Demoedit code question

[Glass Goblin]

To my dismlay, when I play back my demo of Gorilla Girl's press conference after taking down RulaWade the podium has vanished. I checked the file and found this:

Code Select Expand

0   14  NEW Podium
0   14  NPC basedecor_off_Counter_18
0   14  POS 1639 -1341.78125 -2080
0   14  PYR 0 0 -0
0   14  MOV READY 0


I know that some objects (like glowies) don't appear in playback, but I'm guessing this isn't the same thing. I know that the tech had been used to check for certain character counts or souvenirs and adjust a mission accordingly, but would your actions have an effect on the podium?!

Also, and more important, if this is indeed the problem, is there a regular object I can put in the pseudo-podium's place?

[Codewalker]

I think it's because that object is destructible, so it disappearing below a certain HP is baked into the entity def.

Try adding

Code Select Expand


0 14 HP 100
0 14 HPMAX 100


Just before the MOV READY

That fixed it. Thanks!

Another question. I'd like to remove the Pillars of Ice and Flame from the Ouroboros map. Can this be done?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Yes. They are in there as NPC object class:

Code Select Expand

0   5   NEW "Aspect of the Pillar"
0   5   NPC Ouroboros_Crystal_Console_A
0   5   POS 617 677.5 -803.5
0   5   PYR 0 -1.558524 -0
0   5   MOV READY 0
You need to remove their creation entry and all later references to it.

Keep in mind that this will only affect the ones using NPC code. Any that are part of map gemoetry are there to stay.

I tried replacing the crystal NPCs with puddles, then deleting the outright. No luck with either. But you could always try replacing the Ouro map with the modified version used for Manticore's wedding.

Replace maps/City_Zones/City_06_01/City_06_01.txt with maps/City_Zones/Event_06_01/Event_06_01.txt

Coordinates are the same as for regular Ouro, but there are no pillars out in open area, no Ouro portal, and the doors are closed (inside, it's business as usual).

Hope that helps.
