Use a GetLocation command to get their location when they die. Call it lPCLocation or something. Create a WP there. Destroy the last WP you made (actually better do that first) Make the portal port to the new WP.

I'm going out for a curry so I can't write you a script just at this moment. Good luck!

I thought there might already be a script made. I'll do my best to create one, we'll see hw well that works out.

I know there are public domain respawn scripts out there, you just have to look for them. I'd help you, but as I said I can really only script what I can do on Lilac Soul's program, and respawn scripts are a little beyond my meager talents.

Or you could store the location on an object. That way each new location will overwrite the old one.

Try something like this in your respawn script:

object oPC=GetFirstPC();
object oStorer=GetObjectByTag("Tag of object to store location");
location lDied=GetLocation(oPC);

SetLocalLocation(oStorer, "death point", lDied);

Then the return script in a conversation could be:

object oPC=GetPCSpeaker();
object oStorer=GetObjectByTag("Tag of object to store location");

location lDied=GetLocalLocation(oStorer, "death point");

AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToLocation(lDied));

I feel inadequate again, I think its time to start a "How many pull-ups can I do thread".


How would I go about implementing those scripts? I think I got the respawn script right, I just added it to the end of the default script. The second bit I dont know where to put at all.

The first part is fine, I do that a lot because I prefer fewer files.

The second bit needs to be put in a conversation. Everyline in a conversation had two events to place scripts: text appears when (to check whether or not to show this text) and action taken (to run a script that performs an action). So write a new script and shove everything between the {} in void main. Then save it and put it in an action taken event in a conversation.

A: How can I help?
PC: Teleport me to where I last died.
A: Okey dokey! (Put script here in action taken event.)

I messed around with the toolset, and I have learned I'm stupid .

Do I need to change anything about these scripts?
I tried putting them in as is and it didnt work.

Maybe it's because they're lacking the beginning and end tags, which you see on the short scripts that are there by default. Put that script in between beginning and end tags, like so:

Put this

void main()
{

before it, and this

}

after it, i.e.:

quote: void main() { object oPC=GetPCSpeaker(); object oStorer=GetObjectByTag("Tag of object to store location"); location lDied=GetLocalLocation(oStorer, "death point"); AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToLocation(lDied)); object oPC=GetPCSpeaker(); object oStorer=GetObjectByTag("Tag of object to store location"); location lDied=GetLocalLocation(oStorer, "death point"); AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToLocation(lDied)); }

I haven't actually checked the script to see if it works, but that's at least something you'll need to do to get any script to work.

By the way, any other CEP users out there? It's both good and bad for builders; good because you get a ton more placeables and creature types, but bad because, well, there are so many it gets a bit overwhelming.

I already had it paced properly, I had to replace "Tag of object to store location" with the tag of an object. I had thought it would create the object automaticaly but I had to place an instance somewhere in the module for it to move around.

I use it all the time. I couldn't imagine NOT having it, actually now. The placeables for a start are so useful, and the monster models are essential.

Then there's all the new weapon models and types...

Actually, I've been pretty closely linked with a single server since I started playing NWN online, and they never used CEP. Now that I'm with a new CEP version, I just downloaded it a week ago, i'm a fan, but I wish they had some new tilesets with it (as a builder, I just those tilesets).

I haven't played very many single player modules; I guess I just find multiplayer more enjoyable, and truly open-ended. That, and I'm a (recovering ) D&D player, so I'm down with the whole roleplay thing.

I think NWN-style multiplayer is the wave of the future for persistant online games, at least it should be. Tons of different servers, player operated, and no monthly payments. to player-run servers and not having to pay companies every month (unless you run the server ).
