NPC Editing? X!Y! .... Z???

Post by toria »

When customizeing NPC's I am having isuess setting the Z axis, thus I can not place npc's on the second floor! ack! When I try to set it with studio the NPC pops to the second floor then *pop* back down to the second! Thus my beautiful and hard made alchmy lab remains empty, and all of my mages are boogieing in my tailor shop. When useing the NPC edit menu built in with the cheat menu I can not find aplace to set the z axis either. There is a place to display it.. but no place to set it :( But of course there are plenty of pikemen in trinsic that are taunting me from the second floor.

On a unrelated note I am also haveing issues when NPC createing. I created a New NPC. *check* Customised new NPC *check* Set new NPC *check*

But now every time I get near the NPC he says "next time we meet avatar, I shall wear your eyeballs as earrings!" Now I suppose this is not really a issue.. but It was getting kind of anoying every time I entered my bedroom to have that spamed at me lol. I just set his scedual to timbuck tou and saved lol. But still something to think about lol.

First issue sounds like a bug, something I'd like to fix fairly soon.

I don't understand the second. Maybe I'll give it a try tonight.

It's probably a Usecode error, if you made custom usecode (as I have done quite extensively) Post the usecode if you have made it.

There are some unused NPC's in SI, and it's possible that some of them already have usecode functions. I'll have to remember to try this tonight.
