My first project. Need some guidance

[Atton Rand]

I want to spawn a Gamorrean in the Iziz Spaceport and want to talk to him. I'll do the script of the talking later. Thanks to zbyl2 and Fair Strides 2 (Lucasforums) for guiding me so far.

 

Okay so here are the final scripts:

 

1. gamspawn.nss:

void main()
{
vector Spawn;
Spawn.x = -23.47745f;
Spawn.y = 80.85285f;
Spawn.z = 12.74702f;
float a = 0.99720;
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "g_gammorean01", Location(Spawn,a));
}
 

 

2. gamespawn101.nss
 

 

void main()
{
object oEntering = GetEnteringObject();
object Gamtest = GetObjectByTag("g_gammorean01");

if(GetIsPC(oEntering))
{

if(GetIsObjectValid(Gamtest)==FALSE)
{
ExecuteScript("gamspawn",OBJECT_SELF);
}
}
ExecuteScript("k_501_enter",OBJECT_SELF);
}
 

 

I got the precise coordinates with the help of the whereami armband. But I'm still unable to see the Gamorrean? All I did was placed the .ncs files of the above scripts in the override folder. What am I doing wrong? I'm using a save from the Iziz Spaceport to check the mod.

I... don't think spawning works that way...

 

An example from k_003ebo_onenter.ncs;

object oHK50 = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "hk50cut",Location(Vector(59.10990,34.51765,1.80000),30.0f));

Could you guide me please, Hassat Hunter?

[Hassat Hunter]

gamespawn101.nss

void main()

{

object oEntering = GetEnteringObject();

object Gamtest = GetObjectByTag("g_gammorean01");



if(GetIsPC(oEntering))

{



if ((!GetIsObjectValid(Gamtest)))

{

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "g_gammorean01",Location(Vector(-23.47745,80.85285,12.74702),0.99720f));

}

}

ExecuteScript("k_501_enter",OBJECT_SELF);

}

 

Suppose... something like this?

[Atton Rand]

What do I do once I have compiled the above script? Do I need a .utc file too? I got the coordinates with the help of the whereami armband. I'm unable to see the Gamorrean in the Iziz Spaceport. And can you explain what this line means:

 

 

 

ExecuteScript("k_501_enter",OBJECT_SELF);
 

I don't understand why we write OBJECT_SELF?

 

[Atton Rand]

I successfully spawned the Gamorrean. Now how do I make him initiate a conversation with me when I'm close to him? How do I edit my dialogue options and his responses?

Thanks for your help

[Hassat Hunter]

A dialogue is a .dlg file. A .dlg file is attached to the .utc.
