Help Please Removing NPC, sort of

[karnyge]

The title is not entire accurate but it works lol

Db - Chaos/MortalQueen
Issue - I want to remove the voting NPC without totally deleting it.

Basically, how do i remove an NPC from the game without totally deleting it from the Db? I want to be able to re-use it if i choose to. But for now i want it not visible in the game.
I guess what I am actually asking is how do i hide it?

Thanx will be given to the right advice!!
FIRST QUESTION DEALT WITH, THANK YOU.
ADDITION -

I tried finding an NPC i have that is totally untranslated by name, location co-ordinates, task0, actions, etc. When I have tried all of these methods is there another way i can find it in the Db without removing all the NPC's in that map and returning them one at a time?
This is unconnected to the previous question.

just change the map id to 100 of the npc. This will put them in the npc camp. If you wish to re-use it then you just change it back to map id 1000 or whatever map and coords you like

hey no_1 long time no see wheres no_3?

karnyge another thing to do maybe would be to leave the npc and just change the action to words only instead of adding the redirect ... ie:

how are you normaly you could vote here but right now I want cookies

or anything else

Nice idea idle, but theres way too many of them. Remova/hidel seemed the better option.

You got thanked because its actually a good idea.

The first question is answered, quite well i think. So...........
Any ideas on the other issue, anyone?

**** ya good!! It was in that table, wrong name but the coords etc were right so i npccamped it, reset the server and BINGO it gone.


Both issues resolved. Thank you. Request closure.

lol yeah, btw you still can move the npc from cq_dynanpc without need to restart your server

of course you can but i require you to know how to move an npc with actions

8442423	8442424	0	301	1943	100 120 120

for example this code this action will move the npc with id 1943 to the npc camp.
So just type ingame command /processaction 8442423
