How to get mercenaries in the FOnline SDK?

[Ulrek]

Hey...

Well, i've looked over the files, and i've found settings, but i cant quite figure out how to create mercenaries/followers. can anyone point me in the right direction?

Pretty sure this is a 2238 only thing, ya know, they made and scripted themselves.  Unless you mean like, Followers from fo2?

I don't think that's part of the FOnline Engine SDK either.

This is from the "_defines" file. so there does seem to be settings made for it. at least for a prototype.

Anyone have any ideas?

This are only param numbers; check most obvious - merc.fos and q_npc_v13_dclaw.fos as an example of use. Eventually look for "Merc2Player" in other *.fos files.

Alright, thanks.

I write simple function for you. If you call it from dialog, you will get merc. I dond check any demand, so you can use it for build some more complex function. If you build more code, share with others.

Code: [Select]

#include "_defines.fos"
#include "_npc_pids.fos"

import bool GetFreeHex(Map& map, uint radius, uint16& hx, uint16& hy) from "caravan";
import void r_AddMerc2Player(Critter & player, Critter @ npc) from "merc";

// Dialog result
void r_AddMercenary(Critter& player, Critter@ npc)
{
Map @mapa = player.GetMap();
if(@mapa!=null)
{
uint16 hX = player.HexX;
uint16 hY = player.HexY;
GetFreeHex(mapa, 1, hX, hY);
Critter@ merc = mapa.AddNpc(NPC_PID_BountyHunter_10,  hX, hY, player.Dir,null,null,null);
r_AddMerc2Player(player, merc);
merc.Say(SAY_NORM_ON_HEAD, "I will save your ass Ulrek boy");
}
}

Alright, if i manage to create something more complex i'd be happy to share.

And once again thank you.

No problem. If someone else woudl use this code, I write instruction "just in case":
- make new script, and paste code from post; (file: your_script_file_name.fos)
- add script to scripts.cfg

@ server module your_script_file_name      

- add to dialog, result function(via dialog editor):

Code: [Select]

your_script_file_name@r_AddMercenary

What mercenaries do I get? How it work? Can I make example in NCR mercenaries Rangers and in Navarro Enclave guys? What about prices?

[Janusz2238]

You must implement prices by yourself.
Choose NPC in NCR, and edit his dialog file(Server/Dialogs). To edit dialog you use(/Server/Tools/DialogEditor).
You must add result script, I show it in last post.

[BlindMaster]

How to chose an answer?
or dialog node?

[Surf]

A good start would be to open the dialogeditor.

Heya, i was just wondering.. i need a way to set the AI to the merc. I can spawm him and he follows me only in local map.
Ive found that merc.fos is the main script for him and it includes merc dialog and all.
So there must be a way to link "merc.fos" or the AI to him.
At least a way to include it as a new AI package

Thanks

Hello!
Here is the scrip edit for proper mercs!
These guys attck and defend.

Code: [Select]

#include "_defines.fos"
#include "_npc_pids.fos"


import bool GetFreeHex(Map& map, uint radius, uint16& hx, uint16& hy) from "caravan";
import void r_AddMerc2Player(Critter & player, Critter @ npc) from "merc";

// Dialog result
void r_AddMercenary(Critter& player, Critter@ npc)
{
Map @mapa = player.GetMap();
if(@mapa!=null)
{
uint16 hX = player.HexX;
uint16 hY = player.HexY;
GetFreeHex(mapa, 1, hX, hY);
Critter@ merc = mapa.AddNpc(NPC_PID_MercenaryMale,  hX, hY, player.Dir,null,null,null); // NPC_PID IS NPC FROM _npc_pids.fos /server/scripts
r_AddMerc2Player(player, merc);
merc.Say(SAY_NORM_ON_HEAD, "Yessir");
merc.StatBase[ ST_AI_ID ] = 55; // AI OF NPC FROM _ai.fos /server/scripts ( set to vic defensive )
merc.StatBase[ ST_TEAM_ID ] = 0; // TEAM FROM _teams.fos ... set to plyer?
merc.StatBase[ ST_DIALOG_ID  ] = 30000; // DIALOG
merc.MercBase[ MERC_DEFEND_MASTER ] = 1;
merc.MercBase[ MERC_ALWAYS_RUN ] = 1;
merc.MercBase[ MERC_ASSIST_MASTER ] = 1;
merc.MercBase[ MERC_CANCEL_ON_ATTACK ] = 1;
merc.SetScript( "merc@_MercInit" );

}
}
