 |
|
Looking into nwnx_sql I've found:
| Code: | sSQL = "UPDATE " + sTable + " SET val=%s,expire=" + IntToString(iExpiration) + " WHERE player='" + sPlayer + "' AND tag='" + sTag + "' AND name='" + sVarName + "'";
SetLocalString(GetModule(), "NWNX!SQL!SETSCORCOSQL", sSQL);
StoreCampaignObject ("NWNX", "-", oObject); |
So: will it really store the object or SetCampaignObject will store the object?
Additionally: I'm really a newbee on PWs, so I don't know: what are common uses for storing an object? |

NWNX hooks StoreCampaignObject() to store objects, but the other pieces of code in SetPersistentObject() are necessary to tell it where to store the object data. Basically, you should use SetPersistentObject() in almost all cases.
The most common uses for storing objects are persistent chests, merchants, and corpses. If you only store by resref, modifications made to the item in-game (variables; changes to name, appearance, etc.) will be lost. Storing the entire object avoids this problem.
(Disclaimer: this is based on my knowledge of NWN1, it might be different for NWN2.)
