Is it possible tp spawn a npc at a waypoint?

[Seamhainn]

Hello!

 

The topic says it all. Is it possible and how would the script look like?

 

Thanks and take care

void main()
{

object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();

object oTarget;
object oSpawn;
location lTarget;
oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("waypoint_tag_here");

lTarget = GetLocation(oTarget);

oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "creature_resref_here", lTarget);

}

 

I think that's how you do it anyway...

{

object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();

object oTarget;
object oSpawn;
location lTarget;
oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("waypoint_tag_here");

lTarget = GetLocation(oTarget);

oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "creature_resref_here", lTarget);

}

Thanks, I'll try it out!

Pretty much. Waypoints are normal objects and you can get an object reference for them, and from that their location, like most other world objects.

 

(You can write the same thing with a bit less variable bloat though, even though either way should work.

void main() {
   location lTarget = GetLocation(GetObjectByTag("waypoint_tag_here"));
   CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "creature_resref_here", lTarget);
}

Got to go all the way.

void main() {
 CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "creature_resref_here", GetLocation(GetObjectByTag("waypoint_tag_here")));
}
