Help with NPC please.

[UniTrader]

Ok. Thank you.

I noticed, if use

Code: Select all

select faction="faction.random"

NPC generated different supplies.

The captain may be: NPC trader and etc. but have the status - Captain. ))

I will try your code.

thats probably because faction.random is not a valid expression, so it resolves to null (with an error to the debuglog) and since you didnt specify any faction it defaults to a random valid value..

Another problem.
after some time, the designated NPC spontaneously leave the ship.

Code: Select all

    <cue name="vsl_defencecontrol">
        <conditions>
           <event_cue_signalled/>
        </conditions>
	  <actions>
           <find_object_component name="$DockingBay" class="class.dockingbay" object="player.primaryship" /> 
             <create_platform_actor name="$Actor" dockingbay="$DockingBay" type="entitytype.defencecontrol"> 
               <owner exact="faction.player"/> 
                <select faction="[faction.plutarch,faction.heartofalbion, faction.argongovernment,faction.canteran, faction.jonferson,faction.familyryak,faction.teladi].random" tags="tag.defencecontrol"/> 
                   <skills> 
                       <skill type="boarding" min="2" max="5" />

                      <skill type="science" min="5" max="5" /> 
                  </skills> 
            </create_platform_actor> 
            <add_actor_to_playership actor="$Actor"/> 
      </actions>
    </cue>

not entirely sure, but maybe the npc timed out or is just persistent in the zone until hired... best take a loop in the NPC_****-MDScripts which manage this stuff..

[YorrickVander]

For my own hire npcs script I assign everything to their post directly. The only issue so far is managers for stations - something I have done causes CTD when sending them direct to position. You might consider this spawn to skunk > assign to postition a workaround for that case only.

NPC added, are currently working.

Maybe someone come in handy. NPC at the skunk and destination on ships and stations.
