yet another one of my nutty ideas

[SSmutz]

when someone stays idle for too long (even when paused), the character should fall asleep.

[Psyker]

good one, hehe

[ReBBisH]

=) That'd rock and a good way to get rid of idlers...err how about when they stand near a bomy too long, they die from the ugliness? oOooooooOOo

[Tyhm]

I can do that.

Edit idle.gani...put a huge delay in it, and if the player doesn't reset the gani every 10 seconds or so, the player does something...I dunno, pulls out a book and flips through it, plays with a yoyo, or just starts wobbling back and forth with the "grabbing" head on and the Z Emoticon by their head...^_^

[ReBBisH]

You don't have to educate me on Gani's Tyhm

[SSmutz]

i think, ill intergrate something like that into the bomy caverns.

[ReBBisH]

Make some hammocks or something that you can sleep in or a sleeping room That would rock...

[SSmutz]

good idea, ill make patches of hay or something like that for bomys, and hamocks for humans

[Psyker]

heh, kinda like in RPGs when you don't move your character for a while they start do do something.

Thym suggested good ones, but I say you pull out your sword and start swingin' it =P

[freddyfox]

Bomies could sleep, humans could tap their foot.

[added]It's TYHM! Sheesh, give him some respect :P[/added]

[SSmutz]

the only problem is, that i dunno how to make it change the gani when ever they stay still to long. could someone fill in the blank for me?

NPC Code:

---

if ( ___ ){

     setcharani sleeping,;

}

In whatever you people use for timeout loops now:

NPC Code:

---

if(strequals(#m,idle)) this.idle++;

else this.idle=0;

if(this.idle>60){

  setcharani bored,;

}

[SSmutz]

ok, thanks.
im still trying to learn strings.

[Hawk]

That's a really good idea.
I am going to tell stefan about that one...
thats an excellent idea

[SSmutz]

not if i tell him first, =P. anyway, itll be a while before i can even get around to making that

[Psyker]

it's a race to Stefan!

I used a code similar to that one for an offline unstick me NPC .
