city guard npc

[GregoryJ]

Hello,

I'm looking for a guard npc that attacks monsters that get to close to the city, and not attacking other npcs. I've searched for this and can't get any of them to work.

Thanks for looking

thanks for post.

I created the new npc but he wont attack any monsters.. I'm using forgotten server 2.014

 

[GregoryJ]

No errors in the server terminal also

 

[azzkaban]

Look tis line:
local monster = {"Wolf", "Snake", "Troll", "Bug"}
try put name of monster

 

[GregoryJ]

I put bugs in the area and he wont attack

 

[GregoryJ]

Bump! any help would be appreciated!

selfFollow(_target)

this doesn't work with monsters... so the npc won't follow the monster...

 

[GregoryJ]

is there another way to do this?

 

[GregoryJ]

bump!
