Global Not Setting, And one other thing... Options

[Sir_Carnifex]

I'm having a problem with a global variable not setting properly. This dialogue works fine, but I can't get the next in the series to occur unless I manually set it. Yet, you'd think that if it weren't being changed, that the initial dialogue would repeat over and over, but it doesn't.

Here's the code:

CODE

APPEND BKORGAN
IF ~InParty("CXHalbo")
See("CXHalbo")
!Dead("CXHalbo")
!StateCheck("CXHalbo",STATE_SLEEPING)
Global("KorganHalbo1","GLOBAL",0)~ THEN BEGIN KorganHalboTalkDwarf1
SAY ~Blah Blah.~
=
~Blah Blah.~
IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("KorganHalbo1","GLOBAL",1)~ EXTERN BCXHALBO KorganHalboTalkDwarf1.1
END
END

The second question is:

How do I go about setting a character's state to intoxicated? I couldn't find any specific state for that. The only thing I could find was the wish spell.

Alright, I may be wrong, but it looks like that script only checks to see if the player is intoxicated. If it checks out, then it initiates the dialogue. I'm trying to do something a little different. Namely, have a character who is NOT drunk get set to intoxicated AFTER a dialogue. I don't see any SetStat action, so I assume that I have to do something with all that gibberish Tervadh mentioned.

Eh, sorry for the late response... e-mail notifications only work half the time it seems.

What Sikret said is accurate. There is in fact already a spell to apply drunkenness in the game (spwish33) though as a wish spell I think this makes everyone drunk, so you may want your own version . The script could be as simple as:

CODE

IF
  Global("mydrunk","GLOBAL",0)
  CheckStatLT(LastTalkedToBy(),50,INTOXICATION)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    SetGlobal("mydrunk","GLOBAL",1)
    ApplySpellRES("SPWISH33",LastTalkedToBy())
END

I'm sure someone's come up with something more sophisticated by now.

You can use the same opcode on an item, to make (for example) a bottle of wine that increases drunkenness when consumed.
