A few quick questions

[Howdy]

Hey, I've just started out using eclipse again and I'm making a game for me and some friends to just play around on, and I have a few questions.

* Is it possible to change the Max Length of what a friendly NPC can say when you hit CTRL over them?
* Is it possible to make an item which when double clicked can warp you to somewhere?
* Is it possible to make an NPC stand still on one spot?

Thanks a lot, any help will be appreciated.

Hello and welcome to eclipse, Howdy ;)

First of all
1: I am not so sure about this, you could have it scripted to say multiple messages though
2\. Scripted definitely :)
3\. Yes, when you put the NPC in define his X and Y (e.g 5, 5) then put NPC Avoids all around him
:)

Thanks for helping.

How would I go about scripting the NPC to say multiple messages?

[Owen F]

Go to Server/Scripts/ open Main.txt
Ctrl+f (find) ScriptedNPC
replace case 0 with
```
Case 0
Call PlayerMsg(index,"your message here",0)
Call PlayerMsg(index,"your message here",0)
'Etc, etc.
Exit Sub

```First of all edit the 'Your Message Here' parts
get rid of the 'etc. etc part
Put a new Call PlayerMsg(index,"",0) For each message :) (make sure it is BEFORE THE EXIT SUB)
then go make a new npc, set its behaviour to scripted,
put the bar on 0
make all of his stats at least 1, then save.
Now put him on a map and when you press ctrl all your messages will pop up

Thanks a lot :).

If I am correct I can do the same with Case 1,2,3 etc. for different NPC's?

[Owen F]

indeed you can :)

[Howdy]

I have done what you said, but when I press CTRL on my NPC no messages are sent through. Did I do anything wrong?
I have restarted the server also and it still doesn't work.

Did you input the code exactly as INH wait OWEN fox did? Becuase you have to tab in the lines.

[Howdy]

Here's a picture of exactly how my code is:

[Patrick]

I think the exit sub should be back a tab.

[Howdy]

I did that and it still does not work. :/

[Howdy]

Please can anyone help with this, it's one of the only things left to do in my game, also, signs do not work either.

[Owen F]

Just use this one
```
Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)
Select Case Script
Case 0
Call PlayerMsg(Index,"Welcome to Howdy's",0)
Call PlayerMsg(index,"Please follow on down these stairs to meet the next tutorial NPC",0)
Exit Sub

```Signs require enter to read, not control. If you want, you can just use the notice attribute in front of a sign as a makeshift one, if it still does not work.
Hope i helped.

Make sure your scripted NPC is using script0.
Make sure you give your NPC stats (str, def, health, etc) higher then 0.

Check your server's control panel, make sure it says Scripts: ON

Scripted Teleportation Item:
Sub ScriptedItems(index)
```
Case 0
Call PlayerWarp(index, X, Y, MAP)
Call PlayerMsg(index, "you have been warped to"& GetMapName(GetPlayerMap(index))&"!", BRIGHTGREEN)

```Replace the X with the x coordinate of the map u want to be warped to, Replace the Y with the y coordinate, and replace the MAP with the map #, Note, if that works, after u teleport, it will desplay a message telling u u got warped to: and then the Map Name.
