Garrulous Glaahk Lowly Exile Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Need some help. I'm working a special where a npc gets blown up. I got the explosion action, the death sound, and the disappearing act all down correctly, but how do I make his ashes? I want to put an ash mark on the same square that he was on just a moment ago (25,29) but I can't figure out how to do that. Any help would be wonderful.

Well-Actually War Trall Ash Lael Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I don't believe you can place fields with specials. But what you can do is make an ash item or terrain type and place that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Ash is having a senior moment. You can indeed place ashes, with the "Place sfx" node under the category of Town Mode specials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Lowly Exile Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Ok... I figured out the "Place SFX" part, but it wants a rectangle to place the ashes. How do I get the ash mark to show up on one square? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Make your top corner and your bottom corner the same square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Also, remember- when inputting coordinates, the x and y values go in the opposite order. That's a good way to trip people up. And Ash... Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk Lowly Exile Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Well... the person I'm blowing up in the scenario is a "real" person. I'm making a scenario just for some friends to take out their anger on a certain someone in-game. It's fun to watch your least favorite co-worker teleport in front of you then have all the townspeople start pelting him with rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 That ounds as a very good idea to me. Nothing like blowing the man up when you don't like him. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody wz. As Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Just don't make the scenario while at work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk Lowly Exile Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Quote: Originally written by Kelandon:The scenario will be called, "Kill Co-Worker, Win Prize." That sounds like one of those dunking games you see at county fairs. I wonder if I could do something like that. Have the npc "fall" into the water after the bridge disappears and play the waterfall scream sound? Brilliant! Heh. I originally had this set up as a mini quest within "Valley of Dying Things" because I wasn't sure if I remembered how to do all the special programming. It started off with an npc representing me ("You see an incredibly attractive woman sitting at the table. And I mean, damn, she's hot.") giving a quest to find the co-worker and bring back his head. It started growing from there and I remembered how to do things, so I just made it into it's own little scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer & Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 It sounds good there's a BoE scenario designer still prepared to use his talent. Good luck with your scenario! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 While gender isn't always obvious from context, the post immediately before yours gives some pretty heavy hints as to the gender of the poster. "His" is the wrong pronoun. —Alorael, who will now duck back out and pretend he was never here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer & Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Calm down Alorael. Don't get stressy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Cuz, you know, being sressy is a bad thing. Hey everybody, it's one of the few times I've seen "your postliness" as his title, yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Lowly Exile Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Sressy? Wha..? I've not heard that term. And yes, I'm a chick. A hot chick, if you want to believe the scenarios I write. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer & Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Really? Stressy is another word for stress. It can lead to heart attacks and in extreme case's, your hair may fall out. If you ask me, Alorael should change his origanal name back. It was cool, he never should have changed it. Come everyone, chant! change change change change!

Garrulous Glaahk Lowly Exile Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Ok, "stressy" I know, but they were saying "sressy". No "t". I can't keep up with all you young whippersnappers and your internet lingo. In my day we actually had to smile! We didn't have no ":" or ")" to do it for us. You kids got it so easy.... *rants...* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
