[NPC] Is it possible?

[Jeremgod]

Hello

I was wondering if it's possible to determine a certain path for a NPC, In other words, I have a Patrol NPC just for looks I want him to be able to roam the streets only I don't want him to go everywhere, is it possible to make an NPC go from point A to point B (like if we would map click as a player) and more specifically waypoints, if so how do I do this? and can anyone show me an example of the code?

Thanks in advance, Jeremgod

Bump ... again? No one knows?

I think you should disable autowaking from NPC and do script with function onThink() with selfMoveTo(x, y, z)

 

[Jeremgod]

I'm not quite sure I know how to do that, I tried a few things but it failed I don't even know how to disable autowalking

You can use doMoveCreature

 

[Diath]

local waypoints, waypoint = {
}, 1

function onThink()
	if doComparePositions(getThingPosition(getNpcId()), waypoints[waypoint]) then
		waypoint = waypoint + 1
		if waypoint > #waypoints then
			waypoint = 1
		end

		selfMoveTo(waypoints[waypoint])
	end
end

I think something like this would work.

 

[Darkhaos]

This will makes npc moves to the last position, and when the npc reachs the last position, returns to start position

local waypoints =
{
	{x = 91, y = 127, z = 7},
	{x = 91, y = 128, z = 7},
	{x = 91, y = 129, z = 7},
	{x = 92, y = 128, z = 7},
	{x = 93, y = 129, z = 7}
}

local waypoint = 1
local lastWaypoint = 0
local interval = 5
local i = 5
function onThink()
	doCreatureSetNoMove(getNpcCid(), true)
	i = i + 1
	if i >= interval then
		if waypoint > #waypoints then
			waypoint = #waypoints - 1
		elseif waypoint < 1 then
			waypoint = 1
		end

		doTeleportThing(getNpcCid(), waypoints[waypoint], true)
		if waypoint > lastWaypoint or waypoint == lastWaypoint then
			lastWaypoint = waypoint
			waypoint = waypoint + 1
		else
			lastWaypoint = waypoint
			waypoint = waypoint - 1
		end
		i = 0
	end
end

That is a good script, i will use it, but i think he wants it to walk not teleport.

It walks, i forget a variable on the function

Is it possible to make them walk faster?

 

[Limos]

speed="10000"

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<npc name="Speed" script="default.lua" walkinterval="2000" speed="10000" floorchange="0">
	<health now="150" max="150"/>
	<look type="136" head="20" body="59" legs="117" feet="92" corpse="2212"/>
	<parameters>
		<parameter key="message_greet" value="Hello |PLAYERNAME|."/>
	</parameters>
</npc>

 

[The Mapper]

It works but I need it to move smoother.

 

[Limos]

Do you mean more often? just make the walkinterval lower.

 

[The Mapper]

It does not work... for example I need the npc to walk the waypoints at the speed of a Rat, a Wolf, or a Sheep, but moving smooth.

 

[The Mapper]

Bump

 

[Limos]

If you want it to walk like a monster, just make the speed the same as the monster and the walkinterval really low.

 

[GhostX]

I think he means like a constant movement like a monster, so wouldn't the interval be 0 and the speed be same as the monster?

 

[The Mapper]

Made it work...

Can anyone make this script work for TFS 1.2?
