NPC's

[tstre]

I need help!
Ok, so I deleted my whole server, but whenever I click on the NPC's folder, my RC disconnects. I cannot click on the npcs folder to delete them! That's the only things left on the server, and it's NPC's such as "npcs/npclocalnpc". I have to delete them 1 by 1 on client RC. Is there any type of script I can use to delete them fully? Without deleting them manually (1 by 1), Thanks!

Not really. You can't modify that folder via scripts serverside, and clientside you'd have to use client-RC stuff which is typically for privileged scripts only, I think.

Did you try using findNPC to find each of the local DB NPCs and then calling destroy() on them?

Alternatively you could give yourself partial folder rights like "rw npcs/localnpca*" and then "localnpcb" etc (doing this intelligently if a lot of them start with the same few characters).

Mind giving me a script real quick?

To call destroy() on them, simply do:

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
  findNPC("InsertNameHere").destroy(); 


If that's what you were asking for. Nothing else to provide anyway though.

Didn't work, I used

function onCreated()
findNPC("npcs/localnpc").destroy();

(In the Control-NPC).

Try this. I can't guarantee it'll work if the levels have been deleted.

PHP Code:

// put this in a DB NPC
// DO NOT RUN THIS ON A SERVER WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO DELETE ALL NPCS
function onCreated() {
  temp.folder.loadFolder("npcs/npclocalnpc*", false);
  
  for (temp.file : temp.folder) {
    temp.fileName = removeEscapesFromFileName(temp.file);
    temp.fileName = temp.fileName.substring(3, temp.fileName.length() - 7);
    
    temp.npc = findNPC(temp.fileName);
    temp.npc.destroy();
  }
}

This should go through a kill everything.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  maxlooplimit = 100000;
  temp.lvls.loadfolder("levels/*.nw", 1);
  for (temp.lvl: temp.lvls) {
    temp.npcs = findlevel(temp.lvl).npcs;
    for (temp.npc: temp.npcs) {
      temp.npc.destroy();
    }
  }
  echo("EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DESTROYED");
} 


Then you'll have to clearnpcs manually for your gmaps. I.e.

/clearnpcs yourworld.gmap

So I should readd the levels first and then try the script?
