NPC Equipment/Weapons

[kaotik]

On a R9690 server, I am finding it extremely difficult to have an npc equip a weapon. Tried using Quice through the Equip Template tab, but still nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

It's quite simple actually on Quice.

Tab creature template, at the right, you can find a equipement_id field.

You must enter a equipement_id (and NOT entry of an item). You can't equip every item; you can find an existing NPC with the weapon you'd like to equip, then see what is in the equipement_id field, and copy/paste to your npc

It really should not be a problem if you use the Creature_template tab in Quice. If you want to preview and immediately apply equipment_id in-game, see the code for .npc setequipment in ticket 373. It still works with the latest revision but you'll probably have to apply the changes manually at this point.

Ah ok thanks sending the patch to the powers-that-be for review and implementation. Another quick question. I was able to get melee and bows equipped on the npc's, but on a select npc I am trying to get it to just stand there and shoot at the target. Tried various commands through .wp for it to just shoot, but it error's out. Making the target hostile, the npc shoots once, and runs in and autoattacks. just thought of it while writing this, hehe, maybe autoshot? Not sure how else to get him to stay ranged, short of freezing him to the ground, but that's not restart-proof.

Try setting one of the following emotes in creature_template_addon:

435 (oneshot_attackbow)

384 (state_hold_bow)

376 (state_readybow)

Figured it out using EventAI:

P.S.- Also figured out why WP's were erroring... core was corrupt. fresh x64 build solved it.
