getting level npcs problem

I'm having trouble trying to get all the npcs in a single level. Right now I'm just trying to change the npcs chat. When ever I attempt to change their chat only two npcs in the level get found and their chat doesnt change until I grab them.

here is what im using to find the level npcs

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide(cmd){

  switch(cmd){

    case"start":

      player.chat = "start";

      temp.npcs = findlevel(params[1]).npcs;

      for(temp.i:temp.npcs){

        temp.i.chat = "testing  123";

        player.chat = temp.i.x SPC temp.i.chat;

        //waitfor("","idk",.5);

      }

      break;

  }

}

hello!

several years ago the npc-server was updated so that variables within npcs only synchronise to players clients upon an event occurring

if you add:

PHP Code:


		
			
  temp.i.trigger("Update");

within the for loop (the event function does not have to actually exist, though i would personally change the npcs chat variable within the event just for clarity) it should force the chat to synchronise

Thank you, it worked but I still have the problem where only 2 npcs are affected. I have a total of 4 npcs in the level but only two of them get changed.

do the other 2 npcs have any custom serverside code or a setshape?

npcs which dont have any code beyond default synchronisation variables are actually considered un-necessary by the npc-server, and are therefore automatically removed from level.npcs[] serverside (as these are usually only necessary clientside)

okay now it works perfect, thank you again!
I had some client side script in the two npcs and just deleted it since it wasn't needed.
