callnpc 'index' ?

[nyghtGT]

Uhh, I have been using callnpc quite
a bit lately ... And I wanted to know
if there is a way to find the NPC index
without using something like:

NPC Code:

---

NPC Code:


for (i=0;i<npcscount;i++) {

  callnpc i,event;

}

---

I understand how everything works, I
just would like to know if there is a
way to get the index of an NPC ...

Uhm.
testnpc(x,y)?
I guess there isn't...

depends what you are looking for .. if you are looking for a certain npc in a lvl u can browse thru the npc array and stuff .. but like u cant set ne properties in a npc in which you will be able to view thru there..

Look in the debugger (there's numbers beside the name of the image and other npcs...It's not always right, but it should be within 2 numbers)

You mean only call the event on a certain NPC? Try setting a special number to one of the npc's save variables, then looping through all the NPC's in the level looking for the NPC with the certain save variable:

NPC Code:

---

for (i=0;i<npcscount;i++) {

  if (npcs[i].save[3]==11) callnpc i,event;

}

Well if you have the npc with a certain image...
