NPC setimg() from another NPC

It seems as though NPCs don't update their image on a player's screen until actually interacting with the NPC (onCreated(), onPlayer____()). At least, this is seen on Unholy Nation with their Event Doors. Is there any way to get the image to update with a (public) function called from another NPC?

Edit: Seems like they don't update anything (to the player) unless an interaction with the player is done.

Maybe it's just asleep and you need to wake it by triggering an event?

All you need to do is..

this.trigger("Update", "");

Which will force an update (Any event will do not just Update)

It's triggering a function from the other NPC. The problem is that it won't update to the player, though is updated on the server, until player interaction occurs (onPlayerTouchsMe, onPlayerEnters).

Edit: Seems like having a timeout triggering (starting from onCreated) can update the NPC to the player.

Edit: That worked too, Jer, and will be more efficient, thanks. Still pretty weird that it needs this in the first place.

No need for the second parameter now :)

PHP Code:


		
			
this.trigger("update");

Another note to my post, originally Novo had stored clan data and so on in a DB but we experienced a random data loss when the server restarted/crashed. To counter this:

PHP Code:


		
			
function saveData() {

  // Just setting a test variable

  this.variable = "lolwhatever";



  // Forces the DB to update/save to the HDD (from what I understood from Stefan)

  this.trigger("Update");

}
