death_remove_gui k_mod_load (to be used as the module On Load script) k_mod_player_death (to be used as the module On Player Death script) k_mod_player_dying (to be used as the module On Player Death script) k_mod_load contains some SoZ cohort specific code and some SoZ module specific trade code that can be commented out. The significant thing it is doing regarding the death system is this line: Code: SetGlobalInt( VAR_GLOBAL_NX2_TRANSITIONS, TRUE); View Post/Code in separate window This line makes sure that dead party members are transitioned with the party when switching areas. Like the US Marines, no one is left behind. k_mod_player_death is pretty clean and doesn't contain any SoZ specific code that can be removed. It executes the k_death_remove_gui script. k_mod_player_dying doesn't contain any SoZ specific code that can be removed. As long as your companions use the standard gb_comp scripts they should be handled correctly. So if all you want is to mimic the SoZ death system in your campaign the above should be enough. In my campaign though I wanted to do a little more. I decided that if the game is set to easy mode then I want the dead to pop back to life as in the OC, but on normal or harder the SoZ system should be used. I also wanted to apply an xp penalty to any character that died. To allow testing I added checks for a module variable that can be used to indicate which death system should be used in addition to checking the game difficulty. So, the scripts I have ended up with are slightly edited. I also removed the SoZ specific code from the scripts. This is what I have ended up with and so far they seem to be working as intended. bb_deathpenalty is the script that applies the xp penalty. NWScript: // bb_deathpenalty // by Brendan Bellina // May, 2007 // Can be used in the DeathScript variable of companions and also executed from // the bb_mod_player_death script. #include "ginc_companion" #include "ginc_death" #include "ginc_debug" #include "nw_i0_plot" // * Applies an XP penalty void ApplyPenalty(object oDead) { int nXP = GetXP(oDead); int nPenalty = 50 * GetHitDice(oDead); int nHD = GetHitDice(oDead); // * You cannot lose a level with this respawning int nMin = ((nHD * (nHD - 1)) / 2) * 1000; int nNewXP = nXP - nPenalty; // Because NPC's may have been created with a smaller // amount of xp then level warrants, check for that, otherwise // we may mistakenly add to their xp when they die. if (nXP >= nMin) // if greater than or equal to the level minimum xp { if (nNewXP < nMin) nNewXP = nMin; } if (nNewXP < 0) nNewXP = 0; SetXP(oDead, nNewXP); /* leave the gold alone, just take xp int nGoldToTake = FloatToInt(0.10 * GetGold(oDead)); // * a cap of 10 000gp taken from you if (nGoldToTake > 10000) { nGoldToTake = 10000; } AssignCommand(oDead, TakeGoldFromCreature(nGoldToTake, oDead, TRUE)); / DelayCommand(4.0, FloatingTextStrRefOnCreature(58299, oDead, FALSE)); DelayCommand(4.8, FloatingTextStrRefOnCreature(58300, oDead, FALSE)); } void main() { if ( GetIsObjectInParty( OBJECT_SELF ) == TRUE ) ApplyPenalty( OBJECT_SELF ); } View Post/Code in separate window My modified versions of k_mod_load, k_mod_player_death, and k_mod_player_dying are renamed k_bb_mod_load, k_bb_mod_player_death, and k_bb_mod_player_dying, respectively and are here: k_bb_mod_load NWScript: // k_bb_mod_load / Module Load event based on SoZ k_mod_load modified by Brendan Bellina for King's Festival campaign if game mode is very easy or easy then do not turn on NX2 Transitions / // 8/16/05 ChazM (OEI) - created, added SpawnCompanions() // 10/20/05 ChazM (OEI) - modified item event related stuff // 11/18/05 ChazM (OEI) - Add Companions To Roster instead of Spawning them // 12/1/05 ChazM (OEI) - Now useing ginc_companions // 1/13/06 ChazM (OEI) - Modified roster companion additions to only happen once // 2/22/06 DBR - Setup Default Destinations for Overland map. // 3/02/06 DBR - Put in the Gather Party variable.

	Something else of significance in k_mod_load has been found. If you allow characters to die and your first PC does, then when you try to have any other party member converse with an NPC the dead body of the first PC will switch with the conversing party member. To avoid this you can set all NPCs to be able to talk to non player-owned creatures. An easy way to do this if you do not want to alter all of the creature blueprints you have is to take advantage of a line in the k_mod_load script: Code: SetGlobalString("N2_SCRIPT_SPAWN_CREATURE", "kb_default_sp" ); View Post/Code in separate window This line sets a script name to be executed for any creature being spawned in with the standard spawn in script. This can be used to control treasure on creatures, but can also be used to set the talk to non player-owned creatures. The code in the spawn script I am using looks like this: NWScript: // bb_kingsfestival_sp /* This is the campaign level creature spawn modifications script for the King's Festival campaign. This is defined in the module load script (k_bb_mod_load) and is executed in the beginning of the standard on spawn script for creatures (nw_c2_default9). / // B Bellina 5/09 void main() { // Unless BB_USEMYTALKVAL is 1 allow creature to talk to any party member if (GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "BB_USEMYTALKVAL") != 1) SetCanTalkToNonPlayerOwnedCreatures(OBJECT_SELF, TRUE); } View Post/Code in separate window which should allow me to override the setting if need be for a specific NPC. Unfortunately I do have some creatures that use non-standard spawn in scripts so I will need to fix them. Also you should make sure that your conversations will work regardless of who in the party is doing the talking. One nice thing about this is that the skill points for conversing that party members have should be relevant if they are doing the talking. One additional thing I've noticed is that when a party member is between 0 and -9 hp and the party rests the party member recuperates. I guess that makes some sense as long as you do not allow resting everywhere in your campaign. Regards Edited By Kaldor Silverwand on 05/05/09 16:29*

	Thanks for this; I thought I had everything for the SoZ death system, but you pointed out one thing I had missed. _________________ Dreams of Blue Fire blog, Class pack

	Also noted that gb_comp_spawn, the standard spawn script for cohort/companions does not execute the creature spawn in script. This makes sense since originally the creature spawn in script was used to place treasure on creatures. However, this means that if you want the cohorts/companions to be able to talk to an alternate party leader when your first PC is dead then you need to set their player can talk to non-player owned in their blueprint.

	If you have NPCs set to speak to non player owned creatures then you may have a problem if you use the gb_surrender_hb script. This script causes a creature to surrender after being damaged and then start a conversation with the nearest party member. If the NPC is set to talk to non-player owned creatures then it may start a conversation with someone other than your currently selected PC, in which case the conversation will not work properly.
