However, I have come to certain a point. I want to be able to test for NPCs using the x,y,w,h method. There, is, however, no way in the current scripting language to script this efficiently. NPCs can have any x and y value (clientside), and any width and height value (clientside). They round to the nearest 16th (well, 16ths is all that matters for the movement system anyways). In order to make the testing precise for NPCs, you would have to check every pixel of the defined area to test for it. I wouldn't do that.
However, onwall2 IS able to test NPCs, though I wouldn't know how.
perhaps an onNPC(x,y,w,h) function could be made?
