I'm having an issue with one of the script functions.

Specifically, navigateTo()

As shown in the Javadock,

navigateTo(double x, double y, double z, double speed)

I'm attempting to make the NPC move to a specific location upon their spawn, and the following works (called in Init):

npc.navigateTo(npc.x+10, npc.y, npc.z, 0.7);

This causes my npc to move 10 blocks in the X direction, attempting to maintain the name y and z coordinates. The code works fine, but I want my NPC to go somewhere specific. So the following code should, in theory, move the NPC to x of 0, and z of 0, while maintaining their y coordinate:

npc.navigateTo(0, npc.y, 0, 0.7);

However, when the NPC spawns with this code block, they do not move. I have tried using a number of coordinate combinations, some negative and others with decimal places, but I cannot get the NPC to navigate to specific preset coordinates. Am I doing something wrong here?

Noppes, you mentioned in your update video that it is possible to make npcs give tours of areas and such. How would one script this? (Cause i am utterly clueless) Also, how do you make an npc a follower after just normal dialogue, without having to pay them anything, or that not possible as of yet? And can you give items to npcs after they become your followers? Sorry for alot of questions lol, but I'm having a birthday soon and I'm making a huge adventure map highliting your mod, and am wanting to show my friends the cool stuff you can do with it.

I also really appreciate you being here on the forums with your fans, and helping us out:) Your truly awesome, and thanks again!

npc.size = 3;
npc.setTempData("ticks", 0);

var x = npc.blockX;
var z = npc.blockZ;

if(x == -319 && z == -1357){
 npc.say("Don't touch me");
 npc.setHome(-309, 35, -1366);
}
else if(x == -309 && z == -1366){
 npc.say("No stop it!");
 npc.setHome(-323, 35, -1362);
}
else if(x == -323 && z == -1362){
 npc.say("Arg go away!!");
 npc.setHome(-316, 35, -1372);
}
else if(x == -316 && z == -1372){
 npc.say("Leave me alone already");
 npc.setHome(-308, 35, -1357);
}
else if(x == -308 && z == -1357){
 npc.size = 7;
 npc.say("ENOUGH!");
 player.knockback(20, player.rotation);
}

if(npc.size == 7){
 var ticks = parseInt(npc.getTempData("ticks"));
 if(ticks < 3){
  npc.setTempData("ticks", ticks + 1);
 }
 else{
  npc.setHome(-319, 35, -1357);
  npc.size = 3;
 }
}

No that seems fine. It might just be that it's too far away from its current point making it impossible to navigate that far.. You could try npc.setHome(0, npc.getBlockY(),0)

Quote from Darnoken»

Yea it must have been too far away. Changed coordinates to a closer place, and that worked. What's the maximum range on a command like this?

I don't like your idea of "Companions".
Seriously,as for Companions I was hoping something like in Dragon Age,where you had all those characters and you could talk with them,equip them or even train them...
But you think of Companions like they are Digimons!
Come on!

I've read it with more attention, and I understand you wanted to make "sons".

But Sons and Companions are two different things!
How about making "Son" as a role and "Companion" as another?

My idea of Companion is:

-You can set all the things as for normal Npc's except for the Inventory,as they gain advantage by the stuff you give to them.

-You can give them orders to attack only certain factions,monsters or Custom Npc's.

-You have to feed them,but you can set their food.

-Maybe...Level Up? Give them certain statistics for each Level Up,and setting the Experience they need to do so...

So please,don't mix Companions with Pets/Sons.

But I like your idea too! Someone could make a Digimon story out of it or a Monster Pet game! =D

Where are the crafting recipes for NPC weapons and armor?

i'm doing a survival thing and i needed it

Quote from Darnoken»

How would I freeze an NPC in place, and make it so it has no movement animations?

I thought the feature "Has Living Animation" would accomplish this (or at least, would remove the movements), but it doesn't seem to do anything.

EDIT: While I'm here... is there a script command to spawn an NPC?

Quote from GreatOrator»

Have a quick idea if this is possible.

Could you add an item that could be used by mapmakers that would make it possible to create an NPC then turn it into a spawn egg of some kind so they could be given out for things like a portable shop or bank they could carry around or buy and place at their base?

int variableOne = 0;

Quote from Darnoken»

I feel quite needy today lol...

Attempting to declare variables in the Init section, so I can use them in other sections.

Example:

 
int variableOne = 0;

This returns the error "identifier is a reserved word". Can I not declare variables, or am I doing it wrong?

Quote from GreatOrator»

Ok, so one last thing then. I have noticed peculiar interactions between your mod and certain others. It is not a bug on your part whatsoever, but in your next update can you code your npcs in a way so that they cannot be captured by other mobs items? safari net from mfr or the lasso from extra utilities comes to top of mind?



I believe with the EU lasso it just simply check for passive mobs only to determine their capture ability.

Init Script:

var variableOne = 0; //if I don't include this, I get an error saying "variableOne is not defined" when I use it below

npc.setTempData(variableOne,0);

 

Interact Script:

var x = npc.getTempData(variableOne);

Okay I was trying to create variables with Java and not Javascript; var is working for declaration of variables. However, I cannot seem to get variables to cross between scripts.

I used the following:

 
Init Script:

var variableOne = 0; //if I don't include this, I get an error saying "variableOne is not defined" when I use it below

npc.setTempData(variableOne,0);

 

Interact Script:

var x = npc.getTempData(variableOne);

With this code, I get an error in the interact script saying "variableOne is not defined".

Quote from Noppes»

Did you read the api? setTempData and getTempData use a string as key. Remove the var variableOne and make a string out of the other two.

Hello sir Noppes, I was wondering, with the Soul Stones can you implement a setting so we can designate whether or not an npc can be captured with a soul stone and have it default to no? that way by default random players cant just pick up any old npc and move them? But for quests they can capture certain spawned npcs (say a fairy) and bring them back.

Also is there any progress on the following 2 things - Hovering/flying ai and the ability to make custom NPC pokemon trainers you can battle? Not satisfied with pixelmon's skin system or their trainers and my cries fall on deaf ears lol.
