ActionCreate(string, location)

Used to encapsulate CreateObject allowing this function to be added to the action stack.

void ActionCreate(
    string sCreature,
    location lLoc
);

Parameters

sCreature

The resref of the creature to create

lLoc

a location object identifying the location to create the creature

Description

This function essentially wraps the CreateObject function in a void method so that it can be placed on the action que. It is used in the OnHeartbeat of the placable object "Skeleton Bones" found in the Battlefield pallate.

Remarks

"nw_o2_skeleton.nss" might be a good place to start if you wanted objects to turn into creatures when the player approached.

"nw_o2_skeleton" cannot be included in a script that has a "void main()" function definition. This is because "nw_o2_skeleton" defines a "void main()" function. If you want to use this function, make a copy from "nw_o2_skeleton" into your own script.

Requirements

#include "nw_o2_skeleton"

Version

1.28

Example

string sCreature = "NW_SKELWARR01";
location lLoc = GetLocation(OBJECT_SELF);
DelayCommand(0.3, ActionCreate(sCreature, lLoc));
/* ***
** The DelayCommand message above could be replaced with
** ActionDoCommand(ActionCreate(sCreature, lLoc));
*** */
