i can't really understand your problem
your problem is with changing a value in the database ?
or your problem is that you want this to take effect without restarting the server ?
if you suffer from the first problem try the next piece of code i made it for the same reason
if you suffer from the second problem then i think you need to respawen all npcs again so he move to his new coords

well there is an advanced way to do that which it's used at the bluemouse quest which ill check now cuz i was working on something similar to that

if i found something useful ill edit this post
but tell me if your problem was the first case i mentioned above

#Moved to the right section

You're already moving it in the database

now you need to move them in the server memory


to do that just look up the npc in memory and update its location (alternatively just re-load all the npcs but that's a horrible way of handling it)

well i understood what do u mean or what do u want to do u would like to change the cords of the npc when sm1 click on it like ctf or blue mouse quest anyways its peice of cake .. first u should remove the npc from the clicker screen and any other players in the same screen distance .. then u should send npc spawn packet 2030 to every1 in the screen nearby the new npc cords then u should update this on the database so that when restarting server it become in the last location it was at and dont forget to add the npc in client's screen

okay i understand what u need to say
but if it peice of cake like u say
tell me cuz am beginner in .net
so tell me how i can remove the npc from the clicker screen and any other players in the same screen distance
or give me the path to be followed:handsdown:

well to be Honest as a beginer u cant do smthing like that cuz u are going too deep for these stuffs .. u need to know how things go inside the source then ask question about the concept

npc spawn packet 2030

try sending the same id with different coords and it should remove the old and show the new
but this is really poor way of doing it
personally i couldn't get to a decent way to get it done
and couldn't change it in memory then send a packet updating it's coords

cuz here
when you update it's coords now for players in the range , if you gone out range the back to the range it will be on the old coords which is in the memory which it got it from the database

im trying the method pro4never mentioned , didn't give it a try yet but personally i think it's the best way to get it done

thats y i said you should work on screen part with adding / removing npcs / entities

so you mean that everytime player try to access it you will send another 2030 packet with a "Fake location" then save this location to the database
not a proper way , right ?
