I’m not sure where to begin with this. I want to start with a stack of empty potions and end with an equal stack of brewed potions. I have increased the stack size of both empty potion bottles and brewed potions in baseitems.2da, but it still only brews one potion at a time. Salvation used to have a system like this in place. Is this done via scripting or 2DAs?
Update:
I modified the X2_pc_craft script and now it brews a whole stack but it doesn’t restack them
int nRet = (CIGetSpellWasUsedForItemCreation(oTarget));
SetExecutedScriptReturnValue (nRet);
if (nRet == TRUE)
{ int nCount = 1;
while (nCount < nStack)
{ CIGetSpellWasUsedForItemCreation(oTarget);
nCount++;
}
}
}
I tried making another loop in the acquire item script to find an existing potion with a matching name in my inventory, delete it, and increase the stack size of the entering potion by the existing stack size. It just deletes all incoming potions : /
Hi
as far as i can see, your script will delete any potion with a certain name. The new aquired item is not separated from the inventory, the loop will kill it as well.
I would try the following strategy:
Save the blueprint ID of the item to a variable
Use the loop to count all the items with that name (Adding the stacksizes)
delete the items
** End of the the loop**
Create a new item with the correct stacksize
Edit: After some thinking I’ve change the suggested strategy. It does only covers the On_Aquire event.
You need to keep the “count” and “set stack size” apart. So, it will be a combination of your two scripts.
i.e. Do a count to determine how many you want to create. Then use something like …
SetItemStackSize(oItem, nCount);
… after you have created the single oItem. (Do not place this function inside the loop.)
I hope that makes sense … Ask if not.
Basically, once you know how many you need, just run SetItemStackSize(oItem, nCount); on the oItem to set its stack size.
EDIT: Handling stacked items (and consolidating them upon acquisition) was an exceedingly difficult piece of code I had to work with when I looked at something like this. The problem is, NWN semi-automatically does its own thing when handling stacked items, which means such item objects may not be what you think they are (due to the way stacking works) and so requires careful checking and timing. EDIT: My own consolidation code was done in NWN2. I did not do anything like this when I coded NWN1.

May be it help you, just change give_gold for give_item
See this pinned thread for instructions on how to post code in these threads. It is essential that you use one of the three (preferably either [code] [/code] or ```) as Discourse automatically converts your code’s " into the 66/99 style. This means that your code throws syntax errors when you try to compile it.
Here is your code in a code box -
/ This script goes in the "Actions Taken" tab of a
// conversation. It will reward the PC 10 gold and

void main()

object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();
// Now, find the first item in that PC’s inventory
object oItem = GetFirstItemInInventory(oPC);
// Start the loop. The next statement says to

while (GetIsObjectValid(oItem))
{
// Check the tag on the current item
if (GetTag(oItem) == "goblin_ear")
{
// Statements within these brackets will

GiveGoldToCreature(oPC, 10);

// Now move on to the next item
oItem = GetNextItemInInventory(oPC);

This has the added advantage that you get a copy button when you hover the mouse pointer over the code.
