Scripting: action when gobelin is torn out?

[THOM]

Hey
does someone know if you can add an action when a gobelin is torn out?

I tried the "onDie" hook, but it had no result.

Really no one an idea?

Gobelins seem to have some hardcoded attributes (sound, health) - and no other hooks, that could be used...

Maybe some scripting resolution?

Gobelins belong to object class "WallTapestry" and beside placing and breaking them there is nothing else that can be done with them. The only option i see (and i don't know how to do it) is to write a script that checks if a specific gobelin was torn down. If that's not possible a class change is required to enable any action.

About to get on a plane in an hour or so, so can't post a full solution right now but I think the way I would do it is to add a function to the party onAttack hook and then check to see if the specific Wall Tapstry is 'directly in front' of the player. Attacks on Wall Tapestry's always hit I think, so you should be able to assume you always hit it if it's there.

Another possibility (maybe) is to make a new blockage perhaps, which is a single model made of both a wall and the tapestry meshes merged together. I think you can query a blockage to see if it's destroyed? This doesn't seem like the best solution, but I'm just throwing out an alternative route if there is a reason why (A) wouldn't work.

You'll also need to account for the tapestry being destroyed by a fireball.
