Could you list the string head stuff cus i can't find it and how would i make the 15% hp only when enemy is around

KensaiRyu · Post by **KensaiRyu** » Wed May 23, 2001 12:42 pm

IF
Exists([EVILCUTOFF])
HPPercent(Myself,15)
THEN
RESPONSE# 100
RunAwayFrom(LastAttackerOf(Myself))
END

The quaffs a potion string is not vital however it lets you know that he just used a potion.

I am sending you a zip file that has all the display string # 's in it in alpha betical order.

Heres my script will it work?
IF
HPPercentLT(Myself,50)//If my hit points
// are less than 50%
HasItem("Potn52",Myself)//And I have a Potion
// (of extra healing)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
UseItem("Potn52",Myself)//drink the potion
END

IF // if my hitpoints are less than
HPPercentLT(Myself,15)// 15%
THEN
RESPONSE #100 // Run away
RunAwayFrom(LastAttackerOf(Myself),150)
END

IF
See(Enemy)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
EquipMostDamagingMelee
THEN #20
OR(5)
Attack(NearestEnemyTo(Player 1))
Attack(NearestEnemyTo(Player 2))
Attack(NearestEnemyTo(Player 3))
Attack(NearestEnemyTo(Player 4))
Attack(NearestEnemyTo(Player 5))
Attack(NearestEnemyTo(Player 6))
END

And how do i post at bgscripts?
And, how do i nest?

Change it to this and it will work: (i compiled it and checked.)

IF
HPPercentLT(Myself,50)//If my hit points
// are less than 50%
HasItem("Potn52",Myself)//And I have a Potion
// (of extra healing)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
UseItem("Potn52",Myself)//drink the potion
END

IF // if my hitpoints are less than
HPPercentLT(Myself,15)// 15%
Exists([EVILCUTOFF])
THEN
RESPONSE #100 // Run away
RunAwayFrom(LastAttackerOf(Myself),150)
END

IF
See(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))
THEN
RESPONSE #50
EquipMostDamagingMelee()
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))
RESPONSE #25
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player1))
RESPONSE #25
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player2))
RESPONSE #25
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player3))
RESPONSE #25
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player4))
RESPONSE #25
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player5))
RESPONSE #25
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player6))
END

And how do i post at bgscripts?

Join the group and go to Post.

And, how do i nest?

Complex nesting isnt really possible with scripting. Its not like programming. For a good example of the level of nesting you can do look at Sarkyns Scripts in the file section of BG scripts.

Also I tried to send you the file of String reference numbers but It was returned to me because your mailbox could not store a file of that size (its 900kb). It is listed in the system files area of bgscripts under DIALOGTXT.ZIP.

Thank you why say quafs a potion?

Craig that's an expression from wine-drinking culture

a gulp not a sip, if you like.

CRAIG ROFLMAO! Go to bgscripts then click on edit member preferences in the right corner and disable emails sent to you...*still laughing*...I like getting the emails you can learn alot from them... but thats me...*snickers* (they filled up your mailbox thats funny)

KensaiRyu · Post by **KensaiRyu** » Thu May 24, 2001 9:54 am

See([EVILCUTOFF])
THEN
RESPONSE #50
EquipMostDamagingMelee()
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))
RESPONSE #25
EquipMostDamagingMelee()
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player1))
RESPONSE #25
EquipMostDamagingMelee()
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player2))
RESPONSE #25
EquipMostDamagingMelee()
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player3))
RESPONSE #25
EquipMostDamagingMelee()
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player4))
RESPONSE #25
EquipMostDamagingMelee()
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player5))
RESPONSE #25
EquipMostDamagingMelee()
Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Player6))

Try that. Also I will send you the Dialog zip file if you delete some of those *snicker* posts...

Anytime.

If you have any more questions about ai post here.

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Thu May 24, 2001 10:50 am

have you e-mailed me yet?

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Thu May 24, 2001 10:54 am

It keeps on saing "invalid file name"

velvetfreak · Post by **velvetfreak** » Thu May 24, 2001 7:29 pm

KR, how do the RESPONSE # numbers work? Is it random between the entries, with higher numbers given a better chance? I thought it must be a percentage given that the typical value is 100 but it seems that this is not so.

The stew thickens over at Yahoo groups. I'm not inclined to comment further until the dust settles, except to say that either backroom deals are being made or someone's making a lot of false claims.

KensaiRyu · Post by **KensaiRyu** » Thu May 24, 2001 10:24 pm

The response numbers are indeed a percentage however, they can be used different ways.

Response #100
Attack enemy 1

Response #100
Attack enemy 1

Response #100
Attack enemy 1

Response #100
Attack enemy 1

Response #100
Attack enemy 1

Response #100
Attack enemy 1

Response #100
Attack enemy 1

Response #100 (occurs 10 % of the time)
Attack enemy 2

Response #100 (occurs 10 % of the time)
Attack enemy 2

Response #100
Attack enemy 1

This is the same as :

Response #80 (occurs 80% of the time)
Attack enemy 1

Response #20 (occurs 20 % of the time)
Attack enemy 2

I tried to send it to you again and it got returned to me.

I will try again.

velvetfreak · Post by **velvetfreak** » Thu May 24, 2001 10:56 pm

OK, just to make sure I've got this right:

IF
Blah Blah
THEN
RESPONSE #80
Attack(whatever)
END

This would still result in an attack action every time the IF returned true, right? IOW if there are no other RESPONSEs to evaluate it will use the one it's got every time.

@KensaiRyu : I have the following problem - I have made Shar-Teel as an NPC, however I wanted to make her more interesting - She wants the challenge with the strongest character in the group. Everything is ok to the some moment : She asks for the challenge. If we don't agree then she just waits for us and we can agree to challege her later. When we agree to fight her she attacks the strongest character as she is supposed to do, however she doesn't start the dialogue when she defeats my character or she is defeated. I have tried many things : SetInterrupt, ClearAllActions, StartDialogInterrupt and many more - nothing works. So my question what is wrong with this script (this is one of many versions) ? (this is her override script)

IF
Global("SharteelFight","GLOBAL",1)
HPPercentLT("Sharte1",50)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
DialogInterrupt(TRUE)
SetInterrupt(FALSE)
SetGlobal("SharteelFight","GLOBAL",2)
SetInterrupt(TRUE)
StartDialog("Sharte1",Player1)
END

IF
Global("SharteelFight","GLOBAL",1)
HPPercentLT(StrongestOf,50)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("SharteelFight","GLOBAL",3)
Dialog(Player1)
END

IF
Global("SharteelFight","GLOBAL",1)
AttackedBy(StrongestOf,DEFAULT)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
AttackReevaluate(StrongestOf,30)
END

IF
AttackedBy([PC],DEFAULT)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
Enemy()
END

IF
Global("SharteelFight","GLOBAL",1)
HPPercentGT(Myself,74)
HPPercentGT(StrongestOf,49)
See(StrongestOf)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ActionOverride(StrongestOf,Attack("Sharte1"))
AttackReevaluate(StrongestOf,30)
END

As the basis I used her original script from BG1, but it seems it doesn't work, then I used ppjon.bcs (Irenicus starts dialogue before he escapes from the spellhold after his HP is lower than 20), but it also doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Can you send me a copy of the Npc and scripts, I will take a look at it.I need them to be able to do some testing.

Manveru · Post by **Manveru** » Fri May 25, 2001 12:43 am

I've sent it to you....
