Trapped at Shangalar's Fix

[CamDawg]

If the player killed Shangalar too quickly, he would not set a variable and his cronies would not appear, leaving the player trapped. BD solves this by extending the area script with this:

 

IF
 Dead("HLSHANG") // Shangalar
 !Exists("HLVAXAL")
 !Dead("HLVAXAL") // Vaxall
THEN
 RESPONSE #100
   SetGlobal("ShangalarMove","AR1008",2)
   CreateVisualEffect("SPROTECT",[825.664])
   CreateVisualEffect("SPROTECT",[1123.640])
   CreateVisualEffect("SPROTECT",[1038.452])
   CreateVisualEffect("SPROTECT",[784.558])
   Wait(1)
   CreateVisualEffect("SPDISPMA",[825.664])
   CreateVisualEffect("SPDISPMA",[1123.640])
   CreateVisualEffect("SPDISPMA",[1038.452])
   CreateVisualEffect("SPDISPMA",[784.558])
   SmallWait(7)
   CreateCreature("HLREVAN",[825.664],10) // Revanek
   CreateCreature("HLSHYR",[1123.640],6) // Shyressa
   CreateCreature("HLLAYEN",[1038.452],10) // Layene
   CreateCreature("HLVAXAL",[784.558],12) // Vaxall
END

Will that not trigger if you imprison or maze Vaxall?

[CamDawg]

I don't think so, as I don't think imprisonment or maze affects the Exists trigger. To be on the safe side, though, I've added a GlobalLT("ShangalarMove","AR1008",2) trigger.At any rate, if the player imprisons Vaxall they have other issues.

 

Included in alpha 3.

Testing reveals that Exists returns false for imprisoned creatures, incidentally, so the global check is necessary.
