on/off script for chairs/thrones

[Daniel1975]

This is a script I made that applies an effect to a throne when the person with the correct cd-key will sit on it:

void main()
{
 object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
 object oThrone = OBJECT_SELF;
 effect eVis = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_GLOW_YELLOW);

 if(GetIsObjectValid(oThrone)&&
   !GetIsObjectValid(GetSittingCreature(oThrone)) &&
    GetPCPublicCDKey(oPC)== "xxx")
     {
      AssignCommand(oPC, ActionSit(oThrone));
      ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT, eVis, OBJECT_SELF);
      SetLocalInt(OBJECT_SELF, "DM_No_Magic", 1);
     }
 else
  {
   string NoSit = "You are not allowed to sit on this throne!";
   FloatingTextStringOnCreature(NoSit, oPC);
  }
}


Now I think it would be more funny when the visual effect is removed again when the person moves out of the throne.
I fear I have to use a loop?? And how?

You use a onbeat on your thrones anyway, add a check on it that gets the sitting creature. Check for the cdkey and apply the visual for 6 (or a bit more) seconds to it. The visual will wear off and readded as long the creature sits on it. This is prolly the easy way.

Hmmmm I have SOU & HOTU so I have 3 cd-keys too. But since I am not able to start the game only by using the SOU-CD or the basic NWN-CD I think checking only one CD-Key is okay for me.
And the problem is not which CD-Key to use but how to script this on and off effekt but I think I try this while loop mel posted above your post Khadgar  
Thanks anyway

LOL Khadgar, I am not worrieing about ppl sitting in thrones which doesn't belong to them. That's not the problem at all.
Besides, I think I'll try Mel's idea.

However thanks for your post

It's your Public CD Key.. It's not a game CD key.. More like Gamespy  one I think.. I'm not sure where you find it, but it is easy enough to loo kat server logs or make a small script for the pc to say his own key or whatnot.
