I did it anyway tho.
So... yea, having trouble even with adding conditionals. although they're definitely not as reliable.

UGH... Just one giant optimization problem that seems to have no ends. Classic's most popular level, standing, loads 160 NPCs. I haven't counted how many have a setshape (probably a majority of them). Changing the conditions is the only thing that makes it lag less, yet, you the only truly reliable conditions I can come up with are: npcs.size > 0, npcs[i].width>0 && npcs[i].height>0.

It is a LOT easier to optimize the players check, since they have a constant width and height.

Okay, list of problems with not having a built-in onNPC() function so far.
1. To limit the range of checking for NPCs (the most obvious means of optimizing) means to limit the size of setshapes. (Which I'm trying anyway)
2. Can't check to see if an NPC uses dontblock(). Would have to add to every NPC that has dontblock() a variable this.dontblock=1; or blockagain(); this.dontblock=0;
