NPCs not in levels

Python523 · #1 03-03-2002, 06:02 AM

On the NPC list, there is an NPC (Control-NPC) that is not in a level and it shows just a blank in the level slot. How would I make an NPC on the list not appear in a level??

I suggest you don't, it tends to delete NPCs like that from time to time...

just set it's type to CONTROL, and make the list thingie refresh somehow, I guess...

Global control NPC's.

Can be used for day/night and such.

it always told me to specify a level, even if the type was CONTROL

First of all you cant get an NPC in there without a level, even if you do, NPC Control will disconnect itself for security purposes then all NPCs no work. ^_^

The Control-NPC and the weapon npcs (that
control the server-side part of the weapons)
are special npcs that are not assigned to a level,
because they automatically jump to the level where
the action happens (control npc gets the special
actions actionplayeronline and actionprojectile and
actionsprojectile, the weapons the actionserverside).
It would be possible to have normal npcs not
assigned to a level, like just for storing values or
running a timeout, but we haven't seen much
purpose for that yet.
