Advanced Npc's - Revised:
Tested on Both 3.03 and MSE Build1! Works on both :P
Coding Difficulty - 2/5
Understanding Difficulty - 4/5 (only if you don't know where stuff goes)
Part1:
Ok, re-did what i had done from scratch. I had done a large part of the
code but i found a very big bug in the very foundation of the whole
thing. This meant i either started again or un-did a lot of my work.
I started again and decided to get rid of some of the original Npc stuff (such as drop item, etc.) you'll see what later.
Anyway, im gonna make it less long winded and just give you the code,
coz i can't be bothered being vague at the moment. Any n00b should get
this, copy and paste, pretty much.
Features:
Npc Inventory and eqiupable items.
Last time the inventory was equiped, now there are four equiped items
and 5 dropped items. The npc does not drop his equipment (unless you
make the first 4 inv slots the same as his equipment)
Drops their inventory when they die.
Drop only their inventory, not equiped items.
Choosing how often the NPC walks (from almost always to never (good for shop keepers and hard bosses))
No change
Allows them to attack certain players no matter what (unless there dead oO) (ie, pkers and those of a different class)
No change
And, in part 3 i will post how to make npc's use Spells! this is
probably the biggest code i've ever embarked on, so dont hate me
if i dont post it for a while =3
No Change
And of course... the spell frequency!
No Change
Code:
Client and Server:
Code:
Public Const MAX_NPC_INV = 5
Public Const MAX_NPC_SPELLS = 5
|
|
|
Code:
Type NpcInvRec
Num As Byte
Value As Long
dur As Integer
End Type
Type NpcSpellRec
Num As Byte
Freq As Long
End Type
Type NpcRec
'original
name As String * NAME_LENGTH
Sprite As Integer
SpawnSecs As Long
Range As Byte
STR As Byte
DEF As Byte
SPEED As Byte
MAGI As Byte
Behavior As Byte
'kite's advanced
WeaponNum As Byte
ShieldNum As Byte
HelmetNum As Byte
ArmorNum As Byte
WalkFreq As Long
PKPref As Boolean
ClassPref As Long
Inv(1 To MAX_NPC_INV) As NpcInvRec
Spell(1 To MAX_NPC_SPELLS) As NpcSpellRec
End Type
|
|
|
Code:
Public NpcInv(1 To MAX_NPC_INV) As NpcInvRec
Public NpcSpell(1 To MAX_NPC_SPELLS) As NpcSpellRec
|
|

Client:
Items:
Form: frmNpcEditor.
Delete:
All the drop item pieces.
npcSay piece.
add:
(name/type : caption/text/min|max)
scrlWeapon : 0|255
lblWeapon: 0
scrlShield : 0|255
lblWeapon : 0
scrlHelmet : 0|255
lblHelmet : 0
scrlArmor : 0|255
lblArmor : 0
have as many inventory slots as you have:
scrlInv(slotnum)Num : 0|255
lblInv(slotnum)Num : 0
scrlInv(slotnum)Val : 0|255
lblInv(slotnum)Val : 0
scrlWalkFreq : 0|4
lblWalkFreq : 0
optPkPref : False
optClassPref : False
scrlClassPref : 0|(you max classes)
lblClassPref : 0
Have as many spell slots you have:
scrlSpell(slotnum)Num : 0|255
lblSpell(slotNum)Num : 0
scrllSpell(slotnum)Freq : 0|255
lblSpell(slotnum_Freq : 0
Anyway, it should end up something like this:
DoubleClick anywhere on the form or just click the script button. This is the entire forms code:
Code:

Ok, now to fix some of the packets we fu... screwed smile
So, we'll have them in this order (because its neat):
Number
Name
Sprite
Spawnsecs
behavior
range
str
def
speed
magi
weaponnum
shieldnum
helmetnum
armornum
walkfreq
pkpref
classpref
inv
spells
smile
so find:
SAVENPC
and change the whole sub to look like this:
Code:
Sub SendSaveNpc(ByVal NpcNum As Long)
Dim Packet As String
Packet = "SAVENPC" & SEP_CHAR & NpcNum &
SEP_CHAR & Trim(Npc(NpcNum).name) & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).Sprite & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).SpawnSecs &
SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).Behavior & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).Range & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).STR & SEP_CHAR
& Npc(NpcNum).DEF & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).SPEED &
SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).MAGI & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).WeaponNum & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).ShieldNum &
SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).HelmetNum & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).ArmorNum & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).WalkFreq &
SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).PKPref & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).ClassPref & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).Inv(1).Num &
SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).Inv(2).Num & SEP_CHAR &

Packet = Packet & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).Spell(4).Num & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).Spell(5).Num
& SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).Spell(1).Freq & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).Spell(2).Freq & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).Spell(3).Freq & SEP_CHAR &
Npc(NpcNum).Spell(4).Freq & SEP_CHAR &

Now go around, any of the old npc parts flying around, delete them and add in the new npc parts.
you should be able to do that yourself. i don't want to spoon feed you all the way!!!
Now, we move on to some of the actual parts that matter (the bits that do stuff :))
find:
' Drop the goods if they get it
and change it to:
Code:
Dim m As Long, n As Long, o As Long, p As Long, q As Long, r As Long, s As Long
Dim t As Long, w As Long, q As Long
& ;nbs p; & ;nbs p; & ;nbs p;
' Drop the goods if they get it
m = Npc(NpcNum).Inv(1).Num
n = Npc(NpcNum).Inv(2).Num
o = Npc(NpcNum).Inv(3).Num
p = Npc(NpcNum).Inv(4).Num
q = Npc(NpcNum).Inv(5).Num
If m > 0 Then
& ;nbs p; Call
SpawnItem(Npc(NpcNum).Inv(1).Num, Npc(NpcNum).Inv(1).Value, MapNum,
MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).x, MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).y)
End If
If n > 0 Then
& ;nbs p; Call
SpawnItem(Npc(NpcNum).Inv(2).Num, Npc(NpcNum).Inv(2).Value, MapNum,
MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).x, MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).y)
End If
If o > 0 Then
& ;nbs p; Call
SpawnItem(Npc(NpcNum).Inv(3).Num, Npc(NpcNum).Inv(3).Value, MapNum,
MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).x, MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).y)
End If
If p > 0 Then
& ;nbs p; Call
SpawnItem(Npc(NpcNum).Inv(4).Num, Npc(NpcNum).Inv(4).Value, MapNum,
MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).x, MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).y)
End If
If q > 0 Then
& ;nbs p; Call
SpawnItem(Npc(NpcNum).Inv(5).Num, Npc(NpcNum).Inv(5).Value, MapNum,
MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).x, MapNpc(MapNum, MapNpcNum).y)
End If

Now, im sure your wondering why i took the long winded route for the
inv and spells (instead of the quick way which you should know) it is
simply because they confuze me. Probably 100% better coding, but if you
really want to change it, do so!
There. He now drops his entire inventory!!!
(this is good if you want them to drop a few items and maybe a trphy (ie their head) ;))
Oh, and just a small side note, you know the npceditor? Maybe in
npceditorinit make the max of those scrollbars we added to the
appropriate value!
eg:
frmNpcEditor.scrlWeaponSlot.Max = MAX_ITEMS
:)
On part two we'll start the serverside! (yay! Thats good ;)) and we'll add in the Npc's PkPref, ClassPref and WalkFreq :)
WARNING:
I am not going to post the code i add in. I will simply post my GameAI
sub! I forgot to write it down in the tut as i coded it rofl!
