What spawns Shaardan?

[N-DReW25 1,338]

Hello, in my K1GI Mod I am trying to fix a bug where the Sith Student Shaardan fails to spawn inside the tomb of Ajunta Pall regardless of whether or not you've spoken to Ajunta. The main issue I am having is that I am totally unaware of what actually spawns him, my guess is that when you are leaving you're meant to walk on a trigger which makes him spawn but for some reason he isn't appearing.

 

Would anyone know what file spawns him in? Or if it would be possible to spawn him in via alternate means without breaking everything.

By my observation it should be -

1. Trigger = k37_trg_spn_shaa
2. Scripts \ ScriptOnEnter = k_pkor_spn_shaar

Did you have them [setup appropriately] on the relevant module [korr_m37aa]?

Not sure about that - but if we can spawn him the most feasible way -like the above setup- I don't see any reason why we should take the alternative though. Granted, that is still possible - I think. 🤔

Since it checks for the presence of the swords, I gather you have changed those.

DP asks a smart question.

If you simply want him to always spawn, you know what to do - remove conditionals.

So I checked what I did to the blades and all I did was modify their stats, removing the blade utis from the override fixed the problem. I will see if it is possible to modify the sword stats without breaking Shaardan.

It should only matter if you changed the tags, since that is what the script is checking.

That was presumably the issue. The "Notch Steel Sword" uses a tag and resref "k37_itm_freedont" whilst "Ajunta Palls Blade" uses tag "k37_itm_ajunta" and resref "k37_itm_freedont". My guess is that a while back I put the "ajunta" tag as the resref instead of the "freedont" tag.

 

Thank you all for your help.
