how do you setfocus to a player on a different level? I have tried normal setfocus using indexes and such bvut it wont work

Unless you are using a gmap, you cannot focus on a player in another level.

Well, you could, but you would not be able to actually see anything happening there.

Well, couldn't you copy the levels tiles into variables or something? I heard Alexander did something similar, which turned out awesome I might add.

well i wanna know cus i have this npc where you take control of that person totally, except wepons and junk. like u get a basic attack to use, then u also control movement and talking. I think itd be better if it setfocus on them. alkso what stop movement commands work serverside?

are you reffering to a spy npc? I don't think that is a reliable alternative for him

yeah spy npcs are easy except i dunno the tile part i just have it so u see the person talking and ganis and it displays things about then. It sux that u cant focus on that player then for a control npc:-/

Think about that one for a minute.

Lol... You can't see player movement on different levels unless using a gmap, so even if you did setfocus on a different level it wouldn't matter...

So in other words there is no way in current gscript to do this?

It's a pointless idea that would be inefficient to create. There is no real purpose for it besides a "spy" npc which is pointless.

No, you don't understand. If you are not receiving player movements or the npcs in another level (which you aren't), this command would be good for absolutely nothing.
