House NPCs
 

Holy crap. That looks pretty awesome. How did you get the pictures to demonstrate how they would look?

Thanks and some editing in Photoshop lol.

Don't forget to add actions like Sit, Idle, or any Gani you own.

Nice idea, would be quite good.. maybe it could be npc item then have the option when bought where you could pick the head & body for the npc (maybe so it could only use heads that you have got)

knowing the staff team, if it is made it'll be like 100k gralats each. lmfao.

Maybe there could be an advanced option where you could actually script its actions like the level editor. That's probably too much to ask for, but it's an idea.

good idea, i know people use statues for this, but this looks better

Me likey

Why don't they just edit the statue to do this?

I think I'll do such a thing on iEra :) could give it to Rufus than aswell if it's fine with him and snk

Statues on Era are already better than Classic's statues. I'd like to see what you could do.

Awesome Idea, I hope they go with it. I currently use statues, but the little blue thing at the bottom is lame. You are a genius dewd.

very nice idea xO

Era finally had something cool before classic, then Classic has to make it cooler.

albert is a sexy butler

Wow that would be awesome

Would be much more appropriate if it worked like predefined characters in the level editor in which it gives you a set of options and attributes that you can change(walking style, player interaction and so on).

The problem is probably allowing the player to actually customize these NPCs in a simple and hassle-free way; especially on iPods where you can only fit so much on the screen.

Well maybe a small list of basic commands, like walking and....walking. Aside from the text, name, and push/pull option.

this is how i did it on iera. will probably remake the options

That looks nice and easy to use. I like it.

I don't understand the NPC type thing though. Is that supposed to be like a false guild tag or something? Like (Guard), (Chef), etc?

what?

Awesome! I hope they do something similar on iClassic.

Not bad. I could see some potential with this - like that one RPG-styled house Applez posted. Could make for something interesting.

its "back" in german from the crappy translation stefan added. i hope he will remove the translation as it cant be changed by the player, even if you change your country flag.

im ignoring the translation in my scripts as i dont support it and hope it will get removed but that part of the script isnt mine - its part of the "main" scripts so i didnt want to remove it from there

Do you think you can make it so when we grab the furniture NPC it changes its look to the current look of the one who grabbed instead?

Thats already an option. The NPC type for that is personal. Will have to ard a block for that though so others cant do replace the look. But its easy to add

Ah :0 cool. I thought there was only certain types such as a chef, waiter, etc.

Nope, also added the personal option :)

Cool :D

Sounds awesome. I don't really buy much for my gh but stuff like this I would buy, hope classic adds this...

Well its done on iEra but didn't feel like releasing it yet. want to do other stuff first and release it within one (bigger?) shop :P

but id be fine with sharing it with iclassic, even though its actually a pretty simple script and the movement isnt that bad (thanks pix <3)

blablablah *skips off topic german stuff*
ok back on topic

AWESOME IDEA! But i dont think its necessary to make a new furnitur item.
INSTEAD, use the grabbable player statue. To make the ststue pook like your desired npc, change your look and grab. The npc text and stuff can just be added to the statues options.

so basically add these options to statue:
-Nickname
-Message on touch
-hide/show statue base (so it will look like an npc not a statue...)

Or use Callimuc's that has movement aswell as everything above :D *cough* Calls on Rufus! *cough*

dont know if you are mixing this with another thread but here is no "german" stuff

Yes there was.

What are the purposes of the different NPC types?

oh that translation thing

in my case different types of npcs will be having different types of "extras"

I hate to bring up runescape but they had a pretty good houseNPCs.

jea i also thought of that

They can't make it cooler, I made statues sit down if placed on seats. That's the extremity to which npcs can get!

They also move your chairs if you put them too close >.>
