CreatureEvent onLook Interact with NPC

[Joe Rod]

Hi guys, with this you would greet the npc and open its shop (if has)
It works on directly look and look on battlelist
This is really simple, but someone could find it useful

data/events/scripts/player.lua

at the beginning of file paste this

local minDist = 5 --this will be the min distance required to interact

find

function Player:onLook(thing, position, distance)

paste this below that:

    if (thing:isCreature() and thing:isNpc() and distance <= minDist) then
       self:say("hi", TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_PN, false, thing)
       self:say("trade", TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_PN, false, thing)
       return false   
   end

find

function Player:onLookInBattleList(creature, distance)

paste this below that:

    if (creature:isNpc() and distance <= minDist) then
       self:say("hi", TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_PN, false, creature)
       self:say("trade", TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_PN, false, creature)
       return false   
   end

tested on OTX, it will work on TFS 1.x i guess

It would be pretty cool if, your 6 tiles away, and you look at NPC it says "You ese NPC. Get closer to talk to NPC"

idk why i can't edit main post :/


replace

if (thing:isCreature() and thing:isNpc() and distance <= minDist) then

to

if (thing:isCreature() and thing:isNpc()) then
       if (distance > minDist) then
           self:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_SMALL, "Get closer to talk to NPC.")
           return false
       end

now replace

if (creature:isNpc() and distance <= minDist) then

to

if (creature:isNpc()) then
       if (distance > minDist) then
           self:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_SMALL, "Get closer to talk to NPC.")
           return false
       end

I'm sorry man. I guess I just assumed without reading that you implemented this the same way you did your onTarget interact with NPC. For that I apologize. This is exactly where this code belongs!

Thanks for the great release! And never mind me...
