string “autobuffoncombat” causes spellcasting to buff when attacked hostile spell cast or fail pickpocket.

all of these are strings in the form: AAAA_BBBB_CCCC_DDDD_EEEE_ with the AAAA and so on being spell numbers . can be any number of parts theoretically. like autobuffspawn=“0001_0006_” caises the creature to cast aid and bless on spawn. note that you need that trailing “_”

All these read a variable “bufftime” to get the seconds between buffs. if not set use default of 300. =5 real minutes.

Note: this is somewaht experimental currently

setting a string “runpercept” to a value on creature will cause it to run the script in question on perception.

setting string “runspawn” to a value on creature will cause it to run the script in question on spawn.

setting int “Life” on an unlife creature to a value>0 makes it that many % not unlife. >80 Life is not detected as unlife.

setting int “Unlife” on an life creature to a value>0 makes it that many % unlife. >20 Life is detected as unlife.

Special Combat Tactics *

int “X0_COMBAT_CONDITION” set to one of following: NOTE: ONLY ONE OF THESE SHOULD BE SET ON A SINGLE CREATURE.

1 (X0_COMBAT_FLAG_RANGED = 0x00000001;) Ranged attacker Will attempt to stay at ranged distance from their target.

8 (X0_COMBAT_FLAG_AMBUSHER = 0x00000008;) Will go stealthy/invisible and attack, then run away and try to go stealthy again before attacking anew.

the following are somewhat buggy in 1.61 int “X2_L_BEH_COMPASSION” The higher value of this variable, the higher the chance that the creature will aid friendly creatures in combat. Not that helping usually degrades the overall difficulty of an encounter, but makes it more interesting.

int “X2_L_BEH_OFFENSE” The higher value of this variable, the higher the chance that the creature will use offensive abilities in combat. Set to 0 to make them flee.

int “X2_L_BEH_MAGIC” The value of this variable (int) is added to the chance that a creature will use magic in combat. Set to 100 for always, 0 for never

Animation Conditions int “NW_ANIM_CONDITION” set to the sum of below: These are extra conditions you can put on creatures with ambient animations.

1 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_INITIALIZED = 0x00000001;) If set, the NPC has been initialized, use this with other flags to disable defaults

2 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_CONSTANT = 0x00000002;) If this flag is set, this creature will constantly be acting. Otherwise, creatures will only start performing their ambient animations when they first perceive a player, and they will stop when the player moves away.

4 (int NW_ANIM_FLAG_CHATTER = 0x00000004;) Civilized creatures with this flag set will randomly use a few voicechats. It's a good idea to avoid putting this on multiple creatures using the same voiceset. and avoid in areas where you wish people to speak

8 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_IS_ACTIVE = 0x00000008;) If set, the NPC has been triggered and should be animating (used mostly internally)

16 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_IS_INTERACTING = 0x00000010;) If set, the NPC is currently interacting with a placeable (used mostly internally)

32 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_IS_INSIDE = 0x00000020;) if set, the NPC has gone inside an interior area. (used mostly internally)

64 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_HAS_HOME = 0x00000040;) If set, the NPC has a home waypoint (used mostly internally)

128 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_IS_TALKING = 0x00000080;) If set, the NPC is currently talking (used mostly internally)

256 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_IS_MOBILE = 0x00000100;) If set, the NPC is mobile (used mostly internally)

512 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_IS_MOBILE_CLOSE_RANGE = 0x00000200;) Creatures with _immobile_ ambient animations can have this flag set to make them mobile in a close range. They will never leave their immediate area, but will move around in it, frequently returning to their starting point.

Note that creatures spawned inside interior areas that contain a waypoint with one of the tags “NW_HOME”, “NW_TAVERN”, “NW_SHOP” will automatically have this condition set.

1024 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_IS_CIVILIZED = 0x00000400;) Civilized creatures interact with placeables in their area that have the tag “NW_INTERACTIVE” and “talk” to each other. Humanoid races are civilized by default, so only set this flag for monster races that you want to behave the same way.

4096 (NW_ANIM_FLAG_CLOSE_DOORS = 0x00001000;) If set, the NPC will close doors
