[Omen]

I added my NPC to the map, to the npc.xml just like ive done with tons of other NPCs ive made. but this one wont spawn, what do I do?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<npc name="Orc Prison Guard" floorchange="0" walkinterval="0">
	<health now="150" max="150" /> 
	<look type="5" head="0" body="0" legs="0" feet="0" addons="0" />
	<voices interval="5000" chance="50">
		<voice sentence="I left the door unlocked! Run!" /> 
		<voice sentence="Ill be killed if your caught.." /> 
		<voice sentence="Do not forget the knife ive left for you!" /> 
	</voices>
</npc>

what server files are you using? The NPC spawns I believe should be in <mapname>-spawn.xml within the world folder.

 

[Omen]

tfs 8.22 - Its in the spawn file in the data/world folder - it says he spawns there, but i restart the server and log in and voila! nothing is there!

 

[Arlianin]

are U sure that the <mapname>-spawn.xml file has the spawn with the same name as the npc or the npc file name?

 

[Omen]

 <spawn centerx="27" centery="51" centerz="10" radius="2">
  <npc name="Orc Prison Guard" x="0" y="-1" z="10" spawntime="60" /> 
  </spawn>

sure im sure.

Maybe the X, Y and Z coords are wrong? Try using the file name for the npc spawn name or check the X, Y and Z coords online the server.

 

[Omen]

the coords are correct, as we did it in the map editor and checked it in-game. i dont know how to use the file name for the npc spawn.

 

[Arlianin]

Like, you can enter data/npc and see the npc name. Use that name for the spawn file.

 

[Omen]

npc name is the same as the file name

 

[Arlianin]

hmmm. found your error. Usually, npcs should load a script file.
example

<npc name="example npc" script="data/npc/scripts/example.lua"

Try to fix a default script that every npc can use. Then make that npc load from that script. Try this and then tell me your results.

 

[Omen]

ive made 5 other npcs that load no script...

This npc works 100%

 

[Arlianin]

Then something else is wrong with your npc.

sorry but I can't help you any further

 

[Omen]

thanks alot for your time!

 

[Omen]

Bump, nobody has any suggestion?

Basicly, npc doesn't need a script. But:

    <voices interval="5000" chance="50">
        <voice sentence="I left the door unlocked! Run!" /> 
        <voice sentence="Ill be killed if your caught.." /> 
        <voice sentence="Do not forget the knife ive left for you!" /> 
    </voices>

Isn't supported by NPC.
