Solved NPC setup

[acer777]

lol been asking alot of question >.< but only way i will learn but now this is really gettin on my nerve's ive been trying to add in a new npc, ive put it in the npc.txt and also the script in the NPC_def folder name of the npc is TEST and the map is 0125 script name is TEST-0125. Thing that im getting stuck on is that every time i click on the npc the npc says NPC: error no castle found i have no idea as just started these files today help would be great thanks.

I generally stick to putting my npc's inside Merchant_def (Allows you to use short named text files and choice of npc name). Anyways could you post your script and what u put inside NPC.txt

what are you trying to do with this TEST npc ? make a new castle?

Seeing as the npc shows up ingame, and displays an error when you click it, it's obviously a script error. Therefore we can't help you until you post the script.

[@main]
<click here/@c1>\ \ \
<Colour/FCOLOR=5>\ \
<Exit/@Exit>\

[@c1]
LINEMSG 0 "hello there <$USERNAME> from <$GUILDNAME>"
BREAK

basically just got the files and trying to see if the npc will talk like a player and actually say the users name and guild name etc. i think ill just move it to merchant npc as that seems easier idea but what does the ftile/btile actually do as i think im doing something wrong in there (npcs.txt) thanks

Don't forget your #SAY and #ACT statements for a start.

[@main]
#SAY
<click here/@c1>\ \ \
<Colour/FCOLOR=5>\ \
<Exit/@Exit>\

[@c1]
#IF
#ACT
LINEMSG 0 "hello there <$USERNAME> from <$GUILDNAME>"
BREAK

hmm could be ill test now but on ruby didnt need to use #SAY on @main but diff files so ill test now n post bak.

Nope still does the same thing, im pretty sure its something to do with the f/btile thingy in npcs.txt what numbers should they be for a npc i wont to create got them set to 0 8 atm.
