NPC Companion Unconscious

[TonyBalony1960]

Wooooohooooooo!

 

I did it. OK, I finally stopped trying to kill the damsel and followed FORE's advice and added something else that was eluding me. This is what I came up with:

 

ScriptName VampireLordXScript

ref CassandraRefVar
ref VampireRefVar
short VLXIsDead

Begin GameMode

if CassandraRefVar
else
 set CassandraRefVar to "11101BAD" ; Editor ID
 set VampireRefVar to "00010DAB"; Editor ID
endif

if (VLXIsDead !=1)
 if (CassandraRefVar.getav paralysis !=1)
   CassandraRefVar.setAV paralysis 1
   CassandraRefVar.SetUnconscious 1
 endif
endif

if (VampireRefVar.GetDead)
 if (VLXIsDead !=1)
   set VLXIsDead to 1
   CassandraRefVar.setAV paralysis 0
   CassandraRefVar.SetUnconscious 0
 endif
endif

End GameMode

 

I was trying to kill her at first because even when she was paralyzed she would do greetings, etc., and had her eyes open and blinked them. Then I remembered something I started with, "SetUnconscious". I had stopped using it when they would get up after 10 seconds and then fall unconscious again. Well, between "SetAV Paralysis 1" and "SetUnconscious 1" she looked and acted perfectly unconscious. And by using a variable to set whether our villain was dead or not, it became easier to script the whole thing. Something else I learn while doing this...resist using "&&" in "if" statements. Nested "if" statements seemed work better, for me anyway. Also, don't forget to make your references persistent.

 

I'd really like to thank everyone who help, "Fore" and "PrettyMurky ", or I'd never have figured this out. Thanks again.

Decided that my script could use a bit of cleaning up. This is the result and I tested it and it works:

 

ScriptName VampireLordXScript

ref CassandraRefVar
ref VampireRefVar
short VLXIsDead

Begin GameMode

if (VLXIsDead !=1)
 if CassandraRefVar !="11101BAD"
   set CassandraRefVar to "11101BAD" ; Editor ID
   set VampireRefVar to "00010DAB"; Editor ID
 endif
 if (CassandraRefVar.getav paralysis !=1)
   CassandraRefVar.setAV paralysis 1
   CassandraRefVar.SetUnconscious 1
 endif
 if (VampireRefVar.GetDead)
   set VLXIsDead to 1
   CassandraRefVar.setAV paralysis 0
   CassandraRefVar.SetUnconscious 0
 endif
endif


End GameMode

 

Thanks again all!!! Cya. :biggrin:
