Make NPCs give players items?

[seppie]

Hey. I'm still pretty new to EO, for those who've seen me around. :D

Anyway… Is it possible to make an NPC give a player an item? I wanna make it so one NPC will give you (the player) a sword, and another will give you a shield, and so forth... If you're familiar with RPG Maker, it would be similar to an event.

Thanks in advance!

Bump? I'd really like to know, if this is possible, how it can be done.

Yes, it is possible with VB6\. If you don't want to use VB6, you could set up a shop NPC that gives a person an item for a low cost, or for free.

I'd like the NPC to give them the item only once. Is there a specific code for this or would I have to learn programming and do it myself?

I've been wondering about this as well.

Do you mean when somebody register in your game, they will automatically receive an item?

Play around with server/data/classes.ini .

You will see something like

> StartItemCount=
> StartItem1=1
> StartValue1=1
> StartItem2=2
> StartValue2=1

i think he means like (example) you enter a town, and there is a duneon… but you need a key to key in.
you talk to one of the guys in town and he gives it to you, download VB6 and look at the scripting tutorials and search.

I think this…
```
StartItemCount=
StartItem1=1
StartValue1=1
StartItem2=2
StartValue2=1
```Is what I'm looking for.

Also, I'd like to know what quintensky said too. For example, there is a locked door. You need to find the owner of the house and get the key from him.Just an example.

that just give the player those items on first login, a NPC doesn't give them you the player :(

Would it be possible to use Alatar's Quest System in such a way?

Try using that. It's a tutorial for scripted NPC's in EO. It's what I always use. But it can slow your game down a little bit.

If you're using scripted NPC's the code will have to be something like this if I'm correct:

```
Call PlayerMsg(attacker,  Take this item:", White)
GiveInvItem(attacker, itemid, itemamount)
```

(Probably heard this before) but I'm not very good at programming. I honestly haven't done a single shred. Is there a tutorial or a guide that will teach me how to program while giving me some things to program in?

Look up VB6 Tutorials?
