/reset npc NAME

[MrOmega]

It would be nice if you could reset DbNPC's via script

with a NPC.reset();

or if you could do

sendToRc( "/reset npc" @ NPC);

Why?

[MrOmega]

I have certain scripting needs...

Explain. You're probably doing it wrong if you require this.

I'm using an NPC as a main plot point for my server. It goes to another room and some vars change. Both client and server sides. My current work around is a lot parts of the script setting all the vars back to what they were when I created the NPC, (warpto() and all that) it just be a lot easier if I could just reset the NPC via script. This is more so for convenience.

when you're doing a levelnpc in a DBNPC for easier testing, you often have to reset it because of clientside scripting to make the function "onCreated" to be called, therefor, i agree with this idea.

You should just set variables in an init function.

[MrOmega]

Yeah but the convenience of .reset() seems more practical.

You can store all your variables in a new object..

Like this.state = new TStaticVar();

Then declare all the variables as such:

this.state.health = 10;

Then when you need to clear all the variables, you can do:

this.state = null;

and then simply initialize it again.

And also entirely destructive :monocle: Just save your important variables in an easy-to-destroy TStaticVar, or find a way to do what you are doing without constantly having to reset it.

That's what I'm currently doing. I'd just like a command to do it via script.

make a utlity class, and join it to the npc, now all the npcs you want to have the reset function will have it.

How would thaty reseting a NPC like when reseting via RC?

[Cubical]

onRCChat()
in the Control-NPC then you can do /npc reset whatever

[MrOmega]

O_o I have to try this tomorrow, never heard of it.
