Hi again all.
Just hit a slight snag..
I have probably being procrastinating on 'populating' my town with ambient life npc's and lights that turn themselves off at night, for far too long now.
Anyway, after some time spent yesterday, I have managed to get my head around the SLS2 lightable system and get my lights turning on and off depending on the time of day. This is in the main area of my town and as such, it has taken quite awhile to set up all the lights, fx etc...
Next step. I thought I would finally tackle the whole ambient citizens side of things and have managed to get my head around it (thanks entirely to Kaldor's Silverwand campaign... (that whole campaign is a golden nugget for people like myself who cannot script)).
Anyway... I have just begun creating npc's to place around my town when I have only just now realized that both SLS2 lightable system and Kaldor's ALC(ambient life) systems both require a script to be placed in the area_on_heartbeart section....
So it was at about this point I realized I had no choice, but to come here and ask the powers that be to please merge the two scripts for me.

First up is the- SLS2 Lightable System on_area_heartbeat script:

#include "ginc_sls2"

void main() {
    SLS2AreaHeartbeat(OBJECT_SELF);
}

Ok that one was nice and short....brace yourself the next one is longer.
Next up is the- Kaldor (god of all that is) script that is required to also go into the area_heartbeat section.

// - add automatic night lighting

// heartbeat script for area 1100

// note that all objects within all areas of the module can be managed from here.

// There are some problems in the handling of walking citizens. See comments below for details.

Something like that should work. If you have problems try moving the line: SLS2AreaHeartbeat(OBJECT_SELF);
to the bottom of the script, just above that last closing curly bracket "}".

Dude that did the trick nicely. Tested and everything seems to work properly. Rock on! I'm so stoked to finally have done those two aspects of my module...
Thanks.

In King's Festival I have slightly newer versions of my area onenter and area heartbeat scripts since the versions in my Sample Campaign do not handle the problem of light tags not being saved across saved games. If you don't have any of my lights in the area then that may not be a problem (I don't know if the SLS2 system handles that issue or not).

Take a look at the campaign script 0000_hb and 0000_area_onenter.

Thanks for the kind words.

Regards

//new area_onheartbeat script
void main()
{
    ExecuteScript("area_heartbeat_script1", OBJECT_SELF);
    ExecuteScript("area_heartbeat_script2", OBJECT_SELF);
}

with this you don't need to alter any script, which means if they get updated by the author later you dont need to constantly re-add your edits.

This is exactly how HCR2 handles "running multiple scripts from the same event", except you dont have to create the new event script, just set a variable on the module.

You do have to know whether or not you want one script to execute before the other or whether or not the two might conflict with each other somehow, but you'd have to know that no matter what solution you try.

[dickel]

Ok so it turns out i didnt test it quite enough.
The sls2 lights switch on when it is nighttime and the npc's go to walk to their homes at night, but they dont seem to go scripthidden once they reach their home doors. Some dont reach their doors at all. I also noticed they dont open their doors either, so I figure that the two scripts are conflicting somehow.

@0100010
So if I used the above script you posted and placed it in the area as the new heartbeat script, then do I go to the variables section in the module properties? (in properties tab)
If so then what sort of variable would i put in there?
Would it be two- sString's with a title 'area_heartbeat_script1' set to the name of the individual scripts?
Or would it be an integer title 'as above' set to 1? i'm not sure.

[dickel]

actually hold off on that, ive most likely done something wrong on my end. i'll give it a bit more investigating



edit:
Ok, so it turns out im a bit of a knob and didnt pay enough attention to the script. I had slightly altered the waypoint tags to move to at night. Changed them all over to the right ones now and it works they go to there homes, open the door and disappear.
The only thing I need to tackle now, is why they still aren't saying their random lines of dialog before walking home for the night... most likely ive made a mistake there too
Awesome, got that part sorted now too.
I'm all good for now.

Hi again, im back.
It's now the weekend and had a chance to test the above script a little more.

@GhostofGod
I have tried the script both ways that you recommended and here are the results:

If I first place the line -SLS2AreaHeartbeat(OBJECT_SELF); at the top of the script then this is what happens:
-Citizens will walk home to their waypoints at night and all my SLS2 lights will switch on, however the merchants do not bark their strings (eg. "c_magicmerchant" = should randomly speak a line of dialog from the conversation 00_bark_c_magicmerchant).

However if I place the line in the script - SLS2AreaHeartbeat(OBJECT_SELF); at the bottom like you suggested then here are the results I get:
-Merchants will now bark their one liner barkstrings and take out a torch at night (if one is in their inventory), citizens still walk home to their waypoints. However my SLS2 lights no longer switch themselves on.

Any suggestions?

ps- Kaldor, I'll get kings festival tonight and have a look at those newer HB scripts. Thanks for the recommendation. The main reason that I'm keen to set up using the SLS2 system is that it incorporates FX's switching on as well, which adds a nice touch. Do the newer scripts in kings festival do this as well? If so i'll just switch over to that script and re-place all my lights...bit of work but thats ok.

Peace.

The King's Festival light scripts handle the problem of light tags being lost across saved games. I've never looked at the SLS2 system so I really don't know how my system differs from it. All of my lights use the same scripts though which allow for manual lighting, automatic lighting, different colored lights, ability to light with a torch or by fire damage. The area on enter and heartbeat scripts use the same routines.
