 |
|
Hello, I'm thinking about integrate some concrete example of use about the function in NWNX4.
Could you, please, help me to write, in this post, some example ?
Something like :
"I want to put a persistent box to my module for allowing PC to stock their equipement...so i wrote a script like that :....SQLExecuteDirect here allow my to make a request...."
If each member put just one example, i'm sure we could have a sufficient panel to show to beginner how to use NWNX4...
Thanks for your help |

Place this in your "on PC loaded" script:
| Code: |
#include "nwnx_sql"
void main()
{
object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
location loc = GetPersistentLocation(oPC, "exitloc");
if (GetIsObjectValid(GetAreaFromLocation((loc))) {
AssignCommand(oPC, ActionJumpToLocation(loc));
}
}
|
And place this in your On Client Exit* script:
| Code: |
#include "nwnx_sql"
void main()
{
object oPC = GetExitingObject();
location loc = GetLocation(oPC);
if (GetIsObjectValid(GetAreaFromLocation((loc))) {
SetPersistentLocation(oPC, "exitloc", loc);
}
}
|
* caveat: I seem to recall that NWN had some dififculty in that the PC's location was no always valid by the time the PC logged off. I haven't tested this under NWN2; if anyone has and it's still an issue, pl. let me know and I'll provide a different method.

That is a very good idea. A collection of 5-6 short examples that are easy to understand would be very helpful for newcomers. They would not need to belong to the DB department alone, the Time demo plugin for example demonstrates a nice use of the Timer plugin.

If Grinning fool is agreee we could take one of his script in the demo module to demonstrate it...After you will can add this exemple to the timer plugin documentation... |

Sure, that's what it's there for.

So here his an exammple of using timer plugin :
| Quote: |
// Name : e_trig_enter
// Purpose : Fires when the PC pulls the lever.
// Authors : Grinning Fool [Marc Paradise]
// Modified : December 6th, 2006
#include "nwnx_time"
void main()
{
AssignCommand(OBJECT_SELF, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_PLACEABLE_ACTIVATE));
AssignCommand(OBJECT_SELF, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_PLACEABLE_DEACTIVATE));
object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
int id = GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "id");
int state = GetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "state");
string name = "Timer" + IntToString(id);
string time;
if (state) {
time = StopTimer(OBJECT_SELF, name);
SendMessageToPC(oPC, name + " has been stopped.");
SendMessageToPC(oPC, "Time since you started " + name + ": " + time + " microseconds");
SetFirstName(OBJECT_SELF, "Start " + name);
} else {
SendMessageToPC(oPC, name + " has been started.");
StartTimer(OBJECT_SELF, name);
SetFirstName(OBJECT_SELF, "Stop " + name);
}
SetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "state", !state);
}
|
I think you could add this example in the documentation of timer plugin pap's. :
Perhaps you could add a note about the possibility to use this in a quest or a mini game...
For example, in a quest you could ask one or more player to activate a number of switch defined in the script (5 for example, placed in different position in the map) and the script verify "timelastswitch" - "timefirstswitch" if it's inferior to a number defined in seconde (15s for example) then a door could be open, unless the lever are reset...It could make that a quest must be done by 2 or more player !...
Another example, you place a mini game with a little labyrinth with a trigger in the beginning of the labyrinth and another in the end...If player make less than the time you're asking to do, then i won ! |

like Nwn1 when you Exit, in the OnModuleExit script, nwn2 don't have a valid location. |

could that be because of where you put the script ?
Because if the script is onclientleave...Perhaps it's lauching when the PC is already gone ! So there is'nt any valid location to save... |

It is true that the PC object is no longer a valid PC at client leave and thus no longer has a valid location. But you can still access local variables stored on a pc at client leave by useing GetExitingObject(). So if you have maintained a local var copy of location and kept it updated you can get a useable location that way. This is also true for any other local vars kept on the PC.

Yes, that's the route I took. On server heartbeat, I'd update a local location on the PC, since that's a fairly low-cost operation. Once the PC logged out, I would use the value retrieved from the local variable to save it to DB.
