The Ghoul and his Amulet problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

I've run into a problem with the Ghoul and his Amulet quest in Chapter 2b.
I've got the Amulet, but the Ghoul never gives me the option of giving it to
him when I talk to him. Is there any way to fix this problem in DebugMode?

I think you can just take down the ghoul, to get everything you need from
its carcass..

I know I can just kill the ghoul, but I want to avoid doing that. Hence the
query.

In DebugMode what is the name of the variable that needs to be toggled to
get the ghoul to give me the next conversation, or at least the option of
giving him the amulet?

I think it's impossible. The most essential script line looks like this:

iResult = GetLocalInt(Global(), "NW_J_FETCHPLOT") >=30;

AFAIK, with the console you can only change variables which are stored
directly in a selectable object like creatures or placeables. In this
special case the variable isn't stored on the character, but on a "local
object" named "Global", which is accessed via an include script.

Thanks Hans

That is very helpful. In my struggles I also found a few scripts concerning
the outcast. Most seem to deal with getting the ghoul to say random
one-liners, but two were interesting.

One seemed to give and take the stuff. It would check to see if you had the
amulet and would take the lever and the key from the ghoul and give him the
amulet. It also seems to give xp.

The other, called 2Q3_Outcast_9 was very interesting. It seems to set the
fetch items for the quest and makes the ghoul lord a quest giver. Perhaps,
for whatever reason this script isn't running. I'm going to try running it.

DebugMode 1
runscript 2Q3_Outcast_9
DubugMode 0

I'll let you know if this works.

Well, it was worth a try

On my machine (SoU and HotU installed) the filename of the script is
2q4f_outcast_9. But even the right name wouldn't help very much, because it
reqiures an object (the Ghul) as a function parameter. And AFAIK you can't
use the runscript command on an object.
