Roderick resurrected immediately after being killed, but neither of the two spiders summoned were resurrected even after their timer ran out.

I tested whether them dying mid-summon changed anything, and they still remained dead. For whatever reason, summons cannot be resurrected. Is there any proof to the contrary?


My bad, it seems that summons are exempt from char triggers.
They are characters though, as they are stored under the Characters node in savegames like any other character.

Mostly by reverse engineering the .GR2 format (as much as i can anyway).
A teaser: :P

I do not know what a scriptframe is for CharacterSetScriptframe(CHARACTER _Character,STRING _Scriptframe), someone can shed some light on this?


CharacterSetScriptframe selects the active script frame from the behavior script.
Like:
CharacterSetScriptframe(CHARACTER_CYS_Evelyn,"DeliverStoneToPatient");

... will trigger this:
Code
SCRIPTFRAME DeliverStoneToPatient
ACTIONS
	IF "c1"
		IsEqual(%targetPatient,CHARACTER:CYS_ThelyronPatientSteven_e0da7c51-0ec0-491d-8d9a-85ff09511989)
	THEN
		CharacterMoveTo(%bed_04,0)
	ELSE
		CharacterMoveTo(%bed_03,0)
	ENDIF


The bad news is that each character has a separate behavior script, so you'd have to rewire all of them separately.
The good news is that most of them #includes State_Manager.charScript, so modifying that may be a good starting point.
The really bad news is that (AFAIK) the state manager of dead characters is disabled, so switching to a "respawn me" behavior won't work for them frown


As an alternative maybe we could create a dummy "spawner" NPC, pass the to-be-resurrected NPC with CharacterSetVarCharacter, then set a behavior flag so that the behavior script is triggered, the script reads the characters position and respawns it like this:
Code
CharacterGetTemplate(_Char, _Template);
GetPosition(_Char, _Pos);
SpawnCharacter(_Spawned, _Template, _Pos, 0);
CharacterDestroy(_Char);
