I believe they require such a shape in order to receive triggers.

If not you probably should include:

PHP Code:

this.setshape(1, 32, 32); //32 pixels = 2 tiles in width and height 


You also need to make sure that the function is serverside/clientside according to where the area trigger was handled.

Objects definitely don't need to have a shape to receive triggers via obj.trigger()

This may well be the case now but I recall they did at some point, I think it was necessary for serverside NPCs.

I highly doubt it. trigger doesn't use coordinates at all; you can trigger weapons, TStaticVars, players, or any other object.

I'm referring to the ability to find an object via findareanpcs();.
