Signal another NPC

[Gangrenous]

I know I asked this before but I cannot find the post after multiple searches. I need to signal another NPC. How would I go about doing that? So basically I was to tell NPC one to send a signal to NPC two. Once NPC two gets the signal I want it to react. What I am attempting to do, and someone may have a better idea of how to do it, is to record the spell effects.

You can get pointers to other spawns with the various GetSpawn functions and then use that pointer to do whatever you want for example

Code: Select all

function hailed(NPC, Spawn)
    spawn2 = GetSpawn(Spawn, 1234) -- Get the closest spawn with a DB ID of 1234
    -- make sure pointer is valid before using
    if spawn2 ~= nil then
        Attack(spawn2, Spawn) -- Have spawn2 attack the player
    end
end

As you are talking about spell effects you might also want to look at the casted_on function that is triggered on a spawn every time a spell or entity command is used on them.

Holy crap that worked.
