How do you permanently Petrify NPC's in the toolset?
You know, Apply a VFX like Stoneskin on them n stuff?

i would suggest getting lilacs soul script generator. make a on heartbeat/spawn/perception, however youd like it apply effect pertrify permanently and vfx of stone.its pretty easy but there are easier ways this is just what I do.

NWN Vault and Bioware Forums are always the best way to get some toolset help.

There is also a website that has tons of scripts, though I forgot the name. Terra has it for sure though.

Petrification kind of sucks, however, if you put it into OnSpawn, as they're frozen in place before they have a chance to go into their idle pose.

LilacSoul is bleh as it creates some really untidy scripts, but if you don't know what you're doing, it works well enough.

To wait for the idle pose you could do the petrification bit on a delay.

That doesn't work as well as you'd expect, unfortunately, because the pose of the NPC is client-side, not server-side. It only loads the NPC up and shifts them into the idle pose when the PC is able to see them... meaning a delay for OnSpawn will still freeze them in an awkward pose.

This is why we just use the Stoneskin VFX here instead of actually petrifying them, by the way.
