What is a corpse ? #630437 13/10/17 05:42 AM

OP Cromcrom addict Joined: Jun 2013	I would like to destroy the corpses of slain creatures after a while. But what is a corpse ? A new character ? A character with a status ? A container ? A ULO (Unknown Laying Object) ? I tried to start a script timer onDie event of a character, so that after a while, that character dies, but it doesn't seem to work (while this works for living characters) Any help appreciated, cheers, modders Un chemin de 1000 lieues commence par un premier pas.

The behaviour scripts of dead characters stop executing, which is why your approach did not work. If you want to do something with dead characters, you will have to do it from Osiris or possibly from a game script (throw an event in that OnDie handler that you catch in a gamescript, and implement your logic there).

OP Cromcrom addict Joined: Jun 2013	Yes, both in script (OnDie) and osiris (characterdied) However, I don't get it? A corpse is still a character, although it is registered as dead. Why won't character specific scripts, like character destroy, work ? Moreover, I see no API in Osiris to destroy a character, like there is in a script.

OP Cromcrom addict Joined: Jun 2013	Ok, fuck. I just spent the whole fucking afternoon, probably 4 or 5 hours, trying to remove a fucking corpse, either after looting it, or some times after death. Fuck all this fucking shit. fuck this osiris and scripting and whatever piece of fucking shit. Cheers. Un chemin de 1000 lieues commence par un premier pas. Project: Steam workshop Frontiere

Solved. Alleluiah !
So, this is the osiris part:

Code

IF
CharacterLootedCharacterCorpse(_Player,_Corpse)
AND
CharacterIsPlayer(_Player,1)
THEN
DB_CharacterCorpseToRemove(_Corpse);
UserSetFlag(_Corpse,"corpse_loot_interaction");
ProcObjectTimer((CHARACTERGUID)_Corpse,"delayUntildestroyCorpse",60000);


PROC
ProcObjectTimerFinished((CHARACTERGUID)_Corpse,"delayUntildestroyCorpse")
AND
DB_CharacterCorpseToRemove(_Corpse)
THEN
UserSetFlag((CHARACTERGUID)_Corpse,"remove_corpse");
NOT DB_CharacterCorpseToRemove(_Corpse);

And this is the script part, attached to the character:

Code

INIT
	CHARACTER:__Me
	
EVENTS
EVENT OnDeathStartTimer
ON
	OnCharacterFlagSet("remove_corpse",__Me)
ACTIONS	
	CharacterDestroy(__Me)

Cheers.
