[RESOLVED] Request to create plugin

[Glorfdev]

I look for somebody who can create plugin that will show if player is detected by some NPC. I cannot use CS because I'm currently only on linux machine and I've discovered that I cannot create plugins there.

The plugin could be based on code from Morrowind Scripting for Dummies (the best piece code that I've found). I've pasted it below:

Code: Select all

Begin PCLookAtMe
float fPCX
float fPCY
float fPCAngle
float fdx
float fdy
float fRatio
short sPCLookAtMe
set sPCLookAtMe to 1
;you could probably also add a GetLOS check in here
; however i could never get GetLOS to work properly...although i didn't try very hard
;is PC really far away
if ( GetDistance, Player > 8000 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
else
;yay trigonometry
;this basically does a rough calculation of the PCs direction relative
;to the Actor, it only uses 45 degree chunks, though
set fPCX to ( player->GetPos, X )
set fPCY to ( player->GetPos, Y )
set fPCAngle to ( player->GetAngle, Z )
set fdx to GetPos, X
set fdy to GetPos, Y
set fdx to ( fdx - fPCX )
set fdy to ( fdy - fPCY )
set fRatio to ( fdx / fdy )
if ( fdx > 0 )
if ( fdy > 0 )
if ( fRatio > 1 )
if ( fPCAngle < -45 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
else
if ( fPCAngle < -90 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
if ( fPCAngle > 135 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
endif
else
if ( fRatio < -1 )
if ( fPCAngle < 0 )
if ( fPCAngle > -135 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
endif
else
if ( fPCAngle < 45 )
if ( fPCAngle > -90 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
endif
endif
endif
else 
if ( fdy > 0 )
if ( fRatio < -1 )
if ( fPCAngle > 45 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
else
if ( fPCAngle > 90 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
if ( fPCAngle < -135 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
endif
else
if ( fRatio > 1 )
if ( fPCAngle > 0 )
if ( fPCAngle < 135 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
endif
else
if ( fPCAngle > -35 )
if ( fPCAngle < 90 )
set sPCLookAtMe to 0
endif
endif
endif
endif
endif
endif
if ( sPCLookAtMe == 0 )
;do something while the PC is not looking
endif
End 

When this concrete NPC is looking, something should change, because I must recognize this situation... Just use your imagination, move some objects, show message or something like that.

Thanks in advance!

Check this.

No way. It breaks when launching on linux.

CS in wine can't save new files, but it can open existing files and save them.

You're right! Thanks scrawl

For that kind of thing, I use MWEdit to create the plugin, and open it in the CS to save it again (it remove some error messages when I load the plugin in vanilla). MWEdit works well with Wine and load files more rapidly than vanilla CS, but it does not have a 3d view.
