 Well the only real question is how to get the dominate spell effect to affect multiple npc's at once. Whenever it is cast it dispels the last instance of it and applies it to the new target. I have looked through the scripts for the dominate spells, but I haven't seen anything that would enable me to do this. My only thought would be to change the spell duration to permanent

Also, http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=nwn2scripts.detail&id=99 has managed to do this with summons and the control undead spell, but there is no script for .ncs file to either of them. I don't know if this was to keep the knowledge privy or it relates to the change in scripts to the Mask of the Betrayer expansion pack.

Information regarding how to do this would be much appreciated.

You can fake the domination, and instead change the target to a defender faction and make them a henchman (adding them as a henchman might even automatically change their faction for you). You could add the dominated icon to their portrait to complete the deceit.

A custom aura (EffectAreaOfEffect using the 'custom' constant) on the creature could keep track of the duration of the domination via the aura's own heartbeat script, or it could have the faux-dominated creature do a will save every round to see if it breaks free and turns hostile again.

If you don't like the bug that causes the game to crash on exiting with a henchman in the party (there's a fix out there for that), then you could change the creature's faction to defender and add a custom AOE effect that causes them to follow a specified leader (usually the caster). There's an OnSpawn script in the game that also causes a creature to follow a leader stored as a local object on them, which might negate the need for a custom AOE effect. Their portraits wouldn't show up in the party  - but if you wanted a lot of 'dominated' creatures, that's probably for the best.

I had multiple summoned creatures in Shaar Moan. An item summoned a dire rat called Ben, plus a bunch of lesser dire rats who followed the summoned rat (Ben's minions). The additional rats were defenders who kept close to Ben when not in combat.

Thank you, that should be a really effective work around. Thus, it was most helpful and I will try it sometime this weekend.

I'm still a bit curious as to how Reeron managed to get the summons and control spells to work like they did. (I guess I could join the site and message the author(s)? directly.)

[Dann-J]

I took a look at the download, but unfortunately the animate/create undead spells don't have uncompiled NSS versions for them, so I can't look at them here at work. I'd have to check them in the toolset when I get home.

[Finislucent]

 Well I seem to be having some trouble. (Big suprise I know considering my lack of experience.)
While turning the dominate spell effect into a henchman one wasn't too difficult, I am lost as to how to increase the henchman limit. I know there is a setmaxhenchmen function, but I am not too sure where to insert it in what file.

Here is what I have now, I haven't started the heart scripts, and yes there are unused variables so far.
EDIT: Took out the sript posted since it is now moot.

SetMaxHenchmen() can likely be set anywhere a script runs, though typically on ModuleLoad event.


- here's a quick heads up: Henchmen Game Crash Fix (LB)

[Finislucent]

Alright, I just realized my stupidity problem; I kept on forgetting to set the ";" at the end of the line in the k_mod_load file when adding the setmaxhenchman() function.

Another question, the henchmen seem to be following just basic associate ai, well they seem to lack ai in general, would anyone know how to attach a script to modify their ai?
Prime example would be I try to issue a command and get no response.

[kevL]

if you look in "nwn2_scriptsets.2da" you'll see sets of default scripts for the AI event slots on creatures.

PCDominate is one of them ... NPC_Default is probably already loaded on the mob. ( it should be barring customizations )


I don't know, maybe you want to try changing the AI to NPC_Associates (or even Player_Default) when the dominate takes effect and then change it back to normal NPC_Default when the dominate wears off ...

[Finislucent]

 Thank you, both of you have been extremely help. Yes, your solution is considerably easier than what I was trying, and that was much appreciated. I realized my problem lied in one of the lines I corrupted while going through henchmen ai, so I restored it.

On that note, someone else accomplished what I was trying to do with much greater finesse and more.

Tony you are a saint.

So this is the basic overall spell, again there are unused varibles; I am leaving them in as references for now.
As of right now there is no time limitations (something that will get fixed), this sets the script so the domination is now a henchman instead and uses the companion heartbeat scripts.

AddHenchman(oMaster, oHenchman);
SetCreatureScriptsToSet(oCreature, nScriptset);
}
}
}
}

Wooooooooooo!!!! I'm still a novice scriptor!
Anyway this is the same as above except it removes the henchmen function after 60 seconds per caster level. Also, does anyone know where the unsummon command script(i.e. the one that dismisses a summon prematurely)  would be, so I could look at it and see if I could copy and modify it so it would use removehenchman() function instead?

the unsummon (right click, bottom of menu) is handled by a GUI : contextmenu.xml

It's huge. TonyK put many of his party-AI extensions in here. I believe this is the section:

<UIRadialNode name="node-unsummon" style="BASE_RADIAL_NODE" strref="1569"
OnInit='UIRadialNode_OnInit_Unsummon()'
OnLeftClickCollapsed='UIRadialNode_Mouse_ActionUnsummon()' >
<UIFrame state="base" fill="ife_bullheaded.tga" />
</UIRadialNode>

UIRadialNode_Mouse_ActionUnsummon() is a hardcoded Gui function, but there's probably a way to add a callback to a customized Gui-script that may or may not handle dismissing dominated henchmen .....

- search for Lance's XML Tutorial, it's in the Vault but i suspect there'll be a lot of trial & error, to get a script to fire (and not screw up Unsummon etc)


ps. Make a backup

[Finislucent]

 Alright thanks again, I was looking at that and the other option I was thinking of was to turn the removehenchman as touch spell script and either attach it to an item or feat; which won't be hard.

Update to the dominate spell script again; I noticed I left an important factor out, which was that if it was cast on one of your roster members it would break them to the point of beyond repair; so I updated the script again so they only get the generic dominate feature. Here it is for the posterity.
Edit: couple of minor changes upon suggestion (from Morbane)
Edit 2: changed duration

#include "nw_i0_spells" 

void main()
{
SetMaxHenchmen(100);

object oTarget = GetSpellTargetObject();
object oMaster = OBJECT_SELF;
object oHenchman = GetSpellTargetObject();
object oCreature = GetSpellTargetObject();
effect eDom = EffectDominated();
eDom = GetScaledEffect(eDom, oTarget);
effect eDur = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_SPELL_DOM_MONSTER);

eLink = EffectLinkEffects(eDur, eDom);
int nScriptset = SCRIPTSET_PLAYER_DEFAULT;
int nScriptsetb = SCRIPTSET_NPC_DEFAULT;
int nMetaMagic = GetMetaMagicFeat();
int nCasterLevel = GetCasterLevel(OBJECT_SELF);
int nDuration = nCasterLevel + 5;

nDuration = GetScaledDuration(nDuration, oTarget);
int nRacial = GetRacialType(oTarget);

SignalEvent(oTarget, EventSpellCastAt(OBJECT_SELF, SPELL_DOMINATE_MONSTER, FALSE));

{
if (spellsIsTarget(oTarget, SPELL_TARGET_STANDARDHOSTILE, OBJECT_SELF))
{

if (!MyResistSpell(OBJECT_SELF, oTarget))
{

if (!MySavingThrow(SAVING_THROW_WILL, oTarget, GetSpellSaveDC(), SAVING_THROW_TYPE_MIND_SPELLS))
{

if (nMetaMagic == METAMAGIC_EXTEND)
{

nDuration = nDuration*2;
}

if ((GetIsRosterMember(oCreature)) == TRUE)
{
ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eLink, oTarget, RoundsToSeconds(nDuration));
}
else
{
AddHenchman(oMaster, oHenchman);
SetCreatureScriptsToSet(oCreature, nScriptset);
DelayCommand(RoundsToSeconds(nDuration), RemoveHenchman(oMaster, oHenchman));
}
}
}
}
}
}

EDIT: After adding the removehenchman() to a feat linked through a spell; Reeron's summon/control mod does indeed seem to change them to henchmen. EDIT 3: Checking out supernatural/extraordinaryeffect-which yielded nothing

suggestion:

use #include "nw_i0_spells"
rather than #include "x0_I0_SPELLS"

the second one just references the first anyway - more direct

:innocent:

Wow, didn't notice you fixed there errors when I read your other two posts; I should probably read all the posts before doing something.
Thanks for suggestion, doubt I would have noticed them anytime soon.

EDIT: I would like to thank everyone who made it possible, that a master can now have the minions fight in his stead as he can now kickback and make some bets.

EDIT: Spoke too soon; there is another way to accomplish what I did, and that is through the "EffectCutsceneDominate" function which is much simpler than what I did.

On that note for summons change the "EffectSummon" to use "CreateObject" and then add the "EffectCutsceneDominate" to the object and that would net summons only limited to duration and number of castings
