Alright, new strange Idea for everyone to ponder, and or tear apart...

Now unlike normally....Wait, scrtach that out..... Exactly like normally, I post here as I have a half formed idea, which is(As it turns out) far beyond me.

Here's the script I stumbled upon with a recent Builder-quest. http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Scripts.Detail&id=1746

The idea is that a thief, get's stuck in cutscene mode, now while I'm far from competent, What I had in mind was a minor alteration.

I want thieve's to get 1 attempt to PP anotehr player a day, my issues lies in how to write in the initial check, and how to Re-write the conditional of the existing one, so that it only trigger's when its been tried before.


As APS tracks name and login, I was thinking a string would be best to track target's name/login

something for example like

    player tag name val expire last
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Pride TRIED 1 20050515154538
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Pixie Mage TRIED 1 20050515163821
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Calurion Feard TRIED 1 20050515165146
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Shelin Fynolt TRIED 1 20050516071025
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Cyricist Assassin TRIED 1 20050516094422
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Shadow TRIED 1 20050516094444
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Minotaur Shaman TRIED 1 20050516095440
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Soran Nightwing TRIED 1 20050516101211
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Troglodyte Warrior TRIED 1 20050516170829
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Tanden Rashelz TRIED 1 20050516170831
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Lizardfolk Shaman TRIED 1 20050516171331
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Adynathor Galer TRIED 1 20050516172451
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Vilmar Ilphukiir TRIED 1 20050516172530
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Water Elemental TRIED 1 20050516172800
  • -Uphoria- Tanden Rashelz Gwenhwyfar TRIED 1 20050516185011



I was thinking of trying to change it to use GetName() of the target as the variable name, and the Login to be the value (Assumed that I'm using a string) and have it expire after 1 day, so as to prevent players form spamming PP on anyone/thing. My trouble presently is it cares about NPC's, in addition to what I wrote above. anyway, here's what I was using to get that... any inputs welcome.

So i had to get smarter..

Anyway is anyone able to find problems with this before I put it in? It does compile, bu I learned a long time ago that the script editor is aobut as trustable as an 'honest' Halfling.

Code:
#include "aps_include"
// x2_mod_def_unaqu,prc_onunaquire
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// This script has been auto-generated by HakInstaller to call
// multiple handlers for the onunaquireitem event.
//
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void main()
{
object oDropped = GetModuleItemLost();
object oThief = GetModuleItemAcquiredBy();
object oTarget = GetModuleItemLostBy();
object oStolen = GetModuleItemLost();
string sTarLogin = GetPCPlayerName(oTarget);
string sTarName = GetName(oTarget);
string sThiName = GetName(oThief);
string sTargName = GetPersistentString(oThief, sTarName, "ThiefTracking");

    ExecuteScript("prc_onunaquire", OBJECT_SELF);

/* get item that was stolen only by player char, does not get items in barter
unless the item being bartered has stolen flag allready set */
if  (GetIsPC(oTarget)==FALSE) return;
if (sTargName != sTarName )
    {
    SetPersistentString(oThief , sTarLogin, sTarName, 1, "ThiefTracking");
    return;
    }

if(
   (GetStolenFlag(oStolen) == TRUE && GetIsPC(oThief)== TRUE)&&
   (GetPersistentString(oThief , sTarLogin, "ThiefTracking")== sTarName)
  )
    {
    // Sets player in cut scene, they cannot save or move
    SetCutsceneMode(oThief, TRUE);
    // Set Stolen Flag to False so it won't have problems being coppied
    SetStolenFlag(oStolen, FALSE);
    // Return stolen item to player that it was stolen from
    CopyItem(oStolen, oTarget);
    // Destroy the stolen item from thief's inventory
    DelayCommand(0.2, DestroyObject(oStolen));
    // Kill the moron
    DelayCommand(7.5, ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectDeath(), oThief));
    // take him out of cut scene. (Optional)
    DelayCommand(8.0, SetCutsceneMode(oThief, FALSE));
    }
}
