Port Function from Linux funcsext to Windows

[BelowTheBelt]

Would someone be willing to help port the linux function CreateGenericTriggerOnLocation from the linux funcsext plugin to windows? I'm happy to support/test/do whatever, but have no clue how to start.

(Thanks to Bhaal for finding this function in the linux version)
GitHub here


Essentially, I'm needing to be able to spawn a trigger from a script. THis seems to spawn a trap and then convert that trap into either a generic trigger or an area transition.

object CreateGenericTriggerOnLocation(location lLocation, float fSize=2.0f, string sTag="") {
object oTrigger = CreateTrapAtLocation(1, lLocation, fSize, sTag);
if(GetIsObjectValid(oTrigger)) {
SetLocalString(oTrigger, "NWNX!FUNCSEXT!SETISGENERICTRIGGER", " ");
DeleteLocalString(oTrigger, "NWNX!FUNCSEXT!SETISGENERICTRIGGER");
}
return oTrigger;
}

Thanks!

Do you have IDA infront of you with the nwserver symbols for win32?

Thanks for the help!!

What is IDA? I'll get it, but need a little help in the right direction...

Regarding the symbols, from the below comment from the forum previously, it 'may' exist in the windows _funcs plugin? What file should I look in to pull it out? This is the best my google-fu has been able to turn up.

Short answer: yes, there are 'official' symbols for nwserver.exe, they're just not embedded in the .exe itself. Contact me or any other NWNX developer to get them.
Regarding the Win32 version of Core-2.8 NWServer API: as far as I know, MaxRock already has something similar in his nwnx_funcs plugin.

I don't mind giving a go with a little bit (read that as 'a lot') of help.

Thanks!

IDA stands for Interactive Disassembler or something along those lines.

It is possibly one of the better ones to use with nwn and nwnx development.

There are symbols - I have a copy of them, I think the community tries to avoid posting them on public sites to avoid hacker/script kiddies from messing with other peoples PW.
I will see if I can host them somewhere for you to download from.

Try getting IDA free version, or dare I say it..... 'acquire' a full version through whatever means you want...

IDA can then open the symbols, and let you get the memory addresses of the methods within the nwserver executable.
