If Click NPC Then…?

[NextEraGaming]

Hey I wanted to know how I would go about making an event that happens if you click an NPC.
Skimmed through modDirectDraw7 and saw a couple of references…I think.
Any Pointers?

By Click im guessing you mean by hitting CRTL on them, if you do then, you should add Scripted NPC's to your project. It will let you make your own commands for an NPC. http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,68426.0.html

He don't mean attacking but clicking, else he would say that. ;)
And I'm also looking for that for NPC Profiles

In order to script the NPC I would have to know how to code the actual event. Thanks for the suggestion though!

By using the NPC Speech system dude. I have some intermediate knowledge of VB…just don't know how robin coded his engine to handle such an event. No real need for Scripted NPCs if I can utilize the Speech systems way of making a window pop up. Would be pretty inefficient if I had to code each and every NPC to react when I click it.

Make sense?

If the NPC does not move, find ur npcs coordinate. then, go to your client and in picscreen_mousedown (thats basicly when you click anything on the picscreen (which is like the map). You then just do If x=, y= then
this means that if the npc clicks a certain tile, the script will launch. so if u have an npc on that tile, the script will launch by clicking the npc.

i wont post the code out since ur an intermediate vb coder u should be able to do the rest urself.

hope this helps :)
