LUA Movement Script example

[ZexisStryfe]

Sometime this weekend I'll try to get a spawnscript tutorial out here incase you guys need some help with it.

Knowing how to script NPC paths would be awesome Scat...

Generically? or a set path? I have a script I wrote to make NPCs move around the area they spawn but since there is no collison detection it's possible they can walk through walls/trees/etc heh.

Movement:

Code: Select all

function spawn(NPC)
	--Syntax is NPC, x, y, z, speed, delay (in seconds)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, 21.09, -5.30, 161.75, 3, 10)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, 21.18, -5.28, 144.12, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, 16.59, -5.27, 133.36, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, 10.50, -5.24, 114.47, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, 6.95, -5.22, 103.47, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -25.22, -5.10, 100.19, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -52.38, -5.79, 108.30, 3, 30)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -55.46, -4.91, 131.16, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -46.75, -5.04, 157.32, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -23.70, -5.12, 176.13, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -9.30, -5.20, 186.68, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -21.30, -5.41, 217.11, 3, 30)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, -7.47, -5.21, 188.38, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, 1.16, -5.22, 181.35, 3, 0)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, 12.73, -5.26, 172.09, 3, 0)
end

function respawn(NPC)
	spawn(NPC)
end

function hailed(NPC, Spawn)
	FaceTarget(NPC, Spawn)
	Emote(NPC, "glares at you.")
	Say(NPC, "Yes, I'm busy. Hurry up now, what is it?")
end

This is the script to make the guard walk in a circle throughout Queen's Colony.
