Decoding NWN memory - Part 2 - SetLocal* structures

[isilweo]

hello again all readers (if there are any ;)
This part will be about local variables - variables which you can store on object using SetLocal* functions (and read using GetLocal)
They're quite important thing cause in future versions of nwnx they'll be used to pass data to game from external source.
So basicly we have:
SetLocalInt
SetLocalString
SetLocalObject
SetLocalFloat
SetLocalLocation

SLocalVarsPtr:
int varsArrayPointer;
int varsNumber;

SLocalVarsArrayElement:
SNWNString VariableName; //4bytes cause of sizeof(SNWNString) - see part 1 - basics
int iVariableType;
int iVariableValue; //or pointer to structure

it's important to note that iVariableValue can be a value (ie when type is int, float) but also can be a pointer to another structure (ie strings, locations)

iVariableType can be:
1 - integer
2 - float
3 - string
4 - object
5 - location

1, 2 and 4 are simple types. that means in iVariableValue is theire value.
3 - string - pointer to SNWNString
5 - location - pointer to SNWNLocalVarLocation

SNWNLocalVarLocation:
float PositionX
float PositionY
float PositionZ
float OrientationX
float OrientationY
float OrientationZ
int AreaId

example (no comments - you can do it as your homework ;)

Thanks for the infos, isilweo, I am sure they will come in handy !

Find it weird that local location is a position vector and orientation vector structure? Why wouldn't it be a position vector + facing angle(s)?

Stellar work!
