Seems that I have read about this here before, but I cannot find it now, so... Is there a way to search the forums?

Druid Trackless step and Nature Sense don't appear to work in the lake area (in at least 2 areas). Are these areas not considered wilderness?

That'll answer your question. :wink:

Curses!

Thanks for the info.

I'm a first-time scripter, but how about using this area event info:

http://nwn.bioware.com/builders/sctutorial16.html

to trigger this on a target PC each time one enters the area:

void main() { if (GetHasFeat(FEAT_TRACKLESS_STEP)) { eHideBonus = EffectSkillIncrease(SKILL_HIDE,2); eMoveSilentlyBonus = EffectSkillIncrease(SKILL_MOVE_SILENTLY,2); ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eHideBonus, oTarget); ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eMovSilentlyBonus, oTarget);

if (GetHasFeat(FEAT_NATURE_SENSE)) { eAttackBonus = EffectAttackIncrease(2, ATTACK_BONUS_MISC); ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eAttackBonus, oTarget); }

The effect should be cancelled when the area is left - again using http://nwn.bioware.com/builders/sctutorial16.html.

I'm sure I left something out or typed something that doesn't make sense above. Does this seem doable?

It would need a little bit of work (to group the effects together so they're properly removed and nothing else is removed) and there might be other slight complications for general use, but aside from that it should work.

That would be beautiful. :)

I suppose the effects would pop-up near the character portraits as other effects do? That would be a handy reference in itself...

How about adding this to the OnEnter Script for each "Wilderness" area:

object oEntering = GetEnteringObject();

if (GetHasFeat(FEAT_TRACKLESS_STEP, oEntering)) { effect eHideBonus = EffectSkillIncrease(SKILL_HIDE,2); effect eMoveSilentlyBonus = EffectSkillIncrease(SKILL_MOVE_SILENTLY,2); //Prevents dispel magic, rest, etc... from removing effect eHideBonus = SupernaturalEffect(eHideBonus); eMoveSilentlyBonus = SupernaturalEffect(eMoveSilentlyBonus); ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eHideBonus, oEntering); ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eMoveSilentlyBonus, oEntering); }

if (GetHasFeat(FEAT_NATURE_SENSE, oEntering)) { effect eAttackBonus = EffectAttackIncrease(2, ATTACK_BONUS_MISC); //Prevents dispel magic, rest, etc... from removing effect eAttackBonus = SupernaturalEffect(eAttackBonus); ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eAttackBonus, oEntering); }

And adding this to the OnExit Script for each "Wilderness" area:

object oExiting = GetExitingObject(); effect eEffect = GetFirstEffect(oExiting);

while (GetIsEffectValid(eEffect)) { if ((GetEffectCreator(eEffect) == GetArea(OBJECT_SELF)) && GetEffectSubType(eEffect) == SUBTYPE_SUPERNATURAL) RemoveEffect(oExiting, eEffect); eEffect=GetNextEffect(oExiting); }

This seems to work well in preliminary tests I've done. At least for attack bonuses - they stack with other attack bonuses, and leaving the area removes only the bonus that the area itself applied to the PC - leaving other bonuses (if any) intact.

Expect this (well, a similar system) in as of v736.
