I want to use a function from the common script library, but with my meger scripting skills, I'm not quite sure what to do.

Here is what I'm trying. When a spell is cast at an object, record the casters spell level as a local int. and start a conversation. Seems simple enough.
 
SCInclude_cache stats has the function.
I added the scripts from the CSLLibrary folder to my campaign folder.
int  SCPrep_GetCasterLevel (int iclass, object oChar=OBJECT_SELF) is what I want to use. Here is what I came up with;


#include "_SCInclude_CacheStats"
void main()
{
 object oPC = GetLastSpellCaster();          
         
 int iLevel = SCPrep_GetCasterLevel (iclass, oPC);   
 object oSpeaker = GetNearestObjectByTag("b51_examiner", oPC); 
 
 SetLocalInt(oSpeaker,"SpellCast", iLevel);
 
    DelayCommand(3.0, AssignCommand(oSpeaker, ActionStartConversation(oPC, "b51_examiner", FALSE, FALSE)));
}

iclass is an undeclared identifier, but I'm not sure how to identify it, and  _SCInclude_CacheStats has several as well. Is there another file I need to add to my campaign folder? I just don't know how to proceede.

Your #include is after your declaration of the function, so the include is not checked in the function definition. Since it's not, not variables from it are recognized in the function definition (eg iclass).

[bealzebub]

I think I pasted that poorly, while on my way out the door. sorry, I edited it to be better read. The #include is the beginning of the script.

I get a lot of undeclared identifiers such as "FEAT_PRATICED_SPELLCASTER_BLACKGUARD" on the #include script. I don't know, do I need another #include, that declares the feat, or am I maybe missing some files from the CSL?
This is my first time trying to use a resource from csl, and I'm not real sure of what I'm doing.

[kamal_]

It sounds like you are missing an include. I'm not familiar with csl so I don't know which. Painofdungeoneternal maintains it, so he'll likely post when he sees this thread.

beal,
you need to define "iclass"

int iclass = ...

note: SCPrep_GetCasterLevel( ) will fall back on the standard NwN2 function, GetCasterLevel( ) if iclass is set -1 :

int iclass = -1;

- then it does its hocuspocus, iterating through the actual classes oChar has,


Looks like you'll also need

#include "_CSLCore_class_c"
#include "_CSLCore_Feats_c"

which define a whackload of classes & progressions, and Feats. Perhaps Pain can tie it all together better, but if you go clicking through the documentation (and do searches there) you should eventually find all the #includes & functions needed; just keep compiling and fixing any errors that pop!

[bealzebub]

Thanks KevL,
I was able to get it to compile with your suggestions. Now, just to test it.
Where did you find the info on iclass? what if it is set to 0 or 1?

[kevL]

- browse through the function itself:

//...
if ( iclass == -1 )
{
// We have a placeable, or an invalid caster level, just use the vanilla default
iCasterLevel = GetCasterLevel( oChar );
}
//...

iclass is likely meant to represent one of the constants (rows) in classes.2da. Many of them, the basic ones are defined in 'nwscript.nss' -- while the extras, like Kaedrin's, would be done custom (via CSL's or K's #includes, usually) ...

Hence 0 == Barbarian and 1 == Bard

[bealzebub]

Now I understand better. Thanks.

[kevL]

k, me too

It's already been stated more or less, but since I've been using CSL scripts, if you want to just pick and choose without installing the whole thing, you have to check each script you use for #includes, and then also check each of those #includes for more #includes, as they are sometimes nested like that.

You could also go through them and extract just the functions that are actually used and paste them all into a new script so you don't need to use the includes.  I remember someone around here mentioning that as the way they like to do it.  But it would be a lot more complicated.

[painofdungeoneternal]

I would suggest including the one folder CSLLibrary as a whole, if it's in your override folder it's out of the way, won't cause confusion, and it won't cause any conflicts unless you specifically use it via an include. The only reason to cherry pick things is if you are editing my code, or only need one single thing and will never ever find reason to use anything else, in which case you should copy that function into your own include and rename the prefix from whatever it is, to something you use yourself.

Most of the people i talk to who get confused, are so concerned with removing files because they want to reduce confusion, are not skilled enough to properly troubleshoot the issues caused by completely removing those files. I basically tell them you need these files, they go ok but have X issue, then i trouble shoot it and find they chose they did not like how i named a given file ( it was not named "this file is needed for your issue"). I have done a LOT of work to reduce the number of files, which makes bigger files, but my priority is on making those wishing to use this to have a robust coding library which many can use - and if 2 different coders use the same library it's a complete win for the end user if they want to use both projects at the same time since the merging will already have been done.

( my bigger concern is when you see a string function, which include is it defined in, if you use my library you should after a few weeks know about where it's defined without having to look anything up )

If you don't want all of those, the CSL library base includes all the files with the "_CSLCore_" prefix. This is 31 files, and they do NOT include anything besides other "_CSLCore_" files ( and a few official files such as the switches include and nwscript.nss ). None of those should have any conflicts, or if there are any it should be pretty minimal. These are the heart of what i did, and you probably want to use these in general instead of using the vanilla game files. Again if not included they are NOT used, no risk.

These are the lowest level, and i'd recommend including all of these. Then trying compiling the files again and see if anything else is needed. I arranged things in levels, since you cannot have a recursive include of a grand child to a parent, which can get complicated especially with official code.

"_HkSpell.nss" is for the spells code, it's the second level and can include "_CSLCore_" files, but cannot be included by those files.

Special projects all have a "_SCInclude_" file, this can be custom, or it can be nothing more than taking the official code, and renaming the functions and many of the constants, and removing dependencies to other official files ( instead aiming all of these to use CSL library code ). These also include special projects. Basically instead of including hundreds of files it aims things at those 31. These might include other similar "_SCInclude_" files, but it's avoided. These can include anything in this folder.

"_SCInclude_AI.nss" for example is the actual game AI which i refactored. This means i tweaked things, combined things, but was very careful to ensure it works the same to the point it should still exhibit many of the same bugs unless i focused on them. However it does have sanity caps, merging of functionally duplicate code, removal of code which is not even being used, and some work making it so things are easier to find - and dramatically improves performance. The idea was it should work across the board as is for all users in OC and MP and SP, but fix issues with broken official code. There are issues with the official code caused by it being so massive that it does not even display normal errors, resulting in creatures just stopping without showing a TMI. It is still right near the "too much information" for the stock compiler, so be careful not to add more than a few hundred objects, this is fixed in skywings version of the compiler - i kept pruning extra objects so you might have a chance ( generally avoid including this unless it's an AI function and trigger the AI events via one of the combat functions).

Also on http://70.179.46.242.../csl/index.html at the top of each include there is a line something like the following --> Include dependency graph for "_SCInclude_AI.nss:" which should include that, says missing file. You can use doxygen to recreate those, or look back in a bit after i get a chance to figure out why it's broken.

iclass is an undeclared identifier, but I'm not sure how to identify it, and _SCInclude_CacheStats has several as well. Is there another file I need to add to my campaign folder? I just don't know how to proceede.

review _CSLCore_class_c.nss, it has all the class constants in it. Basically it's classes.2da row numbers. If it's in nwscript.nss it's commented out. Related constants kaedrin or I set up are beneath each one. These are what i have negotiated or asserted as gospel in the community while i was much more active.

Here is what I'm trying. When a spell is cast at an object, record the casters spell level as a local int. and start a conversation. Seems simple enough.

Setup a spell hook. ( file is defined in your module start event like I did below )

SetLocalString(GetModule(), "X2_S_UD_SPELLSCRIPT", "_SCDexSpellHooks");

Then look at
"CSLEvents/_SCDexSpellHooks.nss"

For example i have this fail safe

if ( !GetIsObjectValid(GetAreaFromLocation(GetLocation(oCaster))) )
{
		SCfizzleSpell("Invalid Area.", oCaster );
		SetLocalString( oCaster, "CSL_ERRORSTRING", "Invalid Area" );
		return;
}

duplicate this and adjust it so it only happens if area name is "Somearename", note there is a lot else here you can test.

if ( GetName(GetAreaFromLocation(GetLocation(oCaster)))=="Somearename" )
{
		SCfizzleSpell("Start convo.", oCaster );
		// trigger conversation here
		return;
}

chat_dm_showspellstats.nss has code to show how to get the casters info, can be run anytime in single player to see what is going on. This uses SCCacheStatsToString which is found in _SCInclude_CacheStats.nss - these are the variables for reference.

int iHD = GetLocalInt(oChar, "SC_HitDice" );
	
	int iNumclasses = GetLocalInt(oChar, "SC_Numclasses" );

	int iBestEldritchMaxSpellLevel = GetLocalInt(oChar, "SC_iBestEldritchMaxSpellLevel" );
	int iBestPsionicMaxSpellLevel = GetLocalInt(oChar, "SC_iBestPsionicMaxSpellLevel" );
	
	int iSpellSchool = GetLocalInt(oChar, "SC_iSpellSchool" );

( note that if you use my version of the AI, it uses the same variable names. The official AI was already doing the same work hundreds of times per second, and i merged the two systems and did things so it can't recalculate the following too often, you just have to call SCCacheStats( oChar ) on the creature which will ensure it's valid variables. )

Alternatively you can use the function "HkGetBestCasterLevel" which handles all of the above and example is in "SP_epicgate.nss". ( there are other ones that just look at divine or arcane levels if you look thru "_HKspell.nss".

float fDuration = RoundsToSeconds( HkGetBestCasterLevel( OBJECT_SELF ) + 40 ); // Fixed 40 round duration

or in the summons include

int iMaxAllowedSummons = ( HkGetBestCasterLevel( oCaster )*4 )-( iSummonLevel*2 );

Of course you need to learn some level of coding / nwscript / simple C syntax to make use of this. You also should use http://70.179.46.242:8000/csl/ as a reference as you work, to see what to include.

Thanks Pain,

post copied to my CSL directory

[bealzebub]

Hey Pain,
thanks for the reply. It's like a mini tutorial, just what I needed.
I've been working my way through it, and I think I get it. I'll have some questions in another day or so.

[bealzebub]

Ok, Here's what I've done.

• added CSLLibrary to my campaign folder
  
  
  
• added _SCDexSpellHooks to my campaign folder
  
  
  
• added Chat_dm_ShowSpellStats to my campaign folder
  
  
  
• set up a spell hook in my OnModuleStart script

[/list]

duplicate this and adjust it so it only happens if area name is "Somearename", note there is a lot else here you can test.

if ( GetName(GetAreaFromLocation(GetLocation(oCaster)))=="Somearename" )
{
SCfizzleSpell("Start convo.", oCaster );
// trigger conversation here
return;
}

Any one know where this is suposed to go? Do I add it to my objects OnSpellCastAt script?

[painofdungeoneternal]

inside of _SCDexSpellHooks.nss, you will see what i said i duplicated, just put that under it. ( and then write what it does, you probably won't be able to use the fizzle function, but you need to do what it does at least.
