Okay, there are a couple of scripts that I use very commonly, like setnpcdirection or walknpc. If I wanted to shortcut these commands (ie, only have to type facenpc) so I can type this stuff up faster, what do I do?

If I were to make a script called FACENPC, and that script had this:
Quote:

script,FACENPC,begin
setnpcdirection
end


would I be able to type my scripts up like this?
Quote:
FACENPC(jamespaige,west)


Since the same script would be used for multiple npcs, I would like to make sure this is the right way. Thanks.

You'd need something like this:

Code:
script, facenpc, who, where, begin
 setnpcdirection(who,where)
end


Hspeak won't magic the arguments for you. Gotta put them there yourself.

So...

Code:

script, facenpc, who, where, begin
 setnpcdirection(who,where)
end

script,facers,begin
facenpc (james,east)
facenpc (john,west)


Would work?

Thanks! I haven't ever really used arguments, but now I think I understand it better. Happy

Well, you don't have an "end" on facers, but otherwise, yeah.
