Emon Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Is there any way to spawn NPCs using ICARUS? I can't seem to find anything in the manual. Perhaps something with this NPC_**** entity in Radiant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipe Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 I haven't found a way, unless there's a treasure trove of hidden ICARUS commands (if only!), so I'll risk putting my foot in my mouth and say it's impossible. I believe the NPC_**** entity is like a parent entity - you don't actually use it, but it holds all the basic information for an NPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 Bah, dumb bugs! They should have replicated COG for level scripting, that would rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keto Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 i think with the NPC_****** entity you need to add a spawnscript key: spawnscript value: .ibi of your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dest Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 You can spawn npcs in multiplayer. look at the g2animent command in the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeNN Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 I don't think you need a script to spawn NPC's in your map... You just make a trigger and when your character walks through it you can spawn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 Yeah, but I wanted to spawn NEW NPC entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihavedirt Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 hey, in the general editing thread, someone got a reply from chang to set up your npc file so that they hold the gun. also, i had a few thoughts (maybe people already know or have read this but it might be useful) re: npc_custom spawning via jkradiant and then using icarus scripting. some of the code is in the forum as well and it might help hopefully? the link is here: http://64.246.44.70/~lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=678667#post678667 ~* beau *~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihavedirt Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 okay, the answer is in the thread above. i just spawned my own custom npc holding a blaster and he killed a stormtrooper for me. havent tested the saber version yet and im still to get the map to spawn a custom npc but its so much closer ~* beau *~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipe Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 interesting finds, but there is still no way to spawn an NPC using icarus. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studman0201 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Goto the thread in general editing. I emailed chang he said use an NPC_spawner and set the NPC_type to the name of your npc. I emailed him to be more specific. I am awaiting his e-mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
