Here's the final solution:
UPDATE --
In order to control when the following script actually intercepts events, I have done the following (thanks to some help form David Sims in another thread)
RecklezzRogue said..
David - thank you - you got me there - I can now do event intercepts, without impacting (in any noticeable way) other modules...here's what I did in the end:
1 - created a 2da override for var_module wherein the variable DMO001_EVENT_INTERCEPT is defined as an int with a default value of '0'
2 - used Manage Modules/Properties/Variables to set DMO001_EVENT_INTERCEPT to '1'
3 - check for value of DMO001_EVENT_INTERCEPT in my events override script as follows:
case EVENT_TYPE_PERCEPTION_DISAPPEAR:
{
// If this isn't Dark Alliances, bail to default handler
//
object oModule = GetModule();
if (GetLocalInt(oModule, "DMO001_EVENT_INTERCEPT") == 0)
{
HandleEvent(ev,RESOURCE_SCRIPT_CREATURE_CORE);
}
4 - Placed my engineevents.gda, my var_module.gda, dmo001_event_intercept.nss & ncs in ../addin/core/override
And everything works...now I'll post this where someone trying to solve this will find it - clearly the wrong thread now that I found the root cause...
THANK YOU!
