Hi, I've made a Troll in a pit. Yeah!


This pit was created as a place where bones & skulls get dumped after some unlucky adventurers got themselves killed by dremora's. But then I noticed a problem: if the player falls into this pit with no exit-way at all, the player would be forced to use a cheat like ' TCL ' in the command-console to get out. So I've made a big nasty Troll with superman-like powers which kills the player with only a few blows... (The Troll functions like a living KillBox)

But this solution created a new problem: if the player leaves the cell the Troll will follow, but the exit-less pit suggests to the player he can't.

I need help with creating a script which prevents the Troll (with a big 'S' on his chest) from following the player beyond the borders of his own cell.

Just give the troll less than 30 intelligence and turn off low level processing. That should solve the problem. If not, you can always script a cell reset or force the actor(s) to stop combat after the player leaves the cell.

Easiest method would be to place a door for the player to escape (maybe place a key in a visible spot in the pit that the player must grab to open the door) and lower the Goblins Intellect low enough so he will not use doors (IIRC Less than 30 Int and they will not use doors)

Ok, let's see if that works.

It worked! Thank you!


@ JDFan: although your solution was the most logical one, the purpose of the pit changed during modding: turning it into a deathtrap became one of the main goals of this particular part of my Mod.

But thanks for the suggestion!

Weeell, there is also the function of restricting usage to minimum when double-clicking a door reference ^_^ IIRC, it makes the door "invisible" to NPCs and Creatures

I was aware about that option, but if the 'Hidden' box would be checked the other NPC's and Creatures would also not be able to use that door.

Well, then there is also Sub-spaces Just corner the troll with them and it shouldn't be able to follow.
Nah, maybe it's best to just lower it's INT. I like stupid trolls more than super-intelligent ones

Indeed, much INT isn't needed: they only have to kick our ...



Sub-spaces?

http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/SubSpace They can be used to make separate worldspaces within one worldspace. They are very useful sometimes

Interesting... Thanks!

Now I remember something:

I ignorently deleted some of those blue-boxes a year ago from a Sigil-tower's top floor inside realm-01 of my Mod... It totally screwed up the whole cell!

!

:D Bad luck

Yeah, the removel of those blue-boxes made it impossible for the player to step close to some of the walls of Sigillum Sanguis: You just would bounce right back!
