TOEEWB help plz

Get something to trigger a flag when you want the random encounter to happen - for instance, if it is after killing such-n-such an NPC, give them a san_dying script that triggers flag 801 (for instance).

Then put that flag in data/scr/random_encounter.py in the bit for predetermined encounters, according to the equation it describes.

I forgot to put the random_encounter.py in my mod, no wonder it hasn't been happening :yawn:

 

Sure, lay it on me, Khalamar! My bug-report e-mail is in the installation docs.
Make sure that the e-mail subject is "ToEE World Builder" (otherwise it may be deleted without warning).
I'll try to help if I can.

Well, I looked through the files (not in very much detail yet, but still), and I can say that:

1) The dialog doesn't work since there is no script associated with the NPC that's supposed to talk using dialog #401 (remember, there's got to be a script called py00401<something>.py that will initiate the dialog).

Assuming that you did everything else right, the 3rd level script doesn't work because of the bad indentation in the file. You have:

Code:

def san_heartbeat( attachee, triggerer ):
for obj in game.obj_list_vicinity(attachee.location,OLC_PC):
	obj.award_experience(3000)
attachee.destroy()
return RUN_DEFAULT

and it's not correct because the script function must have indentation. So, this would be correct:

Code:

def san_heartbeat( attachee, triggerer ):
        for obj in game.obj_list_vicinity(attachee.location,OLC_PC):
                obj.award_experience(3000)
        attachee.destroy()
        return RUN_DEFAULT

In conclusion I'd like to say that I saw that you haven't been following the tutorial closely but you were trying to alter it on the fly (which is not a bad thing, of course - creativity is always welcome!), but since you're new to ToEE modding I would seriously recommend you to try and follow the tutorial letter by letter at least once, trying to understand every step, so that you can be sure that you got everything right. Once you've mastered all the stuff in the tutorial, you may want to go to changing things. But that's my personal recommendation, feel free to accept/ignore it.

I hope that made sense.

Yeah right, seems that MS Word messed up the indentation in the tutorial file after I saved (which it likes to do sometimes). I'll try to update it the next time I make an update to ToEEWB.

EDIT: Updated the tutorial (please redownload the v1.5 package).
