u said advanced actually u said a MORE advanced.. change the thread title ( or request a change ) to something like...

Learn how to create a NPC...from basic to advanced.. instead of advanced.

To even further "advance" your npcs instead of using Control and a ton of if statements you can do it this way.

 public static void Npc(byte OptionID, Game Client)
        {
            switch (OptionID)
            {
                case 0:
                    {
                     NPCEngine NPC = new NPCEngine();
                     NPC.Talk("Hello and this is a test NPC);
                     NPC. Options("Yes","No","Maybe");
                     NPC.Input("Players Name" , 15);
                     NPC.Controls(2);
                       
                        break;
                    }
                case 1:
                    {
                     NPCEngine NPC = new NPCEngine();
                     NPC.Talk("Thanks for talking to me i will leave you alone now:);
                     NPC.Options("Bye");

                     NPC.End(True);
                        break;
                    }
             default:
                    {
                     NPCEngine NPC = new NPCEngine();
                     NPC.End(true);
                        break;
                    }
            }
        }

That version of my NPC Engine used the lua scripts , the newer version is a completely new system for inter-graded and smarter and much smoother npcs. Also movable npc's that can walk around that are spawn as an entity , can wear weapons and fight back. Tho i haven't wrote that part of the NPC Engine yet i hope this gives people some advise on there server npc scripting.

i dont know anything about lua scripts lol :S
any chance you can help with the namespace definitions for it?
or anyone that can help with this?
I am looking at some lua stuff now but too tired and not reli making much sense lmao

[ImFlamedCOD]

i know i was just saying there are better ways to do npc's. The way 5165 does is not good, as stated there are exploits in them. But yea lua, or custom engine works nicely or case statements.

[ftp4life]

okay i have put everything in the right place well i followed each step from u and nothing is happening im getting like errors saying that the npc number is invalid when im in the game

[.Beatz]

have you changed the NPC case number? you will need to change the case number and make the number the same in NPC.txt
if you got anymore problems post your code and the NPC from NPC.txt here and i will see whats wrong with it

Hey. I have a request.
I've been trying to figure this out with no success.

I want to make an NPC that talks to you, then if the character chooses a link...
the link opens the armor shop in Twin City.
Help? x_x

Oh, sorry- I didn't remember that I posted that. No- I was able to figure that out on my own by downloading the original source and replacing the first line. The NPC ID wasn't matching up is all.

Here are the problems I'd love for someone to help me with. They're very advanced though:

1. I still can't make it open a chat window and then go to the shop if you say "I'd like to buy something". When I say shop I mean like the Armor Shop.

2. I would like to make an NPC that disappears when you talk to it.

Atually your (2nd) question well that atually that would be a nice because in the npc dialog you could out like

#region SteedRace Back
                            case 987853:
                                {
                                    if (Control == 0)
                                    {
if (World.dmV2 = true)
[COLOR=Red]me.Visable = true[/COLOR]
                                        GC.AddSend(Packets.NPCSay("Do you want to get your reward and to leave here ?"));
                                        GC.AddSend(Packets.NPCLink("Yes.", 1));
                                        GC.AddSend(Packets.NPCLink("No.", 1));
                                        GC.AddSend(Packets.NPCSetFace(N.Avatar));
                                        GC.AddSend(Packets.NPCFinish());
                                    }
                                    if (Control == 1)
                                    {
                                        Game.World.SendMsgToAll("Server", ""+ GC.MyChar.Name + " has finished the steed race and won 200cps", 2011, 0);
                                        GC.MyChar.CPs = +200;
                                        GC.MyChar.Teleport(1002, 431, 379);
                                        GC.MyChar.StatEff.Remove(NewestCOServer.Game.StatusEffectEn.Ride);
                                    }
else
{
[COLOR=Red]Me.Visable = false[/COLOR]
                                    break;
                                }
                            #endregion

Well that WOULD be the code but whats marked in red WILL NOT WORK xP

Ok for the first question this will be very hard to write for all players as many players dont speak 100% english ad certainly dont spell in english. So to make this would need to make several variations of words and sentences before you even think about it. I would help you do this but i just think its too much hassle for what its worth. Yer maybe 1 day i will give it ago but cba to sit here for days writing words differently lol.

For the second question i will get to work on it when i wake up
But i think the easiest way to achieve that is to use a Lua Interface. I am still leanring Lua so please dont ask any questions about it lol
