How do i talk to NPCs? Is it a script?

[Madelinesz]

I really have not figured out how to talk to npcs.  Also, how can i make a npc open a shop when talked to?  Get back to me soon pls.  ty

Under Sub ScriptedNPC

Find the case you set your  NPC to, make sure its set for scripted, then type out something.

If its case is 0 then it would look like this

```
Case 0
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Shopkeeper: Welcome to my store! :D", YELLOW)
Call GoShopping(Index, 1)

```
Feel free to put in your own message and the shop number (1 is the first shop ;o)

[Madelinesz]

Sorry but where do i find that?

[Soljah]

Within your Main.txt, under the sub "ScriptedNPC".

It is suggested you actually learn some scripting before you start trying to change things like this, otherwise you could mess something up.

To talk to an NPC just walk up and press Ctrl.

[Chakkra]

Ok, I don't think that she's worried about scripts at the moment.. Madeline, to talk to NPCs you must attack them by pressing CTRL. First, you must set their speech in the npc editor.

[Madelinesz]

Dosen't work..

[Fulou]

if NOTHING works, then you may find your main.txt is bugged, or youve lost connection to your server. where did you stick the code?

[Drag0n]

Put the code in here:
Sub ScriptedNPC(index, Script)
Case X
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Shopkeeper: Welcome to my store! ", BRIGHTRED)
Call GoShopping(Index, 1)

…Etc.
Change "X" variable to the last case +1.

[Madelinesz]

This is my main.txt for that section.  Also, does the CASE mean NPC ID?

Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)
Select Case Script
Case 6
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Shopkeeper: Welcome to my store! :D", YELLOW)
Call GoShopping(Index, 1)

[Drag0n]

In answer to question in shoutbox -  NPC's have to be SCRIPTED attribute.

[Fulou]

Where Case = 6, when creating the npc and you select scripted npc, make sure you move the scrollbar to 6!

if that doesnt work, try this :

Ctrl + F, search for **Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)**

Paste this into the line below  :
```
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "The Script is : " & Script, 15)
```
Let us know how you go.

[Madelinesz]

Tis what i got now

' Executes whenever a scripted NPC does an action.
Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)
Select Case Script
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "The Script is : " & Script, 15)

Case 6
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Shopkeeper: Welcome to the Alchemy Store!", BRIGHTRED)
Call GoShopping(Index, 1)

[Fulou]

Replace.

```
'.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.
Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)
'.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.:!:.
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "The Script is : " & Script, 15)

Select Case Script
Case 6
      Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Shopkeeper: Welcome to the Alchemy Store!", BRIGHTRED)
        Call GoShopping(Index, 1)
Case Else
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Oi, Mandelinesz, you haven't made your npc with the right script number", 4)
End select

End Sub
```

> "Everything that has a beginning has an end, Madelinesz ."

[Drag0n]

Lol, might need a End If, End Select, or End Sub in there. Forgot. xD

[Madelinesz]

What the hells with this NPC!  I attack it and nothing happens.  Jeesuss!

[Fulou]

Mad…

Rename your main.txt, put in a fresh one and replace the sub with the one i just posted, what happens?

for this to work, you will need:

PVC Glue
An empty washing up liquid bottle
Safety scissors

on a more serious note:
when editing the npc, it has to be scripted! with a script of 6!

[Fulou]

> Lol, might need a End If, End Select, or End Sub in there. Forgot. xD

Lol. I know that feeling.

[Madelinesz]

T_T im crying now.  This wont WORK!!!!!!

Here edit my whole Main.txt please.  I will shoot someone soon.

Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)
Select Case Script
Case 0
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "This scripted NPC has no apparent use.", WHITE)
Exit Sub

Case Else
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "No NPC script found. Please contact an admin to solve this problem.", WHITE)
Exit Sub
End Select
End Sub
