how to make good npc's

[Vazoh]

well here is my guide to making good NPC's.

first make an event. make 4 new event event pages so you have 5. on the first page put watever text u want and then put in:

Spoiler

control self swich:A on.

go to the next page and set the condition as: self swich A is ON and put what text you want. now put in:

Spoiler

control self swich: B on.

and so on and so forth. thx for reading, i hope this help. adios!

Would you care to explain how this makes a good NPC? Certainly "dynamic," but not necessarily good. You didn't even mention to turn off all of self switches at the end so the NPC starts over, or how you can use variables to increase the NPC's amount of dialog exponentially, or how to use simple scripting techniques to give the NPC even more dynamic dialog, or even how the NPC's behavior should be decided, because most of us know that an NPC is not just a distracting pile of pixels, but should behave like an actual person/animal/etc. would in the NPC's situation.

So, uh, do you want to expand a bit?

@>Control Variables : [001:NCP Random] = Random No.(1...5)
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [001:NCP Random] == 1
  @>Text: Hi there!
 : Branch End
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [001:NCP Random] == 2
  @>Text: ..!
 : Branch End

And so on

Ugh. Whether this makes a good NPC, or not, it certainly makes for a bad tutorial. Next time, take a look at some of the other tutorials before posting. click
