I'm trying to use this script, but im not 100% sure if I got it right..

 

I have a row of custom lampposts with the tag LampPost, and I placed (I can't find any invisible placeable, so I assume they meant a placeable which you will make invisible, via appearance but I just added a lever underneith a rock with the heartbeat script on.

 

And of course the lights don't work xD

 

I know I ask for a lot of help, but I'm pretty stumped on this situation. I'm not 100% sure what I should do.

 

I'll test putting the heartbeat script on the lamp posts themselves as well.

 

I was also curious if they meant the light it's self, or did they just mean the light, as in the lamp post

I haven't used that system, but one invisible object you can use is the standard ipoint placeable.  You should have only one copy of this script in your module, because it searches for all "LampPost" tagged objects in the module and affects them all.

 

I'm not familiar with the function SetPlaceableIllumination.

I believe the lights can lose information, so you have to grab it right away on area entry. The method I use is to pre-position the lights, store the light objects in an array on the area, then just flip them on or off. There's an example in Vol. IV of the Toolset Guide linked in my sig (called "Toggle Streetlights").

If you wish to do this then you should of course.

 

However you might want to look at the scripted lighting system on the vault. It has all this functionality already built in giving you time to mess up your head with a different scripting challenge.

The way I do it is to cycle through all light objects in the area and set them to active or inactive if the time is right.  It could be done with a single ipoint with a custom heartbeat set to a very low heartbeat rate just so that it's not checking every 6 seconds.

I either search for the nearest light object to a particular placeable (for lights that can be turned on or off manually), or I spawn light objects via script and store them as local objects on placeables (including ipoints). Either method avoids the problem of light objects losing their tags when you reload from a saved game.

 

I suspect the placeable illumination script functions are leftovers from NWN. They may not work in NWN2.

Here's a script I'm using at the moment. It runs as a heartbeat script on a single ipoint, and searches for all placeables (also ipoints) in the same area that have a tag of 'nightlight'. Each 'nightlight' ipoint has a string variable that determines what visual effect to spawn (torch flames, brazier fires, etc). The script gets the nearest light to each 'nightlight' ipoint and turns it on or off, so you have to make sure you position light objects manually for each one.

void main()
{
object oArea = GetArea(OBJECT_SELF);
if (oArea != GetArea(GetFirstPC()))
return;

int iDay = GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "Day");

if (iDay == GetIsDay())
	return;

object oLight;
object oEffect;
int i = 1;
string sEffect;

if (iDay == 1 && !GetIsDay())
	{
	oLight = GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, OBJECT_SELF);
	while(GetIsObjectValid(oLight))
		{
		i++;
		if (GetTag(oLight) == "nightlight")
			{
			sEffect = GetLocalString(oLight, "Effect");
			oEffect = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACED_EFFECT, sEffect, GetLocation(oLight), 0, "LightEffect");
			SetLocalObject(oLight, "EffectObject", oEffect);
			SetLightActive(GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_LIGHT, oLight),1);
			}//end if nightlight		
		oLight = GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, OBJECT_SELF, i);		
		}//end while	
	SetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "Day", 0);		
	}//end if night
else
	{
	oLight = GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, OBJECT_SELF);
	while(GetIsObjectValid(oLight))
		{
		i++;
		if (GetTag(oLight) == "nightlight")	
			{
			oEffect = GetLocalObject(oLight, "EffectObject");
			SetLightActive(GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_LIGHT, oLight),0);
			DestroyObject(oEffect);
			DeleteLocalObject(oLight, "EffectObject");
			}//end if nightlight
		oLight = GetNearestObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, OBJECT_SELF, i);		
		}//end while	
	SetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "Day", 1);
	//Rooster crows
	if (GetTimeHour() < 8)
	AssignCommand(GetFirstPC(), PlaySound("al_an_rooster1", TRUE));		
	}//end if day
