 |
|
In my script I'm trying to get a npc to move around yet for some reason it won't. Here is the script...
suspend player
walk hero (me,north,2)
wait for hero (me)
set hero direction (me,west)
wait for hero (me)
set hero direction (me,south)
wait for hero (me)
show text box (14)
wait for text box
create npc (2,29,24,north)
wait for npc (2)
walk npc (3,north,2)
wait for npc (2)
walk npc (3,west,1)
wait for npc (2)
resume player
It works until the npc has to move. When it gets there the npc doesn't move and the script stops. I even check the npc speed in CUSTOM. Please help me with this. |

| try suspend NPCs and resume NPCs at the begining and end of the script along with the suspend player and resume player, other than that I can't think of anything wrong with this script, appart from an end command at the end. |

| Nope that didn't do anything. And I already had an end command. |

| Ah got it (can't believe I missed this before), have you checked to see if your NPC has a speed, if the NPCs speed is 0 then they won't move regardless, speed 4 is player speed, if it matters to you. That fixed it? |

| Code: |
create npc (2,29,24,north)
wait for npc (2)
walk npc (3,north,2)
wait for npc (2)
walk npc (3,west,1)
wait for npc (2)
|
There are a couple problems.
First of all, you "create npc" with ID 2, but you "walk npc" with ID 3. That is the main problem.
| Code: |
create npc (2,29,24,north)
wait for npc (2)
walk npc (2,north,2)
wait for npc (2)
walk npc (2,west,1)
wait for npc (2)
|
One minor problem is that you don't need "wait for npc" after "create npc". You only need "wait npc" when the NPC is moving. That is just a minor problem.
| Code: |
create npc (2,29,24,north)
walk npc (2,north,2)
wait for npc (2)
walk npc (2,west,1)
wait for npc (2)
|
The last problem is that if you have more than one copy of this NPC on your map, the "walk npc" command is only going to work for the first one, which might not be the one you just created. I would suggest using an npc reference, like this:
| Code: |
variable(n)
n := create npc (2,29,24,north)
walk npc (n,north,2)
wait for npc (n)
walk npc (n,west,1)
wait for npc (n)
|
This method guarantees that the "walk npc" command will operate on the same NPC that you created with "create npc", and it will work right now matter how many other copies of NPC #2 happen to exist on the map.
Although if there is only one copy of NPC #2 on the map, then you don't need to bother doing it this way. |
