Forcing NPC's to join?

Post by blueninja »

Hey, I was just wondering how to make an NPC who isn't supposed to be in the party join. I've tried in the Cheat menu to press "I" once I've selected the NPC and I've tried going into the advanced flag area and set flag 6 - the "in party" flag and after it is set the npc just stands there and does not join. So, I set the npc activity to "follow avatar" but still nothing happens.

If anyone could help me with this that would be great!

Thanks!

Just added support for this in the cheat screen, so it should appear in the next daily snapshot. Use the 'i' key.

I have been waiting for this (but for some reason I never mentioned it here). I remember when I played U7 in DOS I used this to get Lord British quickly to the spot for a quick resurrection.

Set IN PARTY to true, and then set the schedule to FOLLOW AVATAR.

That's what you used to have to do, anywho (-:
