It only works in the Control-NPC

PHP Code:

function onRCChat(cmd){
  switch(cmd){
    case "reset":
      sendtorc("/reset" SPC params[1]);
      break;
    default:
      sendtorc("Commands")
      sendtorc("/npc reset account - resets player ");
      break;
  }
}

I need the NPC itself to reset itself, not it to reset a player.

It's example usage of the event/function, not copy-pasta for your specific situation.

I still do not believe this is necessary. Like it was said earlier in the thread, if you are needing to reset an NPC routinely then you are doing something wrong.

what about clientside scripting? you have to reset the DBNPC for it to call "onCreated" on clientside

Not that I am doing something wrong but this would be very convient and you must reset an NPC for clientside onCreated() to be called 'again'
Dang it, Deas beat me to it!

You can silently update a level (server-side) using:

fileupdate("level.nw");

Perhaps that would satisfy your wants.

that doesn't even work like "update level"

Work's like uploading a level, probably need a path/to/level.nw

uh, clientside?
so how are your little idea supposed to work to prevent having to do "reset" on the dbnpc to call clientsided "onCreated"? i've confused myself

[fowlplay4]

The only way you're going be able to "reset" an npc is with sendtorc("/npc reset dbname") on the server-side, if you update the level, you'll update the client-side scripts as well.

I personally believe you should probably be doing something differently if you have to reset the NPC to get it working properly.

such as using it as a testnpc for a levelnpc? x)
i often use it when i do levelnpc instead of having to alter the level before ive made the script.. and then i put it in a class when im done.. is that different enuf for you?

I just put it in a class script to begin with and create, update and destroy instances of it as I please.
