New npc classes

[Remyz]

Does anyone know if it is possible to create new npc classes?

eg. if I wanted a new npc like emp. Palpatine who is static most of the time, but can walk and casts lightning .

 

I'll kill two birds with one stone here:

Is it possible to create new weapons and attach these to a npc class?

eg. a gaffistick as a new weapon which is used by a tusken raider.

 

How does this work anyway? Reborn carry sabers, Stormtroopers carry various guns. Is there a way of changing this besides creating a new npc character?

You should use ICARUS scripting. This will give you a great deal of things to do with NPC's.

Thanks UltimateZeus, I'll see what I can do.

I've read the Icarus help_manual that came with the editing tools update, but are there any other icarus tutorials out there?

 

Regardless of what I put in a script file, the npc runs around (like a maniac) with a blaster. Not sure what the problem is here, if someone could please help!

 

Thanks in advance

You need to set the weapon to WP_SABER if you want a lightsaber wielding character. I'm going to be writing up some tutorials on scripting and I will post as soon as they are finished.

 

I just need to finish my exams first
