Looping over NPCs

[Bluefeather42]

...Okay, I promise I will stop trying to code after 9 PM, for real this time. Thanks again James, that fixed everything.

Code: Select all

script, critterloop, begin

	variable (ref, next ref)
	ref := Next NPC Reference()
	while (ref) do(
		next ref := Next NPC Reference(ref)
		if(get NPC Pool(ref) == pool:global) then (
			critterbrain (ref)
		)
		ref := next ref
	)
	 
end

# Check whether critters can see the hero
script, critterbrain, ref, begin
	variable (npcSl, FV, RV)	
	
	npcSl := get NPC Slice(ref)

	switch (get NPC ID(ref)) do (
		case (critter:shadowdude) do (
			FV := 6
			RV := 3
			if (check line of sight (NPC X(ref), NPC Y(ref), hero X(me), hero Y(me), NPC Direction(ref), FV, RV)) then (
				change NPC ID (ref, critter:shadowdudeangry, pool:global)
			)
		)
	)
end

shadowdudeangry is set to "Chase Hero", so the script triggers with the appropriate behavior.

Wonderful! I am glad it worked
