you have to find the behaviour script that handles death - forget which one - I know thats not much help - but I can say that once you find it you can script a condition so it overrides the resurrect default only when you ant it to - I think either M Reider or TheFred know which script it is because they told me - but in my case I wanted to turn it on. it is possible that it is an xml script.

good luck finding it.

i think it is k_mod_player_respawn a campaign script from the OC
or k_mod_player_death

There is also a companion on death script. I think it is called nw_comp_ondeath or something like that. You will want to give your companions custom on death scripts, I believe. In TWA2, I have it set up so that there is no auto respawn. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what I did to set it up, but I do know that I have custom companion on death scripts and I believe that is it. You also will probably need a custom on player death script as well, as morbane pointed out.

I never really figured out companions, but in LotD I had to remove them from the party at death to keep them from popping back up when combat was over. That was using the plain NWN2 defaults, MotB and SoZ must have better systems hidden away somewhere.

[M. Rieder]

You could try ga_roster_remove to see if that gets them out of the party. It will despawn them as well.

If you just want to have the companion affected, then you will probably want a differnt ondeath script for the companion. You could probably just use the normal ai script and put it in the companions on death event. I'm pretty sure that is how you get rid of the auto respawn. I'll double check in TWA2 when I get back to my modding computer.

Instructions for implementing the SoZ Death system are on my blog.

I've got an OnDeath script for killable companions on my computer at home. I make the companions resurrectable and non-decaying, then when they die the script removes them from the party and leaves them lying on the ground.

Casting a Raise Dead or Resurrection spell on them brings them back to life, then you have to talk to them to have them join you again.

I only check these forums when I'm at work, and today is Friday here, so I could post the script on Monday (Sunday on the other side of the date line) if required.

Like DannJ says, I'm certain it is in the OnDeath script - not the modue on PC death event, but the OnDeath event for the NPC. You could just try deleting the on death script and see if that keeps them down, then if you need anything fancy, you could go from there.

Keep in mind that there is a bug that causes the game to crash when exiting via the main menu if you have a henchman in your party. It's not a critical bug, since you've probably saved the game before exiting, but it can be annoying.

It turns out I just used a slightly modified version of my standard ga_remove_from_party script in order to have companions leave when dead. They have to have the resurrectable flag set in their properties if you want to be able to use Raise Dead or Resurrect on them:

//ga_remove_from_party
//
// If no sTag specified, use conversation owner
// Will work as an OnDeath script if required

void main(string sTag)
{
object oCompanion = OBJECT_SELF;
if (sTag != "")
oCompanion = GetNearestObjectByTag(sTag, GetFirstPC());

if (!GetIsObjectValid(oCompanion))
return;

string sName = GetRosterNameFromObject(oCompanion);
RemoveRosterMemberFromParty(sName, GetFirstPC(), FALSE);

if (GetIsDead(oCompanion))
SetIsDestroyable(FALSE, TRUE, TRUE);
}

Look on the vault. Lance Botelle has a fix for that henchman crash bug. I use it in The Wizard's Apprentice 2 and it works great.

I long ago gave up on henchmen in NWN2. Like many of the NWN1 leftover functions, you either have to accept the bugs or jump through hoops to circumvent them.

You can 'fake' a henchman by making a companion non-selectable using SetIsCompanionPossessionBlocked (so you can't possess them, or open their inventory directly). However I've found that you can still transfer items to them by dragging them onto their portraits - which you can never get back. If you give them something too heavy, then you're pretty much stuck with them being encumbered from then on (or you endlessly cast Bull's Strength on them).

I tried giving my fake henchmen a custom OnDisturbed script, but it seems that it only fires if you open the inventory directly or if they've been pickpocketed. Dragging and dropping items onto a portrait apparently circumvents an OnDisturbed event. A heartbeat script that cycled through the inventory and dropped anything it found tended to crash if it encountered a container item.

My solution was to cram the fake henchman's inventory full of 128 cursed keys (the lightest non-stacking items I could create). That way any attempt to drag-and-drop items to their portraits results in the item dropping directly to the ground. That's how I configured Lucky the magic cat and the darksteel golem in Isle of Shrines. The downside is that the fake henchman won't be able to swap weapons, and if they are disarmed then it is permanently. That wasn't an issue for my cat or golem, who only used creature weapons.

M.Rieder,, I downloaded Mr Botelle's file and it's got information about maximum numbers of henchmen saying you need to put SetMaxHenchman(10); to the module on load.

Have you done this as mine keep disappearing from saves ( I even put an autosave on the area but it's pointless as it wipes one out straight away ) and I can't work out how the hell I'm supposed to add that to anything.

I'm definitely heading back to self resurrecting companions after I get these sorted.

You only need to alter the max number of henchmen if you are going to go over the default.  I think the default is 2 or something. I modified it and have had no problems. 


I added this line of code to my module on load script:

SetMaxHenchmen(10);

You have to remember that altering the default scripts that it saves to a copy that ends up in your script list - you have to manually change it to your modified script.
