NPC clothes and weapons

get close and point at it and editnpc in the terminal. the window will open. For hostiles be in creative mode as admin for protection. Also NPC will spawn with the cloths you are wearing at the time I believe. Am not positive how to change bandits cloths. Am not positive how to change weapons either, other then spawnnpc bandit1. bandit2. bandit3 when spawning. What you are holding might spawn with the NPC, I haven't tried.

Custom NPC How To

Tips: if you lock a bandit or skeleton, it will not attack, even when provoked. You can try caging a hostile UNlocked bandit which usually works (as a defensive 'sentry') but they may escape at some point due to lag hiccup or poorly built cage. I find some materials work better than others. Bannister 2x2 cage rails seems to hold them best but allowing them to shoot (unlike blocks or solid walls which will prevent hostile from attacking unless u are inside with them). Doors are not recommended as they are often able to walk through them as if they are not there (collision detection seems to be only on one side for NPCs, but both sides for players). I have several places on my server where armed 'soldiers' will shoot on site (either caged to guard one spot or wandering/patrolling) in a military base of ours. Or maybe a couple archers guarding the entrance to a castle? Dungeon challenge perhaps? ~enjoy
