EDIT2: concerns BiG World v9.8

After my unsuccessful attempts to kill Sarevok (he regenerates very quickly) in the final battle, I searched the net and found out that I also have to kill Angelo and some other guy.

Problem is: there is neither Angelo nor Diarmid (?). There is only Tazok and Semaj. Off course, when I kill Tazok & Semaj Sarevok remains immortal.

I managed to complete the last chapter without being caught by the flaming fist. So I never met Angelo. Is this possibly the reason why he does not summon?

Diarmid is an unknown character to me.

I could put all the SPRITE_IS_DEADXXX to 1 which would make Sarevok moral, but I was wondering whether there was any way to "repair" the game so they do summon?

EDIT:
BGSARVOK.BSC seems very interesting and related to this:

    Wait(1)
    CreateCreature("dw#diarm",[965.482],0)  // ~Diarmid~
END

Now the strange thing is that I see the dimension door, but no-one is summoned. But I can summon them from the console.

Take a look at the attached file bgsarvok.bcs.log. I took BGSARVOK.00002.BCS and put it in the Override folder, and now the two summon correctly with a dimension door.

Here is the related working code from BGSARVOK.00002.BCS:

IF
  !Global("backup","LOCALS",1)
  GlobalTimerExpired("SarevokBackup","LOCALS")
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    SetGlobal("backup","LOCALS",1)
    CreateCreatureDoor("galdor",[965.482],0)
    CreateCreatureDoor("dw#diarm",[362.631],0)
  RESPONSE #100
    SetGlobal("backup","LOCALS",1)
    CreateCreatureDoor("galdor",[362.631],0)
    CreateCreatureDoor("dw#diarm",[965.482],0)
END

Furthermore, if I replace the original code in BGSARVOK.BSC with this working piece of code, then they summon correctly.

Now I don't understand. What caused the change from BGSARVOK.00002.BCS to BGSARVOK.00003.BCS? Was it SETUP-P5TWEAKS.TP2? And why does CreateCreature not work and why does CreateCreatureDoor work?

i do not think you have a generic code problem but a problem with mod installation order, or installing a beta state mod. this info would be gotten from the logfiles.

if your problem would be just code, other players would have reported it here as well or chimed in on your problem.

I used BiG World v9.8 for the installation. Maybe I should have stated that first. I adjusted the default install a bit without breaking the dependencies. While playing I didn’t have any issues, except this one and one which concerned the invitation to the Palace (and which was already reported). I think this is the correct forum for this mod.

I have not installed any mods that are flagged as "unstable" by BiG World v9.8.

This is a problem with an older version of Sword Coast Strategems from a couple of years ago.

Thanks. My version is quite new: v17.

I fixed it for myself as stated in the first post, but I believe it remains a problem in general for BWP. That is why I came here...

I narrowed the problem down to the "Wait(1)" command. If I remove it, all goes well. From the moment I put "Wait(1)" before "CreateCreature(...)", "CreateCreature(...)" is not executed. No idea why.
