What do I add to make this make an item useable?

[robertthebard]

void main()
{

object oPC = GetEnteringObject();

if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

int DoOnce = GetLocalInt(oPC, GetTag(OBJECT_SELF));

if (DoOnce==TRUE) return;

SetLocalInt(oPC, GetTag(OBJECT_SELF), TRUE);

object oTarget;
object oSpawn;
location lTarget;
oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("DG_HermePoint_01");

lTarget = GetLocation(oTarget);

oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "dg_hermes_01", lTarget);

}

This spawns the creature once for the pc, but if multiple pc's go in, I get multiple creatures, which is ok, as he's not hostile, but I am using a Frost giant for the creature, and it's a small room, plus I'd like the dialog that this creature has to make an item useable, once per pc who talks to him. I just have one question: How??????

Right now you're storing the check variable on the PC. This is why it spawns for every PC. I'd make a new variable and don't store it on a PC but for example on the area.

For the second question with making the item usable I would store the variable on the PC and check against that.

int StartingConditional() { if (GetLocalInt(GetPCSpeaker(), "(int name)") != int_for_done) return TRUE; return FALSE; }

Put something alike this on the Appears When tab in the conversation.

OK, I tried to use the script but do I need to use the item's res ref, or do I use the tag? It wouldn't compile.

The tag seems OK. I think you only need the resref when you're getting something out of the blueprints.

What error are you getting and where? Could you post that code?
