Two Questions

[Soul Eraser]

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I already registered.
I have a couple of questions about mapmaking:

1) How can I change the primary job of a creature?
the command of the type:
"SET_CREATURE_PRIMARY_JOB(ORC,16)" doesn't seem to work.

2) I have a problem (in both Unded which I used in the past and Adikted which I use now) in creating hero parties.
While most of the parties that I set to be created, appear in the level, some of the them just don't. Does anyone know why this happens?
This can happen in many cases, but mostly when I set the party to appear when an action point is triggered.
For example:

CREATE_PARTY(EIGTEEN)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,3,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,4,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,4,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,3,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,3,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,3,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)


IF_ACTION_POINT(17,PLAYER0)
ADD_PARTY_TO_LEVEL(PLAYER_GOOD,EIGTEEN,18,1)
ENDIF

I have to note that I didn't use more than 48 of such commands.

Thanx in advance.

Do you mean you want to change the creature only in that level you are working or in general? The latter can be done in creature editors.

2) I have a problem (in both Unded which I used in the past and Adikted which I use now) in creating hero parties.

Did you updated and verrified the script when using Adikted? This can be done using first CTRL + T and then use U and V. Adikted will inform you of any errors in the script.

Ps: Welcome, hope to see new maps around here!

How big is action point 17?

How big is action point 17?

You mean if the area containing this Action Point is wide enough for the hero party? It is, other parties could emerge from there.

It is as if the computer decides which parties will appear and which not.

There was another case where I used this:
IF(PLAYER0,TOTAL_CREATURES == 25)
ADD_PARTY_TO_LEVEL(PLAYER_GOOD,NINE,9,1)
ADD_PARTY_TO_LEVEL(PLAYER_GOOD,TEN,10,1)
ADD_PARTY_TO_LEVEL(PLAYER_GOOD,NINTEEN,19,1)

ENDIF

and no party appeared (I have to test it once more though) while other parties did come this way.


Duke Ragereaver, I want to change the primary job of the creature only in specific levels, along with other characteristics of them (like annoyment, base speed etc)

1) How can I change the primary job of a creature?
the command of the type:
"SET_CREATURE_PRIMARY_JOB(ORC,16)" doesn't seem to work.

SET_CREATURE_PRIMARY_JOB isn't a command that exists (unless perhaps in KeeperFX). You must change the value in creature.txt/dd1creat.txt and distribute the files along with your level.

2) I have a problem (in both Unded which I used in the past and Adikted which I use now) in creating hero parties.
While most of the parties that I set to be created, appear in the level, some of the them just don't. Does anyone know why this happens?
This can happen in many cases, but mostly when I set the party to appear when an action point is triggered.
For example:

CREATE_PARTY(EIGTEEN)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,3,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,4,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,4,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,3,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,3,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)
ADD_TO_PARTY(EIGTEEN,BARBARIAN,3,100,ATTACK_ENEMIE S,0)


IF_ACTION_POINT(17,PLAYER0)
ADD_PARTY_TO_LEVEL(PLAYER_GOOD,EIGTEEN,18,1)
ENDIF

First, avoid Unded as your map is much likely to have some bugs and crash the game.

Second, there's a space in "ATTACK_ENEMIES" between the E and the S on each line. Try to fix that. Then, check about the size of the triggering action point (number 17) if it is big enough to be sure that a creature enters and stays for enough of time in the action point area. It may happens that the game doesn't trigger an action point "straight", it requires for the creature to stay a little period in the area.

There was another case where I used this:
IF(PLAYER0,TOTAL_CREATURES == 25)
ADD_PARTY_TO_LEVEL(PLAYER_GOOD,NINE,9,1)
ADD_PARTY_TO_LEVEL(PLAYER_GOOD,TEN,10,1)
ADD_PARTY_TO_LEVEL(PLAYER_GOOD,NINTEEN,19,1)

ENDIF

and no party appeared (I have to test it once more though) while other parties did come this way.

Use >= instead of == preferably.

Also, I hope that you don't have 19 parties as only a maximum of 16 parties is allowed in a level.

My god, I feel like an idiot... how could I have not noticed it sooner!

The Party isn't being reconized because you put "ATTACK_ENEMIE" and forgot the S at the end.
