If an NPC has a coordinate of X in pixels of 219, what TILE would the command NPCX(who) return?

Anyone heard of a command that returns the frame number of an NPC?

Thanks,

To obtain tiles from pixels, divide by 20 trucating (which is the only sort of dividing that plotscripting does). So 219 pixels will in located in tile 10.

I've looked for it before, and there is no command to return neither npc nor hero frame number.

219 divided by 20 is 10.95, so wouldn't it round up to 11?

Also, bonus points if anyone can answer this: The X-coordinate (in pixels) of 20 corresponds to the very end of tile 1. So, if one wants to place an NPC in the middle of a tile 1, should he/she use to X-coordinate of 10? When one types "put NPC (2,10,0)," what part of the NPC is put at "10"? (the middle, the right end, the left end).

Thanks!

trucating means that the decimal is ignored altogether, so there is not rounding up... meaning it's 10 tiles

if someone puts in the command "putNPC(2,10,0)"
none of the NPC will be in tileX 10.
remember, putNPC uses pixel arguements, not tiles.

to put the NPC half way between tileX 10 and 11, it should look something like this:

Thanks for the explanation of trucating; I never heard of that....

I know "put NPC" uses pixel arguments, and I was not trying to put the NPC between tile's 10 & 11. From what you said, I take it that the "put NPC" command places the left-most corner of the NPC at the pixel indicated. If I am wrong, please let me know. Otherwise, thanks a lot Flamer!

Thanks,
