Hello!

Simple question: I have two creatures: X (summoned) and Y (summoner). How do I make creature Y face creature X using creature X's script?

 

My problem is the object.

 

IF
Global("Facemenow", "LOCALS", 0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ActionOverride(LastSummonerOf(Myself), FaceObject())
SetGlobal("Facemenow", "LOCALS", 1)
END

Thanks for your suggestions/tips.

Myself?

FaceObject([PC])

ActionOverride(LastSummonerOf(Myself),FaceObject(Myself))

 

 

... could work.

PS, remove the spaces in all of the lines !

Unfortunately Myself does not work.

 

The way I see it, LastSummonerOf(Myself) is Actor Y and would end up facing himself with FaceObject(Myself)?

[Salk]

I was hoping to use FaceObject("NAMEOFTHECREATURE") but this doesn't seem to work either.

 

I guess I'll just have to give up...

if the creature's script name is unique, you could hardcode it in. In the unlikely event that the locations are known, you could also use coordinates.

 

edit: scriptname should work just fine, make sure something else is not going awry.

The scriptname is wtpwish and I tested this to work if I replace "wtpwish" with Player1.

ActionOverride(LastSummonerOf(Myself),FaceObject("wtpwish"))

I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

[Salk]

Okay, I think I understand what's happening.

 

If I used the console:

CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("wtpwish")

then it works.

 

But the same creature (wtpwish) summoned via Summon Creature (67) cannot be identified as object for some reason. Any advice?

 

UPDATE: As I experiment further, I noticed something interesting. If I save the game with the summoned creature and then reload, everything works. There must be something that fixes it upon reloading the saved game.
