The wiki has failed me again.

with(findnpc("turret"))

that's great, but how do I get the NPC's name? I mean, how do I know which NPC to find? Does it even work with putnpc2sies?

Here's the problem:
I've made a script that, clientside, comes up with a list of targets, then sends these targets to the serverside. The serverside checks the list of targets to make sure the player isn't being cheeky, then applies damage. Currently I've got the clientside triggering with a list of npc.id s, and the server's catching it no problem, but I can't seem to go from a list of npc.ids to a list of actual NPCs, short of running a very large findareanpcs and comparing their IDs...I'd much rather either send a list of npc.names (or whatever the mysterious property is, the wiki's no help) or look them up by id directly. temp.npc=npc.id(param1)? =findnpcbyid(param1)?
