I am working on an easy anti-plugger death system, and didn;t want to use a death token system.

this is what i have already, but not seeming to work, if anyone can please look it over and tell me what i have done wrong, it would be appreciated


OnCLientLeave:

Code:
#include "dar_func"
#include "aps_include"

void main() {
    object oPC = GetExitingObject();
    if(GetIsDead(oPC)) {
        SetPersistentInt(oPC,"dead",1);
        }

    OnSubraceLeave(oPC);
}





OnClientEnter:


Code:
#include "dar_func"
#include "aps_include"

void main() {
    object oPC;

    if(GetIsPC(oPC = GetEnteringObject())) {
        OnSubraceEnter(oPC);
    }
        if(OBJECT_INVALID == GetItemPossessedBy(oPC,"locationsaver")){
        CreateItemOnObject("locationsaver",oPC);
    }
    int Plug = GetPersistentInt(oPC, "dead");
        if(Plug==1) {
        effect eDamage = EffectDamage(10000,DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGICAL);
        ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT,eDamage,oPC);
        SetPersistentInt(oPC,"dead",0);

    }
}

NWN can't get any of the GetPCPlayerName/GetName at ClientLeave from a leaving player, SetPersistentInt uses these variables to store the integer. Your script uses these two variables, but since you try to get them at OnClientLeave, the script fails. There's a workaround for it, but it requires some editing.

First, OnClientEnter you store the two earlier mentioned variables locally on the player.

Like this:
Code:
SetLocalString(oPC, "PlayerCharacterName", GetName(oPC);
SetLocalString(oPC, "PlayerPlayerLoginName", GetPCPlayerName(oPC);


After that, you open the aps_include script and change the SetPersistentString() function into this one:
Code:
void SetPersistentString(object oObject, string sVarName, string sValue, int iExpiration =
                         0, string sTable = "pwdata")
{
    string sPlayer;
    string sTag;

    if (GetIsPC(oObject))
    {
        sPlayer = SQLEncodeSpecialChars(GetLocalString(oObject, "PlayerPlayerLoginName"));
        sTag = SQLEncodeSpecialChars(GetLocalString(oObject, "PlayerCharacterName"));
    }
    else
    {
        sPlayer = "~";
        sTag = GetTag(oObject);
    }

    sVarName = SQLEncodeSpecialChars(sVarName);
    sValue = SQLEncodeSpecialChars(sValue);

    string sSQL = "SELECT player FROM " + sTable + " WHERE player='" + sPlayer +
        "' AND tag='" + sTag + "' AND name='" + sVarName + "'";
    SQLExecDirect(sSQL);

    if (SQLFetch() == SQL_SUCCESS)
    {
        // row exists
        sSQL = "UPDATE " + sTable + " SET val='" + sValue +
            "',expire=" + IntToString(iExpiration) + " WHERE player='" + sPlayer +
            "' AND tag='" + sTag + "' AND name='" + sVarName + "'";
        SQLExecDirect(sSQL);
    }
    else
    {
        // row doesn't exist
        sSQL = "INSERT INTO " + sTable + " (player,tag,name,val,expire) VALUES" +
            "('" + sPlayer + "','" + sTag + "','" + sVarName + "','" +
            sValue + "'," + IntToString(iExpiration) + ")";
        SQLExecDirect(sSQL);
    }
}



Below is your OnClientEnter script, I added the two SetLocalString functions and cleaned it up a bit.

Code:
#include "dar_func"
#include "aps_include"
void main()
{
    object oPC = GetEnteringObject();

    SetLocalString(oPC, "PlayerCharacterName", GetName(oPC));
    SetLocalString(oPC, "PlayerPlayerLoginName", GetPCPlayerName(oPC));

    if( GetIsPC(oPC) )
    {
        OnSubraceEnter(oPC);
    }

    if( GetItemPossessedBy(oPC,"locationsaver") == OBJECT_INVALID )
    {
        CreateItemOnObject("locationsaver", oPC);
    }

    int Plug = GetPersistentInt(oPC, "dead");
    if( Plug == 1 )
    {
        effect eDamage = EffectDamage(10000, DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGICAL);
        ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eDamage, oPC);
        SetPersistentInt(oPC,"dead", 0);
    }
}


This'll most likely work, if not, just ask again.

how about using SetPersistentInt(oPC,"dead",1)' OnDeath event.

then change SetPersistentInt(oPC,"dead",0) when repawn, raise dead, and ressurect.. and leave my OnClientEnter the same, as well as aps_inclde.. ?

You can mark them dead on the death event, but do remember sometimes people come back to live though other means (DM's clicking heal buttons come to mind) so it's a good idea to also save on logout, and mabie in other situations as well.

I guess if you were paranoid enough you could set a psudo heartbeat off checking every minute if the player has come back to live though means other than respawn/raise/resurect.

ohh i forgot about the DM heal button...respawn, ress, raise dead are the only 3 other options. you know if the DM heal has its own script and the possible NWN base script name for it, can always add it there too if there is a script for it

Just FYI, GetName() works fine on a leaving player in the OnClientLeave script. But you're right, GetPCPlayerName() won't turn anything up at that point.

I'm having a similar problem with my death system and persistence. Could someone please advise me how to make death persistent with NWNX/APS? My scripting is ok, not spectacular, so it is a vexing situation for me.
