I am not saying to completely copy them but it would be nice to have a dungeon that is more challenging like that with puzzles. I have heard more interesting quests exist on Graal2001 and Classic Graal but I have not been able to really see this because of lag and my slow 250 MHz computer.

Sage please don't say YOU brought this beast back to life...?

Sadly to say nope. It is my actual computer, that I own. Well actually my mom bought it for me a long time ago. I think in the year of 98. My sister's computer is much better, but that is because she bought it and she does not live with me as some of you people know. She doesn't have graal though, ugh. Maybe during the summer, I might work some more hours to buy a better computer.

I've been waiting for someone to create a make-shift AI since Oct '98 and as of yet I've been disappointed.

So here's your big chance! Be the first to create this analytical attacking NPC and you'll be famous through out Graal.

I am offering a reward of up to 2000g*. 1000g for a script that works for an NPC-Control'ed server and 1000g for one that works standalone. If an entry contains code that will run flawlessly in both environments then all 2000g is rewarded.

If any of the below points are not possible with the present GScript, then this contest will run it is possible and someone completes the task.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Analytical Attacker:

- an NPC player sprite
- 3 modes: wander, hunt/attack, and retreat/heal
- hunts player down to attack with sword, bomb, or arrow
- avoids sword, bomb, and arrow player attacks
- can pick up player bombs to throw back at player
- if low on health, will retreat to heal
- if the opportunity exists, reflect arrows to hit player
- able to pickup and throw other nearby throw able objects
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

All qualifying entries will be made public for all to use.

* amount rewarded will depend solely on script quality and how well the NPC holds to the above description

You dork it already exists..LoL
go on N-Pulse, then to Blue Wizards House.. and I believe Ace made one that does that too

The one on N-Pulse can be used for spar training. However, some things are a bit weird.

Something like this would take too much time w/o motivation
