SetAreaRestFlag

[wolpak]

I was messing around with this to see how it worked. I simply added this into baldur.bcs...

 

IF

Global("REST","GLOBAL",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

DisplayStringHead(Player1,111)

SetAreaRestFlag(0)

SetGlobal("REST","GLOBAL",1)

END

The string is to make sure the script ran. It did, and I could still rest. I figured maybe I had the wrong toggle, so I put in (1) for SetAreaRestFlag and I could rest. Am I missing something?

this sets the areatype flags, so ... The complex rest flags are in pst, but in a different location.

I am not sure how that affects SetAreaRestFlag...I assume it is updating that value.

Would the following work then? I presume it would make it impossible to rest in this location always...but it still doesn't work.

IF

Global("REST","GLOBAL",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

DisplayStringHead(Player1,111)

SetAreaRestFlag(4)

SetGlobal("REST","GLOBAL",1)

END

well no, you're just setting it to a forest type. For non-pst, I think you have two choices, either set the type to indoor (no bits set, I guess? But that didn't work for you initially, so check what value indoor areas have - in which you can't rest) or to make sure areaflag bit 0 is not set (but I don't know if you can modify it; there is a http://gemrb.org/iesdp/files/ids/bg2/areaflag.htm).

If you need to prevent resting in outdoors, you can append the top of PLAYER1D.BCS (Player1's dream script) with something like:

IF
Global("cant_rest","myarea",1)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
DisplayStringNoName(Player1,~You may not rest in this place.~)
END

and SetGlobal("cant_rest","myarea",1) as needed.

As long as the variable remains 1, this block will trigger and break the rest attempt.
