 |
|
| Possible with any current plugins (or even possible at all) to possess creatures that are owned by players? |

I've done it for tests, it's possible, but when two players controls one creature there are strange behaviours, also if you change player possession to other creature, this creature will be saved in to PC bic file.
So I've abandoned this for now, because this require more changes in other server functions. |

Why? I'd like to hear what you'd use it for, as I can't really think of an application for it offhand.

Off the top of my head charm comes to mind, but being able to directly take control of another player's charmed summon, or how about role-playing.
But besides that not everything needs to have a useful purpose to it anyway, what's wrong with good clean fun? have we all been scripting so long we've lost all of our rational thoughts and forgotten the main reason we're doing this to begin with. |

for example, PC's clone, like Shadow Adept prc one. The default or even custom AI is useless for the clone.

Both of the problem scenarios sound like they could easily have scripted protections put in place to prevent them. Thoughts? Maybe the plugin is really ok as is? |

Ok, it's one of my testing sources, i've added prototypes for
Possess, UnPosses and GetFlatFooted.
Please test possession well, and use it to your own responsibility 
(FOR TESTING ONLY) funcsext.test.tar.gz |

Thanks a bunch. I'll test it out and see if I can find any problems that can't be scripted around.  |

Found these in FunctionHooks.h file.
void PossessCreature(CNWSCreature *pCreature, dword pToPossess);
void UnpossessCreature(CNWSCreature *pCreature);
Pure guess, I haven't played with this plug-in, but...
| Code: |
void PossessCreature(object oPossessingCreature, object oCreatureToPossess );
void UnpossessCreature(object oCreature ); |
Share your results, if you would. |

Prototypes for nwscript:
| Code: | void PossessCreature(object oPC, object oCreature) {
SetLocalString(oPC, "NWNX!FUNCSEXT!POSSESS", ObjectToString(oCreature));
DeleteLocalString(oPC, "NWNX!FUNCSEXT!POSSESS");
}
void UnPossessCreature(object oPC, object oCreature) {
SetLocalString(oPC, "NWNX!FUNCSEXT!UNPOSSESS", " ");
DeleteLocalString(oPC, "NWNX!FUNCSEXT!UNPOSSESS");
} |
Somehow I have packed wrong file. |
