Bwah, first question...

Post by Teibidh »

Okay, when you create a new area in a module it automatically derives the resref from the name you enter in the new area wizard (forget the fact that I hate wizards, you apparently have to use it... the bastards.). In and of itself this wouldn't bother me any, just enter what you want the resref to be in the name field and change the name later. But, let's say I've done about two hours worth of work on an area and finished off the painting on it... I go to the properties dialogue cause I wanna check the lighting and fog settings and I happen to notice that the resref is 'area', completely unacceptable, to me anyway. Is there a way to change it? Cause it's greyed out. I really don't enjoy the thought of having to go through and repaint the entire area... so?

Tis a simple solution to this one. Just right click the area, and do "Create Copy". It will then pop up a dialogue on what to name that new copy's resref.

How ironic will it be if RG winds up answering all my questions here?:)

Well...someone else may answer your questions if they get there first. :wink:

That was a trick I learned not too long ago myself. It's very handy.

hmm quick question

Post by hermyt »

when you fire an 'actions taken' script off a pc's conversation node is the pc the activator grabbed with OBJECT_SELF? or is the script activator still the npc conversation host?

if its the pc then I assume that GetLastSpeaker() grabs the previous voice nodes activator?

I've been too lazy to load up and check just that so I've just gotten into the habit of pasting in redundance checks because I can't remember. heh

I believe all the scripts in a conversation belong to the owner of the conversation, thus, the NPC, so you'd have to target GetLastSpeaker() with anything you wanna do to the PC.
