Clientside NPC loading problem

[Lance]

If you change levels before the clientside NPCs of a level are fully loaded, they will load in the wrong level.

Example: worldl-17.nw on Graal2001 Dev, enter cs2_start.nw and exit back to worldl-17.nw before the NPCs finish loading. You will see worldl-17.nw as a nopkzone and sparringzone.

Also, sometimes if you enter a level, some of the NPCs are at the wrong positions. Often happens to NPCs with scripts like x+=.5; or something else.

Put the adjustment in the created event block instead of the playerenters event block. This is not a bug. -_-

Normally the npcserver says where the npcs go to so you can never get the npcs into the wrong level. It's a little bit hard to test when having a low ping too x-x Do you also see the npcs in the other level or is it only a problem of the scripts still running when you already entered the other level ?

It seems to just keep executing the script when you have entered the other level. I added:

NPC Code:

---

  addstring client.message,playerenters L:#L, F:#F;

---

to the script, and according to it the value of #F is the inside level when this happens, but #L is the outside level.
