Simple.
| Quote: | include, plotscr.hsd
define script(1,npcswalkdown,1,0)
script, npcswalkdown, npcid, begin #Where npcid is the id of the npc you're trying to move
walk npc(npcid,south,2)
end
|
When you edit NPCs for a map, you can see two slots labeled Run Script and NPC variable. For a script like this, you'd just put the script above into the Run Script slot and the ID of the NPC into the NPC variables to make the script work.

It's labeled as "NPC argument," I believe.

|
|
If you want to have one script you can use to always make a NPC walk down 2 spaces, -no matter- what NPC it is, use this script (CAUTION: UNTESTED)
use your own number for the script number.
| Code: |
define script(1500,2stepnpc,none)
script, 2 step npc, begin
if (hero direction == north) then ( walknpc(npcatspot(herox,heroy--1), south, 2 )
if (hero direction == south) then ( walknpc(npcatspot(herox,heroy +1), south, 2 )
if (hero direction == east) then ( walknpc(npcatspot(herox+1,heroy), south, 2 )
if (hero direction == west) then ( walknpc(npcatspot(herox --1,heroy), south, 2 )
end
|
As I've said, untested, but I'm pretty sure that should work.
Have it be the script called when the player uses the NPC. |

Serg: Do you have NPC 1 with NPC argument set to 1, NPC 2 with argument 2, and NPC 3 with argument 3? Because, if you do, the script that Sephyroth gave should work. Just make sure you get the arguments set in there correctly.
Also, Fyre's script should work, i can't see anything wrong with it (but I haven't tested it, of course), but I would try to get the argument one to work, as knowing how to use arguments well can be a great asset in scripting.

|
|
| Code: |
define script(1,npcswalkdown,2,0,0)
script, npcswalkdown, arg, reference, begin
walk npc(reference,south,2)
end
|
A very cool thing, that should be better documented than it is (it's burried in the FAQ somewhere) is the fact tha5t any NPC-activated script automatically passes an NPC reference to the triggering NPC as the *second* argument, so you can make this script work without even having to set the NPC's "script argument" value to anything at all.
(Notice the presence of the useless "arg" placeholder argument. That is just there because you can't give a name to the second argument unless you give a name to the first argument too)
Ah, here we go. It is in the Plot Script Tutor, not in the FAQ. http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/plotscripttutor.html#triggering |

Ah, you missed a closing bracket there Fyre:
if (hero direction == north) then ( walknpc(npcatspot(herox,heroy--1), south, 2 )
should be
if (hero direction == north) then (walknpc(npcatspot(herox,heroy--1), south, 2 ))
etc.
