Try posting them all on this thread so others have an easy frame of reference.

You can't place doors just anywhere - you need to place them in a spot where they can go eg a doorway or area transition of some sort. This can be quite confusing initially, but the best way to experiment is to create a new test mod, create an area using the city interior tileset, and start laying some terrain down. One of your terrain options will be "Doorway" - you can lay that on your existing floor/wall terrain to create a doorway (if it's in a logical place). Then you can attach a door to it and it will snap into place.

If you use a Feature or a Group (eg an Inn Room or a Kitchen or an Livingroom) this will usually already come with a doorway somewhere - the only downside with using groups or features is that you can't insert a doorway into it - where they painted the doorway in the model is where the door is going to go.

Hope this helps. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You're full of questions, mate - I'm not going to be able to answer every single one. :D

I'm not sure about any Win32 error - but that sounds like maybe you need to patch to the latest patch.

With the NPCs sitting down, you need to do 2 things:

1. Make a chair useable (click on its properties)
2. Put this in its OnUsed script:

//This script will allow a PC to sit in a chair

Quote:

void main()
{
object oChair = OBJECT_SELF;
if(!GetIsObjectValid(GetSittingCreature(oChair)))
{
AssignCommand(GetLastUsedBy(), ActionSit(oChair));
}
}
For an NPC you just need to use a variation of that. Check out the Bioware NWN Scripting forum for more details, the scripts don't turn out *quite* right with our forum software here.

Good luck, and remember - try not to do everything at once or you will just get frustrated. Start doing little things, and then move on to the big things after that. And the best way to learn is to open up the Official Campaign in the toolset and check to see how the Bio guys did it.

Hey, the win32 api error is a bug that bioware unofficially acknowledged on the forums just a few weeks ago. I get it while editing scripts within conversations, about 40% of the time. As far as I know there is yet to be a work a round or fix . Call tech support! They need your system info in order to officially acknowledge the bug as well as fix it!

FelixJaeger 08-24-2002 03:41 PM

Argh still not fixed im getting it 100% of the time... i wonder if i loaded up my other mod and tried that might it make a difference? hmmn memnoch you do a lot of this stuff dont u get API errors? or do you have a good version/fixpack?oh well time to check their homepage...

I heard that patch 1.23 is coming out next week - hopefully they've fixed that API bug. I don't get it myself (thank God). I occasionally get access errors when importing HakPaks, but that's about it - from 1.20 onwards I haven't had any crashes. Before that I was crashing every couple of days.

Here is a link from the biowares forums where one of the toolset programmers commented on the win32api bug.
