Dummy NPCs API access

yahwho · Jan 9th 2021

Can we please get more access to the dummy NPCs via the API?

Such as setting clothes, setting name, setting invincibility, maybe even aggression?!

I don't think this is currently possible via the API, please correct me if I'm wrong!

Looks looks some of what I've asked for is in https://javadoc.rising-world.n…orld/api/objects/Npc.html

I can see a getClothes method but not a setClothes one.

I'm assuming that's because it is a little more complex, as it would need methods such as npc.getClothes(Type.shoes) npc.getClothes(Type.hat) etc.

Still, would be super useful to set clothes of an npc, even if it was limited to full 'costumes' which would mean only one method with a parameter. Such as npc.setClothes(Costume.Armour1);

More control over NPCs via API is planned for the new version Probably I can say more about that as soon as NPCs are implemented.

However, in the Java version, you can already set the name of NPCs (via npc.setName()) and also them invincible (npc.setInvincible()). Actually you can also change the clothes: There is a Clothes object linked to every NPC who can wear clothes. You can get it via npc.getClothes(), then you can modify it directly (clothes.add())

Java: Example to add a full suit (shoes, pants and jacket)

//Get clothing definitions from name
Definitions.ClothingDefinition shoes = Definitions.getClothingDefinition("tux_shoes");
Definitions.ClothingDefinition pants = Definitions.getClothingDefinition("tux_pants");
Definitions.ClothingDefinition jacket = Definitions.getClothingDefinition("tux_jacket");

//Get the clothes object for the npc in question
Clothes clothes = npc.getClothes();

//Check if clothes object is not null (e.g. it's always null for animals)
if(clothes != null){
    //Add shoes, pants and jacket
    clothes.add(shoes.getID());
    clothes.add(pants.getID());
    clothes.add(jacket.getID());
}

Changes to the Clothes object updates the clothes of the NPC immediately, so there is no need to reassign it.

Ah brilliant, missed that in the API.

Getting the Clothes object and than adding to it makes sense.

Many thanks red51
