How would you go about scripting a system to beat the animal into submission? put some type of event on the creature and have the event check its hitpoints or something then toggle a tag on the creature?

Event and tag should be fine

I have a question about events,and now, i cannot try it in local

I want to add three events(event_b,event_a,event_d) with the same trigger(@gethit) to a npc, in what order the triggers will be fired ?

By "installation order"

1. event_b
2. event_a
3. event_d
   

or by alphabetical/numeric order

1. event_a
2. event_b
3. event_d
   

?

thats something you're going to have to test I would assume all at once.

No. There is a order you have to follow with multiple Triggers:

From the wiki:

Quote:The order of event handling

There are quite a few ways to add events to items or characters. These are:


EVENTS +DEFNAME
Can be set by a function, another event, a player action, or inside a trigger (for example, the @Create trigger).


TEVENTS=DEFNAME
In the body of the ITEMDEF or CHARDEF. There may be as many of TEVENTS lines as you wish.


TYPE=DEFNAME
(Items only) In the body of the ITEMDEF. There can only be ONE base type definition. TYPEs are not only events, they also determine some basic behaviour of the item, and it's capabilities (for example, if an item is not of an equippable type, it cannot be equipped).


DIRECT TRIGGERS
Poor man's events: As events are generally assortments of triggers what can be added to an item or character. You may also "hardcode" some trigger actions in the ITEMDEF/CHARDEF itself.


ORDER OF FIRING
Look at these simple code examples:


[ITEMDEF i_triggertester]
ID=i_floor_wood
TYPE = t_testtype
NAME=TriggerTester
TEVENTS=e_tev_test

ON=@Create
EVENTS +e_ev_test

ON=@DClick
SERV.LOG item dclick from direct trigger

[TYPEDEF e_ev_test]
ON=@DClick
SERV.LOG dclick from event

[TYPEDEF e_tev_test]
ON=@DClick
SERV.LOG item dclick from tevent

[TYPEDEF t_testtype]
ON=@DClick
SERV.LOG item dclick from base typedef


This gives the following results:

item dclick from event
item dclick from tevent
item dclick from base typedef
item dclick from direct trigger


The same for characters:


[CHARDEF c_testorc]
ID=c_orc
NAME=TestOrc
TEVENTS=e_tev_character

ON=@Create
STR = 100

ON=@NPCRestock
EVENTS +e_ev_character

ON=@DClick
SERV.LOG char dclick from direct trigger

[EVENTS e_tev_character]
ON=@DClick
SERV.LOG char dclick from tevent

[EVENTS e_ev_character]
ON=@DClick
SERV.LOG char dclick from event


The results:

char dclick from event
char dclick from tevent
char dclick from direct trigger

wait wait , i mean all that events i wrote, are installed with EVENTS +e_a EVENTS e_d EVENTS +e_b etc

Have a look at the misc monster abilities. I think that it might give you some clues. For example getting to a certain amount of HP and going invis, or healing. I think you would just ahve to set it to HP brackets

Post: #8

It would be better to have only one trigger who checks events on the player to have 3 triggers apart.

My suggestion, make one trigger who check event e_a, e_b, e_d,... (with ISEVENT of course), and return the desired value or effect at the end.
The other way is simply too troublesome for me.

I think it was with the order that's shown when you type ".show events". And what is the order of that? I suppose installation order.

All of the above might be wrong though.

Post: #10

I tested it , it's installation order .

Plus triggers of the same type in differents events share both locals and arguments ! Interesting


Instead, events inserted in the sphere.ini in the fields EventsPlayers etc trigger after the events installed by script/game
