Hey guys, when I played climax part of the game yesterday, I saw that I could call on reinforcements with reinforcement pannel and gave me an idea of how to do non-party follower thing without NonPartyFollower script functions. When I looked at the script of those soldiers, script had this part

// Climax army member creature script
// On death: send event to area
#include "log_h"
#include "utility_h"
#include "wrappers_h"
#include "events_h"
#include "ai_main_h_2"
#include "cli_constants_h"
void MoveToLeader()
{
    #ifdef DEBUG
    Log_Trace_AI("EVENT_TYPE_CUSTOM_COMMAND_COMPLETE", "MOVING TO LEADER");
    #endif
    object oPC = GetMainControlled();
    command cMove = CommandMoveToObject(oPC, TRUE, 8.0);
    WR_ClearAllCommands(OBJECT_SELF, TRUE);
    WR_AddCommand(OBJECT_SELF, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1, 5.0);
}

I tried to make my AI script with this alone and it seems its not working because it doesn't have starting conditional or main. So I tried to put
    command cMove = CommandMoveToObject(oPC, TRUE, 8.0);
    WR_ClearAllCommands(OBJECT_SELF, TRUE);
    WR_AddCommand(OBJECT_SELF, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1, 5.0);
to my spawning script and this is my resulting script
#include "log_h"
#include "utility_h"
#include "wrappers_h"
#include "plot_h"
#include "sys_ambient_h"
void main()
{                                          
   
    object oMainControlled = GetMainControlled();
    object oArea = GetArea(oMainControlled);       
    vector vControlled = GetPosition(oMainControlled);
    vector vSpawn1 = vControlled + AngleToVector(90.0) * 1.5;
    vector vSpawn2 = vControlled + AngleToVector(180.0) * 1.5;
    vector vSpawn3 = vControlled + AngleToVector(270.0) * 1.5;
    vector vSpawn4 = vControlled + AngleToVector(45.0) * 3.0;
    vector vSpawn5 = vControlled + AngleToVector(135.0) * 3.0;
    location lSpawn1 = GetSafeLocation( Location(oArea, vSpawn1, 0.0) );
    location lSpawn2 = GetSafeLocation( Location(oArea, vSpawn2, 0.0) );
    location lSpawn3 = GetSafeLocation( Location(oArea, vSpawn3, 0.0) );
    location lSpawn4 = GetSafeLocation( Location(oArea, vSpawn4, 0.0) );
    location lSpawn5 = GetSafeLocation( Location(oArea, vSpawn5, 0.0) );   
    command cMove = CommandMoveToObject(oMainControlled, TRUE, 8.0);
    object oNonPartyFollower1 = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, R"npf1.utc", lSpawn1);
    {
        AddCommand(oNonPartyFollower1, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1);
    }
    object oNonPartyFollower2 = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, R"npf2.utc", lSpawn2); 
    {
        AddCommand(oNonPartyFollower2, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1);
    }
    object oNonPartyFollower3 = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, R"npf3.utc", lSpawn3);
    {
        AddCommand(oNonPartyFollower3, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1);
    }
    object oNonPartyFollower4 = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, R"npf4.utc", lSpawn2);  
    {
        AddCommand(oNonPartyFollower4, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1);
    }
    object oNonPartyFollower5 = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, R"npf5.utc", lSpawn3);   
    {
        AddCommand(oNonPartyFollower5, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1);
    }
}

When I spawn with this script, followers would spread out like 8 meter or whatever measurement system that this game use and not follow. From my understanding this script command should make whatever object that has this script should move to wherever I go. Am I making wrong assumption? If so, Can someone help me to complete this script?

For this to work you'd need to be calling MoveToLeader from within the creature script, probably under EVENT_TYPE_HANDLE_CUSTOM_AI like cli000cr_army_member.nss does.

[AnnoyingDisplayName]

I hate logging in everytime! I just want to stay logged in and reply. Anyway, You mean I have to put

void MoveToLeader()

{

#ifdef DEBUG

Log_Trace_AI("EVENT_TYPE_CUSTOM_COMMAND_COMPLETE", "MOVING TO LEADER");

#endif

object oPC = GetMainControlled();

command cMove = CommandMoveToObject(oPC, TRUE, 8.0);

WR_ClearAllCommands(OBJECT_SELF, TRUE);

WR_AddCommand(OBJECT_SELF, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1, 5.0);

}

Under EVENT_TYPE_HANDLE_CUSTOM_AI? Will I need any extra?

[AnnoyingDisplayName]

Still the same... Here's my new script.
// Climax army member creature script
// On death: send event to area

#include "log_h"
#include "utility_h"
#include "wrappers_h"
#include "events_h"
#include "ai_main_h_2"
#include "cli_constants_h"

void MoveToLeader()
{
#ifdef DEBUG
Log_Trace_AI("EVENT_TYPE_CUSTOM_COMMAND_COMPLETE", "MOVING TO LEADER");
#endif
object oPC = GetMainControlled();
command cMove = CommandMoveToObject(oPC, TRUE, 8.0);
WR_ClearAllCommands(OBJECT_SELF, TRUE);
WR_AddCommand(OBJECT_SELF, cMove, FALSE, FALSE, -1, 5.0);
}
void main()
{
event ev = GetCurrentEvent();
int nEventType = GetEventType(ev);
string sDebug;
object oPC = GetHero();
object oParty = GetParty(oPC);
int nEventHandled = FALSE;

switch(nEventType)
{
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Sent by: The engine
// When: The creature spawns into the game. This can happen only once,
// regardless of save games.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
case EVENT_TYPE_SPAWN:
{
break;
}
case EVENT_TYPE_HANDLE_CUSTOM_AI:
{
MoveToLeader();
}
}
}
What did I do wrong this time?

Okay, I think I'll need this script to repeat itself.

A repeating or heartbeat script is possible, but unnecessary. Just make sure that there is a positive value in the local variable AI_CUSTOM_AI_ACTIVE and try the script you have above again. Just keep in mind that the command you have set up will place the creature 8 meters away from the PC. You would be better off with a line like

CommandMoveToObject(oPC, TRUE, 1.0, FALSE, 8.0);

This will keep your follower within 1-8 meters away from the PC.

[AnnoyingDisplayName]

Thanks, I will try this!

[AnnoyingDisplayName]

Wait, I just realized that AI_CUSTOM_AI_ACTIVE made my NPCs stupid enough to not fight... What causes this?

[AnnoyingDisplayName]

Well, that didn't work so well, they only follow me one time and whenever I stop, they just stop follow me.

[Craig Graff]

You are basically trying to copy the functionality of cli000cr_army_member.nss but you aren't copying enough.
EVENT_TYPE_HANDLE_CUSTOM_AI only fires during combat, so you will want to copy everything under EVENT_TYPE_HANDLE_CUSTOM_AI and also everything under EVENT_TYPE_CUSTOM_COMMAND_COMPLETE. The only part to exclude would be the sections beginning with if(GetTag(GetArea(OBJECT_SELF)) == "cli220ar_fort_roof_1").

(AI_DetermineCombatRound is the thing that needs to be called under EVENT_TYPE_HANDLE_CUSTOM_AI if you want your creatures to fight.)

Thank You, I will try that

[AnnoyingDisplayName]

Worked Like Charm! Thank You!

[RecklezzRogue]

so glad i found this thead.... ;-)

[RecklezzRogue]

I am unable to locate "cli000cr_army_member.nss" - can someone point me in the right direction?

[Craig Graff]

In the Single Player module.

[RecklezzRogue]

thanks...I was actually searching my HDD after searchig scripts in the toolset - I did not realize you actually had to open the module......leaning a bit more each day.

[RecklezzRogue]

Thanks to all the thoughtful guidance here, I've things working quite well. There are however two behaviours i'd like to ajust:



(1) Creatures running the script (modified army_member) do not follow the controlled character until after the first battle (essentially, if you want their help, you have to bring the fight to them - not so hard, but not the intended effect).



(2) When travelling accross a large room or area, the creatures running the modified army_member script follow the controlled character in fits and starts. Also - it seems the closer they are to the controlled character the frequency of the fits & starts deline.



I have ideas on both these in terms of diagnosing, but I really am a rookie and some advice would be great.



Thanks....RR....
