Npc Fights But Yeilds Before Death : IV

» Mon Sep 21, 2009 6:30 pm

Hi. Iv seen this before but I'm not sure how to do it - I want the player to confront an NPC who will engage in dialog but then break off and attack the player. After a while (and of course providing the player is not killed first!) the NPC should yield and dialog will begin again, straight away.

Dow is this done?

cheers

Which part are you having problems with? The "StartCombat player" or the "Yield" and "StartConversation"?

Or the bit in between, where you have to decide when to stop?

Starting combat is no problem, what I cant get to grips with is how to make the NPC yield before death, and start back with the dialog.

Add a token to them and monitor their health. When it falls below your threshold, call yield and follow it up with a startConversation call.

Okay, I looked up tokens in the Wiki so now I know roughly what I need to do, but the script I have no idea of. How would I monitor the NPC health?
