Creatures

Scripts

All the creatures should use the following scripts:

(Hint there is an export and import scripts option in the properties window so you need to set them once and then export and can import for other creatures)

See ambient animations page for how to add ambient animations and walking of waypoints on the creature.

See avatar page for more information how the avatar system works and what variables it sets to avatar creatures.

scripts

Script Slot	Script	Variable
On Physically Attacked	cn_g_onattacked	IgnoreOnAttacked
On Damaged	cn_g_ondamaged	IgnoreOnDamaged
On Death	cn_g_onkilled	IgnoreOnKilled
On Conversation	cn_g_onconversation	IgnoreOnConversation
On Inventory Disturbed	cn_g_ondisturbed	IgnoreOnDisturbed
On End combat round	cn_g_oncombatroundend	IgnoreOnCombatroudnended
On Heart Beat	cn_g_onheartbeat	IgnoreOnHeartbeat
On Blocked	cn_g_onblocked	IgnoreOnBlocked
On Perception	cn_g_onperception	IgnoreOnPerception
On Rested	cn_g_onrested	IgnoreOnRested
On Spawn In	cn_g_onspawn	-
On Spell Cast at	cn_g_onspellcastat	IgnoreOnSpellCastAt
On User Defined Event	cn_g_onuserdefined	IgnoreOnUserDefined

Those Ignore* variables will disable the normal behavior of the script. The stopcombat is still checked by some scripts, but all other operations are skipped. There is no variable for the on spawn, as these are meant to be used to temporarely disable the operations i.e. set by script and cleared by script. Note, that if you disable for example OnKilled then the kill log is not updated and quests using KillQuest etc are not working, so you should not do that…

Useful things are IgnoreOnConversation (creature will not respond to talking request), IgnoreOnDisturbed (creature will not detect pickpockiting etc ever), IgnoreOnPerception (creature will not detect others and will not attack or anyways react to PCs).
