[Gman4pwnu]

the title tells it all :o

Since there are idiots out there i decided id make it simple for them...

I am scripting an RTS server for graal.

What would be the best way to tell a unit that its supposed to move?

First, a class in Graal is just something like 'include' in C[++], so you should work on your question and add more detail to it.

Please leave that to the moderators.

If I've interpreted your problem correctly, you want a way to tell a putnpc2-ed unit what to do. I'd suggest a combination of testnpc and with to reach the NPC and give it instructions accordingly. The NPC could idly wait for instructions to act upon or you could callnpc it to execute the instructions without having to wait.

Use 'with' my friend.

hint: npcscount-1

That is certainly one way of doing it

Sure, if you want to access the last npc added. I do not think this is the case here.

but you cant call a function with that

[Tolnaftate2004]

You can use callnpc to call a flag that runs some code or calls a function (like in the gralats class).

From commands.rtf:

NPC Code:

---

callnpc index,eventflag;		calls the script of another npc (not immediatelly)

Stefan once said callnpc was laggy and should be avoided

A level triggeraction would be better, anyway, as long as NPCs aren't stacked on top of one another.

[Evil_Trunks]

what if the NPC is hidden?

the other day, I was wondering what the best way to trigger it would be
