I never did have much luck getting those ones to work either.

So uh, I was trying to figure out for a while how the heck the reaction "imbue with material" I recall having at one point worked only to realize it was done through a script, apparently it was folded at least partially into another script but I can't figure out how to get one that makes something "Vaci Sunaclotho's skull helm" like the reaction one did, is that the only way to make it keep the name/body part stuff?

I recall playing with it some time back and accidentally making a roc feather dagger and such, was that broken by one of the more recent updates or am I just not looking in the right spot?

You may be looking for my script which I used to call imbue, but got changed to item/subtype-change. It will let you make things like roc feather daggers and such if used with modtools/reaction-trigger.

Boltgun and Meph, I'm pretty sure the problem was the self-targeting interaction rather than catching the syndrome.  I've never had much luck with self-targeting interactions for whatever reason.  What surprised me was that a probability 100 regional interaction didn't appear when it was the only option for that biome.  Interactions just hate me.  At least the Lua code works.

Can you post your interaction?

It's sort of a moot point now, though I'd like to know if I just plain did the interactions wrong.  These are the two interactions, though they wouldn't both be active at the same time.

Code: (interaction_tesb.txt) [Select]

interaction_tesb

[OBJECT:INTERACTION]

This interaction serves as a hook for a syndrome-trigger.

[INTERACTION:DOMESTICATE PET ROCK]
[I_SOURCE:REGION]
[IS_REGION:ANY]
[IS_FREQUENCY:100]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[IT_AFFECTED_CREATURE:PET_ROCK:ALL]
[IT_CANNOT_TARGET_IF_ALREADY_AFFECTED]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_INTERMITTENT:WEEKLY]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:Adorable pet rock]
[CE_MENT_ATTR_CHANGE:PATIENCE:200:1000:START:0]

[INTERACTION:GO_DOMESTIC]
[I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
[I_TARGET:ME:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[IT_CANNOT_TARGET_IF_ALREADY_AFFECTED]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:ME]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_CLASS:TESB_DOMESTICATE]
[SYN_NAME:Adorable Pet Rock]
[CE_MENT_ATTR_CHANGE:PATIENCE:200:1000:START:0]

And in onload.init:

modtools/syndrome-trigger -syndrome "Adorable pet rock" -command [ tesb-domesticate \\UNIT_ID ]

which I know works when run from the console.  The regional one might have misfired because regional interactions just don't pop up as often as modders would like them to.  The self-interacting one probably misfired because the critter has an [IMMOBILE] tag, which seems to inhibit all interactions.

The whole reason I needed the script in the first place is that immobile wild animals can't get themselves caught in traps, and I really want these guys to be adoptable.  There is also a condition under which they'll be spawn-unit'ed, but those start out tame anyway.

Well, your syndrome for the creature action interaction has each word capitalized, that could be causing the trouble. And I assume you gave the creature the correct, [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:GO_DOMESTIC]?

[Dirst]

Yes, they had the interaction enabled.  But I suspect the IMMOBILE prevented it from working.

[Roses]

Ah, yes I do remember reading something about immobile animals not using interactions.

[Max™]

Ohhhh, I figured subtype-change meant just weapon or armor subtype, thanks!

[bennerman]

Does anyone know why adv-bodyswap isn't working, or, alternatively, if I'm doing it wrong? the console says it doesn't exist. Dfusion "change adventurer" made the swap happen but all my companions ran away, screaming about "the violence"

edit: I should specify: I swapped into one of my companions to equip him properly and give back the items I accidentally gave him. So when I did, my companions (one of whom was originally me before the swap) ran away. When I slept, hoping they'd be back when I woke up, I couldn't move at all. No injuries, just slightly hungry and thirsty, but I couldn't move.

Box: What's wrong with teleport.lua? It was working for me the last time I checked (which was at least after v0.40.20, if not v0.40.24).

Couldn't see that anyone answered this: whenever I try to use it, I just get tracebacks.

[lethosor]

It works for me in 0.40.24-r3. Are you using it as described in the readme?

For example, this should teleport the selected unit to (44, 55, 167):

Code: [Select]

teleport -x 44 -y 55 -z 167


[Jordan~]

That might be what was wrong - I tried to get coords with "teleport showpos", but that also just returned tracebacks.

Edit: It was showing coords and then tracebacks, actually.

Edit again: Got the position and the unit ID, entered teleport -z 73 -y30 -z 155 16028 (and with the coordinates and the unit ID the other way around), and in both cases I'm getting tracebacks and no actual teleportation happening.

[lethosor]

That might be what was wrong - I tried to get coords with "teleport showpos", but that also just returned tracebacks.

You have to include the hyphen: "teleport -showpos"

(In general, most plugins parse commands manually and don't require hyphens, but several scripts use a centralized method of argument processing that does require hyphens.)

[Jordan~]

Ironically, teleport -showpos just returns tracebacks; teleport showpos returns coordinates and tracebacks.

Also tried using the cursor to indicate the unit rather than an ID. Same deal.

[lethosor]

There's no way "teleport showpos" can work. Can you copy and paste the traceback here? (Read: copy and paste - if you're on Windows, the relevant menu is available by clicking somewhere in the title bar.)

[Jordan~]

Code: [Select]

[lethosor]

It looks like you've made modifications to teleport.lua - the script in the most recent release doesn't have "==" anywhere on that line. Try replacing the script with that version (clicking the "Raw" button will allow you to save it more easily).

[DragonDePlatino]

What is the command for identifying the tile under your cursor? Like, if I pointed at a grass tile, it would output "GrassLightFloor1"? I've been searching through the help files but I just can't find it...

[lethosor]

There's "probe", although it'll give you a lot more information than that.
