I'm trying to make a script for respawning the player to a waypoint or an object. This would have to work across areas, i have tried t make it myself but have kep on failing to make anything happen    If someone could provide a template script for this I would be eterally gratefull. Litterally If you asked for cookies i would find a way to send them to you.

[kevL]

you have to hook into / code into the module's onPlayerDeath script (or the respawn GUI script). resurrect the character, remove bad effects, apply penalty if applicable, then follow it up by jumping the character to your spawn-waypoint.

Don't use onRespawn -- doesn't work.

Where in the script do i place the location to respawn?

[kevL]

that looks like a default script that calls the default DeathGUI, which calls the default respawn script. That won't do .....

have a look through these

    // Resurrect PC (full health, No)
    // ResurrectCreature(OBJECT_SELF);
    // Raise PC (hurtin') - should we raise everyone in the Party?
    kL_WakeUpCreature(oPC);

//    RemoveDeathScreens(oPC);
//    CloseGUIScreen(OBJECT_SELF, "SCREEN_DEATH_DEFAULT");

    object oWpRespawn = GetObjectByTag("kg03_wt_spawn");
    // this needs to be changed to saveRoster/loadModule, when additional modules are added
    AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToObject(oWpRespawn));
    DelayCommand(3.4f, ApplyPenalty(oPC));

    // Apply Groggy penalty for 3 rounds
    effect eGroggy = EffectDazed();
//    eGroggy = EffectLinkEffects(EffectSlow(), eGroggy);
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eGroggy, oPC, RoundsToSeconds(3));
}

this is where PC respawns:

object oWpRespawn = GetObjectByTag("kg03_wt_spawn");

note that won't quite work if PC is *not* in the same module as the waypoint.

[kevL]

so basically you have to write a custom callback for your DeathGUI, which means also creating a custom DeathGUI ... that is invoked from a custom onDeath event

 

^ reverse order

[Colton]

So KevL, I need to put the Module on deaths script in the "on player death" scriptbox in the module properties, and the DeathGUI callback in the "on player respawn" scriptbox in the module properties? And so with the -

object oWpRespawn = GetObjectByTag("kg03_wt_spawn");

The "kg03_wt_spawn" can be renamed to the waypoint's desired name?

[kevL]

So KevL, I need to put the Module on deaths script in the "on player death" scriptbox in the module properties, and the DeathGUI callback in the "on player respawn" scriptbox in the module properties?

not quite. CAVEAT: all you asked for was a template. That said, i can't see anything in my scripts that stands out, at present, as non-generic ...

except, as you point out, the spawn-waypoint - which yeah the tag needs to be changed. The Standard_Faction reputations reset to be consistent with my own Faction Table. check your module's faction table if you want them to remain consistent with yours.

However, an onDeath script like mine above should work carefully against Companion onDeath scripts ..... the fine pts. get complicated fast. Just saying you might be better off working from the default scripts and adding things that you may like from mine.


ok, the DeathGUI callback does not go in onPlayerRespawn (that slot does not work at all). The callback runs when player clicks "Ok" on the deathGui. So what i did is invoke a standard message box instead of the default death gui - DisplayMessageBox() - which allows us to specify what callback script should run. I keep that script, 'gui_kg_mod_respawn' ( name it whatever you like but it has to start with "gui_" ), in my campaign folder although the module folder should work also when there's only one module -- but even single module games should be made as Campaigns for various reasons ... meh.

Is the sequence starting to make sense?

[Colton]

Alrighty, yeah that makes sense. the game I'm working on isnt a campaign, so i don't think i can use any of the scripts you gave me. Thank for the help anyways.

[kevL]

( doesn't matter if it's a campaign - i was just getting sidetracked )

 

it's a puzzle but the info is in there.

[Colton]

Oh lol alrighty! I'll try these then. Im pretty new to scripting, only done animations and quests int eh past, nothing like this before, so a apprecate your help

[Colton]

I have it working to the point where the gui death screen is changed, but it just leaves me there dead...

[kevL]

you're trying my script(s)?

 

does the deathGUI say "not OK" on one of its buttons?

[kevL]

if so, and you've changed the name of the callback script, you also need to change that string in the onDeath script

in helper-function kL_ShowDeathScreen() at the top of the onDeath script < this invokes the DeathGUI

replace "gui_kg_mod_respawn" with the filename of *your* callback


recompile both scripts and make sure they are accessible to the engine - ie. module folder should be fine.

[Colton]

Ok, what is callback? NVM found it

 

ok so, I dound in the 'deathscript" at the top, 'gui_kg_mod_respawn'    what do i change this to? I keep the gui part?

[kevL]

callback is a fancy name for ... 'script'.

It's a 'callback' because the engine is telling the game to do something (open the DeathGUI), and as it does that it's requesting something *back* (the script that needs to run when "OK" is clicked).

so in this case it's just the script that runs when, uh, "not OK" is clicked.

[Colton]

oh lol,I don't have a callback setup.    can i use this?  

void main()
{
    object oPC = OBJECT_SELF;
    ClearAllActions(TRUE);

    // reset StandardFactions, should remain consistent with the Faction table.
    // can use constants in the FactionTable for custom factions, i believe
    SetStandardFactionReputation(STANDARD_FACTION_COMMONER, 60, oPC);
    SetStandardFactionReputation(STANDARD_FACTION_MERCHANT, 70, oPC);
    SetStandardFactionReputation(STANDARD_FACTION_DEFENDER, 80, oPC);

    // still need to make sure the Rats in the Cottage don't overpower PC.

    // Resurrect PC (full health, No)
    // ResurrectCreature(OBJECT_SELF);
    // Raise PC (hurtin') - should we raise everyone in the Party?
    kL_WakeUpCreature(oPC);

//    RemoveDeathScreens(oPC);
//    CloseGUIScreen(OBJECT_SELF, "SCREEN_DEATH_DEFAULT");

    object oWpRespawn = GetObjectByTag("kg03_wt_spawn");
    // this needs to be changed to saveRoster/loadModule, when additional modules are added
    AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToObject(oWpRespawn));
    DelayCommand(3.4f, ApplyPenalty(oPC));

    // Apply Groggy penalty for 3 rounds
    effect eGroggy = EffectDazed();
//    eGroggy = EffectLinkEffects(EffectSlow(), eGroggy);
    ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eGroggy, oPC, RoundsToSeconds(3));
}

as the callback? Just change the name to the waypoint im using? So overall tehr are three scripts. deathscript which triggers the Gui "not ok" screen, then the third is when i click "not ok"  and that should spawn me at the waypoint?

[kevL]

yeh, give it a shot, i think you nearly got it ...

 

note: i believe there are 2 scripts + 1 GUI

(1) module onDeath script
(2) invokes DeathGUI
(3) runs the callback script

[Colton]

Ok so on the (3) callback script, it says this "respawncallback.nss(17) : ERROR UNIDENTIFIER"

 

Does the callback start with then "void main" or with the green "\\"  becuase i think thta might be the issue, but if so, then thats the same script as the deathscript... which is really confusing. becuase the there is 2 scripts with one repeating... a paradox

[Colton]

OMFG I GOT IT THANK YOU SIR!

[kevL]

omg we're genuises

 

 

seriously tho, you just got one heavy-duty experience at scripting.

[Lance Botelle]

<SNIP>ok, the DeathGUI callback does not go in onPlayerRespawn (that slot does not work at all). <SNIP>

Hi KevL,

Just to clarify, the OnPlayerRespawn slot *DOES* work, but fires when/after the PC respawns. It does "what is says on the tin".

I use it to keep track of "Rebirths" if a player uses a "Life essence" to survive a death hit.

I say this just in case you thought it did not work at all.

EDIT: I am SERIOUSLY impressed that you managed to explain that experience ... and get it to work! Well done!

Cheers,
Lance.

[kevL]

ok you convinced me to give onRespawn another go .....

[Ubai]

I found this thread very helpful! I also discovered after some research that when the "Respawn" button is pressed on the respawn GUI, it calls gui_death_respawn_self. I simply added an onExecuteScript line to this script that runs another script that heals the player and transports them to a death area. I then use that area's onEnter script to apply my penalties. gui_death_respawn_self uses OBJECT_SELF as its target, which seems to work perfectly with onExecuteScript for moving the player.

 

Thanks,

Matt
