Heh

I successfully created a kobold character. Though after I started playing it I noticed that I lost one point of strength (which I expected) and five points of constitution (which I did not expect). Do you think that a five point con penalty is a bit steep?

Possible solution

This would require a lot of coding to work: In the onDamaged event of ALL your monsters, you add code to check to see what hit them. You do that by... - Call GetLastDamager() to find out who hit them. - Call GetItemInSlot() to see if the attacker was using a missile weapon - Use whatever logic to de...

Really crappy solution...

You can put "pins" all over the map with no text. Make sure that the pins cover the whole map and then the player can't see anything. Though the map you do that to will always be unusable.

Hey I warned you in the title that this was a crappy solution.

Floating text string thoughts

Does the function: FloatingTextStringOnCreature(string, object, int) hide the PCs name? If it does, you could set an in on a PC that says to keep this text up and launch an action that puts whatever text you want up there then call itself before the text fades (if the int is still "true"). A bit pro...

Breaking doors

Actually, I looked into this awhile back. Sadly, damaged and destroyed doors can not be reparied. The work-around I came up with was to create custom doors with hundreds of hit points and to modify thier onDamaged event so that the door keeps track of how many points of damage they've taken. When it...

OK

That's fine, but could someone please purge the characters I've created? As soon as I get word that that's done, I'll start a new character. I'm looking forward to playing here.

Hmmm

Let me modify my previous post with the following. Shortly after my post the LeOrTNanshi server rebooted, then I was able to get the golem to present the Kobold option to a gnome (not a halfling) though after logging back in my character is not changed (yes I did wait the required 10 seconds). In an...

Hrm....

This is my first time on the boards and my first time on any Avlis server. I wanted to make a kobold pc, so I followed the instructions and created a halfling, selected a portrait (nothing in the list for kobolds, so I picked a shadowy pic). Then I talked to the newbie instructor NPC and at the end ...
