[WIP] A Little Project(That's too big for me!)

This is basically an idea I got while going through NWN's include files in the Lexicon. I think that it is possible to re-create some of the scripts in the Lexicon for use in the Kotor games. I already had/have two from the one of the destruction includes from the Lexicon. The first one counts the number of objects with sTag:

int GetNumObjectsWithTag(string sTag)
{
int Nth = 0;
      int Number = 0;
      object oItem = GetObjectByTag(sTag, Nth);
      while(GetIsObjectValid(oItem))
      {
            Number++;
            Nth++;
            oItem = GetObjectByTag(sTag, Nth);
      }
      return Number;
}

This should work. I carried it in my head for the past 5 days, so it might not be accurate. A way of testing it is by spawning four of something, say a boma( put "c_boma01" without the quotes in place of string sTag), and then make and fire a script with this code in it:

Show spoiler

#include "<whatever you named the file with the above function>"

void main()
{
      string message = "There are " + IntToString(GetNumObjectsWithTag("c_boma01")) + "bomas around.";
      SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), message);
}

If it doesn't report right, try changing "int Nth = 0;" to "int Nth = 1;". The second code I will post when I have access to a computer I can mod on to see that it works before posting it. The gist of it is:

Show spoiler

void DestroyObjectsWihTag(string sTag)
{
int Nth = 0;
      int Max = GetNumObjectsWithTag(sTag);

      int current;
      for(current; current <= Max; current++)
      {
            oItem = GetObjectByTag(sTag, Nth);
            DestroyObject(oItem);
            Nth++;
      }
}

Hopefully, you see the idea that I'm trying to get across. If you manage to find and "adapt" a script in working condition, please feel free to PM it to me, along with whatever name you want in the credits section, seeing as I intend to release this as a scripting resource.

I have a bunch of scripts tucked away in a .nss; some I can test, but others(like those that deal with vector and location) I can't because I don't have much experience with them.

Thank you for reading this, and until next time, see ya! Download progress
