Description

Sunjammer's Armor Library

This library offers a number of simple functions to expose more armor and shield properties to scripting including the much sought after Base AC (Armor Class) and ACP (Armor Check Penalty).

This library was developed over the last two years on an ad hoc basis in response to various requests posted in the NWN Scripting forum. Since the functions still seem to be much in demand in one form or another I decided to give the library a thorough overhaul. My aim was to slightly expand the functionality; to provide more consistency between functions; and to take advantage of more vigorous naming conventions. However to ensure it is backwards compatible with earlier versions all existing functionality has been retained as deprecated functions.

If you have any constructive comments or suggestions for new functions please let me know here, via the BioBoards or via my own website.

Getting Started

Simply download the ZIP file, extract the ERF and import it into your module. Use the #include directive to incorporate the Armor Library (sj_armor_i) into any script you wish to use the constants and functions in and you're good to go.

All the functions are fully prototyped so once you have saved a script which includes them they will appear in the F2 Auto-complete menu, the Function palette and (when you click on one) in the Help tab.

I have tweaked my website a bit and you can now find any new armor related functions in the the Neverwinter Nights section under Libraries > Armor > Snippets. These will be appearing in v2.01 in due course.

I'm glad you guys are find functions to your liking and thanks for the comments, the votes and even more so for the suggestions.

With regard to the suggestions I think the best approach might be for me to post any new or expanded functions on my website until they warrant a new release. I'm in the middle of polishing my Footprint System so I'll finish that and then tweak my website a little to accommodate the new stuff. Hopefully I can get that all be done over the weekend but I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime keep the suggestions coming.

Most excellent and am incorporating these functions into the MBHKit to accomplish my needs there. Needless to say, I will give all appropriate credit to your authorship. Thanks!

Presto, here's a simple use to get the base ac of what a player is wearing.

#include "sj_armor_i"
void main()
{
object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
object oChest = GetItemInSlot(INVENTORY_SLOT_CHEST, oPC);
int nBaseAC = SJ_Armor_GetItemACBase(oChest);
int nAC = GetItemACValue(oChest);
SpeakString("The base AC of what I'm wearing is "+IntToString(nBaseAC));
SpeakString("The AC bonus of the armour I'm wearing is "+IntToString(nAC - nBaseAC));
}

Since the functions are prototyped and commented I have already provided that information and I can't see any real benefit in duplicating it. However what I can do is put together some "real world" examples of how you might use the functions.

Hello!
Could you make a simple txt with a tutorial?
For exemple:
funcion XYZ = Do this, and that.
funcion KWY = Just add propertie Z on the shields.
