Author	Topic: NPC release to talk to an other NPC
gcmaxxon Warrior Member # 2796	written Tuesday, September 13 2005 05:25 Profile #0 Hi, Does anyone have any ideals about the coding for taking a NPC that is currently in my party, release that NPC and then have him go and talk to an other NPC? Since the new scenario I'm working on is based on a singleton, I need NPC's to do some of the work for me. BTW, another reason for the NPC's doing some of the work because my "Lone Wolf" character is starting out as a level one priest with just the opening cloths on his back. Thanks in advance for any help. gcmaxxon -------------------- quote: " He loved maps, and in his hall there hung a large one of the Country Round with all his favourite walks marked on it in red ink." ---The Hobbit pg21 Posts: 97 \| Registered: Wednesday, March 19 2003 08:00

Actual talking dialog would be nearly impossible if it's supposed to be two NPC's talking. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

I think this is indeed best, but if its not to long, make a complete cutscene. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Master Xan Apprentice Member # 4423	written Thursday, September 15 2005 07:16 Profile #5 You could make dialog between NPCs... kinda like your character is an observer, watching the other two converse. If your character isn't in the same area, just have the NPC "report back" on the conversation when he sees your character again. Although the cutscene certainly would be flashier... -------------------- "When your teacher needs a calculator to add up how many you missed more than you need a calculator to take a calc test, that's bad."

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Thursday, September 15 2005 07:20 Profile Homepage #6 I think the cutscene would be much better. And how about having your character not see it? And not even have it reported? It would build up tension, and could even be used as a kind of plot device - imagine your ally yourslef with someone who's working with the bad guys... -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?
