can someone show me an example of using this function? Im look on how to put them in and take them out of limbo
| Code: | // Jump to Limbo.
// Object can be returned from Limbo with JumpToLocation/JumpToObject
int JumpToLimbo(object oObject); |

unfortunately i dont understand how i can target the creature in limbo. JumpToObject wants a object to function. This is an int. I dont understand how to target the object in limbo.
JumpToObject(JumpToLimbo(oObject)) cant work due to mismatched types. I dont understand how to taget the object when its here as an int |

You need to keep a reference to oObject around somewhere else (for instance, in a local).
| Code: |
SetLocalObject(oSelf, "Limboed", oObj);
JumpToLimbo(oObj);
... later ...
object oObj = GetLocalObject(oSelf, "Limboed");
AssignCommand(oObj, JumpToLocation(lTarget));

would this work to store creatures in a area that have several waypoints and creatures set in them. this being ran from the OnModLoad
| Code: | #include "nwnx_functions"
void StoreCreatures(object oArea)
{
object oObj = GetFirstObjectInArea(oArea);//creature holding room
int n;
while(GetIsObjectValid(oObj) && GetObjectType(oObj) == OBJECT_TYPE_WAYPOINT){
n = 1;
object oSpawn = GetNearestCreatureToLocation(CREATURE_TYPE_IS_ALIVE, TRUE, GetLocation(oObj), n);
if(GetDistanceBetween(oSpawn, oObj) < 4.5){
SetLocalObject(oArea, GetTag(oObj) + "_" + IntToString(n), oSpawn);
JumpToLimbo(oSpawn);
n++;
}else{
continue;
}
oObj = GetNextObjectInArea(oArea);
}
} |
and this beign used in a CreateObject statement
| Code: | object SpawnInCreature(object oArea)
{
object oSpawnRoom = GetObjectByTag("CREATURE_STORAGE_ROOM");
int nCount = GetLocalInt(GetWaypointByTag("TAG_OF_AREA_CALLING"), "CreatureCount");
return GetLocalObject(oSpawnRoom, GetTag(oArea) + "_" + IntToString(TrueRandom(nCount)));

| Does the JumpT option to return them from limbo delete the local object? Can it be reused or will it need to be reset? |

You control locals; they will only be set or deleted when you do so.

I am not sure if this is an issue with the function or with the scripting. if its in the scripting, i will take my question to BW if wanted
The script below is working as i am getting all the messages as i should be. I set up a ObjectToString() message to myself to make sure that the script is finding a LocalObject to use for a creature and it is finding them and the hex numbers are changing thru the different levels i went thru. So i am sure that it is finding the various localobjects for use.
But the problem is that thru all the areas, only one creature is actually showing up. Is this an issue with the JumpToLocation? I am going to try it now with JumpToObject and use the waypoint as the object
| Code: | #include "inc_common_funcs"
#include "nwnx_functions"
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
location GetRandomSpawnPoint(object oArea, object oCreature)
{
object oWayPoint = GetFirstObjectInArea(oArea);
int nWayPointTally = 0;
while(GetIsObjectValid(oWayPoint)){
nWayPointTally += 1;
oWayPoint = GetNextObjectInArea(oArea);}
object oSpawnPoint = GetNearestObjectByTag("SpawnPoint", oCreature, TrueRandom(nWayPointTally));
return GetLocation(oSpawnPoint);
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
object SpawnInCreature(object oArea)
{
string sAreaTag = GetTag(oArea);
int nCount = GetLocalInt(GetWaypointByTag(sAreaTag), "CreatureCount");
object oSpawnRoom = GetObjectByTag("EncounterStorage");
SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "We are in SpawnInCreature()");
return GetLocalObject(oSpawnRoom, GetTag(oArea) + "_" + IntToString(TrueRandom(nCount)));
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int TotalMandatorySpawns(object oCreature)
{
int X = 2;
if(GetHitDice(oCreature) > 30) {return X += 4;}
if(GetHitDice(oCreature) > 20) {return X += 3;}
if(GetHitDice(oCreature) > 10) {return X += 2;}
return X;
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

{
SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "inside the mandatory placing");

int i;int n;
for(i = 0; i < nCount; i++){
SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "inside the first for|we are on " +IntToString(i));
object oMandPoint = GetNearestObjectByTag("MandatorySpawnPoint", GetFirstObjectInArea(oArea), i);
location lMandSpawn = GetLocation(oMandPoint);
for(n = 0; n < nTest; n++){
SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "inside the 2nd for| we are on " +IntToString(n));
object oMonster = SpawnInCreature(oArea);
AssignCommand(oMonster, JumpToLocation(lMandSpawn));
}
}
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

lSpawnPoint = GetRandomSpawnPoint(oArea, oCreature);//FIX ME
object oMonster = SpawnInCreature(oArea);
AssignCommand(oMonster, JumpToLocation(lSpawnPoint));
SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "creating a creature");
}

| i have done several tests, but this still has yet to spawn more then one in an area. Will the JumpToObject with the function work in loops as it is scripted? |

You need to use CopyObject() to copy the one stored in limbo. You're only getting one creature because you're moving your original with JumpToLocation.

| now that did get it working fine, but i have noticed a small glitch. in the tower i have been testing this in, there are a choice of 2 creatures per level with 3 at the top. on all of the levels that have 2 choices, it only ever pulls in 1. It doesnt switch between the 2. and on the top level, where there are 3, it only chooses 2. I think it is not settingthe count on them right |

Is JumpToLimbo() supposed to remove the creature from the area? In my loop, it is still reading them as valid in the area
this is inside a loop
| Code: | if( !GetIsPC( oMaster)){
WriteTimestampedLogEntry( "Storing - "+GetName( oSpawn)+" in "+GetName(oArea));
SetLocalObject( oArea, GetTag( oObj) +"_" +IntToString( n), oSpawn);
JumpToLimbo( oSpawn);
if(GetIsObjectValid(oSpawn)){
WriteTimestampedLogEntry("oSpawn is valid after JumpToLimbo() and is being destroyed");
DestroyObject(oSpawn);
}
++n;
} |
