I am making some subrace scripts, but I cannot find a SetCreatureSize function. I can change the PCs appearance to that of a large creature, such as an ogre or giant, but it does not allow a PC to use a two  handed weapon in each hand, such as a large creature could do. I am sure that changing the creature size to large would allow this. However I can only find the function GetCreatureSize and the constant CREATURE_SIZE_LARGE. I tried including a few cep scripts, but I have had no luck. Is there a script I could include to get SetCreatureSize?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Creature size is bound with appearance, last time i did it i was able to wield scythe + tower shield with minotaur normally. Not sure about dual-wield though.

I tried with a greatsword and tower shield and it didn't work. Maybe ogre is not a large size. I'll have to try it with a giant.

Thank you for helping.

NWNX has a SetCreatureSize function. Setting a characters apperance doesn't change their size unless they log out and back in with that appearance on, which can bug other things.

It's in nwnx_funcs for windows, not sure about for a linux setup.

// Changes the internal size of a creature to iSize (CREATURE_SIZE_*)
// This does not change the physical size of the creature model as seen in game
void NWNXFuncs_SetCreatureSize(object oCreature, int iSize = CREATURE_SIZE_MEDIUM);

Thank you for that, but I'm not sure about using external programs. I'm not the server admin, just the builder, but I do know that the server uses Linux. He does not like to use an external database or stuff like that, so I am limited in what I can do. I'm just making a script to change appearance and have the stats adjusted by a dm. However I would like to have the creature size change too. I did make some scripts that limit equipable items for certain subraces, and they worked fine.

What you mentioned about the size changing when you log would be good. I made the script to make the changes when a PC enters the module welcome area. However when the player logs and comes back, the appearance resets back to what it was before. I'm not sure how to make the appearance stay when a player logs. I tried having the on client enter script execute the subrace script, but it didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

If this is true and no reason to believe its not, then try re-polymorph the character if the re-log using ActivatePortal isnt an option Sadira of Tyr.

You mean having the appearance change every time the player logs on the server? I tried that, but it didn't work. I could only get it to work when entering the start area. I could post the scripts, if it will help.

The way to do this without relogging is to change the appearance (to one with the desired size), polymorph (into anything) and unpolymorph then reset the appearance.

Here is a sample of changing the size to tiny. This type of change will keep the original race and creature speed (assuming the Toolset setting for the speed is not different from the appearance.2da row).  My delays are probably longer than what is needed, and if performing this on a PC, (or a creature that might enter combat) you may have to set the controllable state to FALSE.

void SetTinySize(object oCreature = OBJECT_SELF)
{
int nAppearance =GetAppearanceType(oCreature);
SetCreatureAppearanceType(oCreature, APPEARANCE_TYPE_BADGER);
DelayCommand(5.0, ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, EffectPolymorph(0), oCreature, 10.0));
DelayCommand(20.0, SetCreatureAppearanceType(oCreature, nAppearance));
}


EDIT: Just realized I had used a non-standard polymorph from back when I was testing huge weapons in both shifted and unshifted forms.  Polymorph number corrected to 0.

I will try that. Thank you very much.

If you are using Shayan's Subrace System still its very easy. Line 237 of sha_subr_methds explains how to Restrict item use based on subrace.

There is a difference between changing size and restricting items.  A tiny creature gets a two-handed strength bonus for wielding a small weapon, also this creature is disallowed a shield when a small weapon is equipped (but not a tiny weapon).  Additionally tiny creatures get additional bonuses to AB, AC, and stealth beyond that of a small creature.

[Birdman076]

Right, the subrace system allows for the changing of size via appearance and then its up to you to restrict items based on size of the creature you are setting the player up as. Sadira's mod is an offshoot of Rhun therefore if they are still using the subrace system it would be much easier to set the subrace to the appearance desired and place restrictions on weapon sizes based on the appearance in the subrace scripts as opposed to creating from scratch that which may cause problems with a system already in place. I've done this with Hill Giants in a Rhun module that allowed them to use two-handed swords and a shield or duel wield two-handed swords which is what I think Sadira is after.

Thanks for the help guys.

The polymorph thing worked great. I could use a two handed weapon with a tower shield with an ogre or minotaur. However I could only dual weild a two handed weapon with a one handed weapon. Two great swords did not work.

We used to use the Shayan subraces, but they were removed because of too many problems, and too many resourses used. I'm trying to make new subraces that don't need a whole lot of scripts running all the time. I had made my own script for tiny creatures item restrictions, but I did not know about tiny creatures and benefits with small weapons. Thanks for the examples though. Now I can add some armour restrictions too.

I am posting this chart, which I had posted in another thread, to provide the full scenario spectrum for mixing polymorphs and appearance changes.

Creature has appearance A
1) Appearance is set to appearance B
2) Polymorph to appearance C
3) Appearance is set to appearance D
4) Un-polymorph
5) Appearance is set to appearance E



       1    2   3    4    5
Size        A    C   C    B    B
Race       A    C   C    A    A
Speed      B    B   D    D    E

Sorry to bother you guys again, but I am working on undeads now. I can get the appearance and the undead effects to work fine. However when I drink a heal potion, I still get healed. I could not find a SetRacialType function. The polymorph trick does not fix this either.. Is there another way to fix it, so undeads will be harmed by heal potions, and healed by harm potions?

Thank you.
