npc rushing

[kylestarbucks]

dont u hate it when a slow npc is blocking your path and u have to wait forever to move on?

well...will anyone plz make a script that...when u keep of pushing on an npc(i mean like keep walking in the npc's direction when u r blocked) they will speed up and move out of the way. i would like it so that u can choose which events can move out of the way like that.

thank you!

So, a system where, If you keep running into an NPC, he/she'll move outta the way and if you talk to them after, they say something like "Why did you push me ?"

If so, that reminds me of StarWars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace for the PS1, That had the same system.

I'd like to see this done *cough*Seph*cough*Trickster*cough*Selwyn*

Sorry, I got a cough

A lot of old school RPGs had this.
I always thought it was fun to push people around.
If this gets done, I'd like use it.

How 'bout setting those events to "Player touch" and putting something like this in it:
move event: this event: move away from player ?

I remember this from the Final Fantasies. I'd try, but I'd probably brake RMXP (I am good, but not great, especially when Graphical/Event/etc. based scripts are involved). Ah, well.

Peace!

arevulopapo, Thats a Great idea, I'm gonna try that, lol

I will release a script for this soon.(It works already, I only need to add some comments)

noo...i want them to move only if u push on them...if u do player touch then it would be like everyone is afraid of u or something

Pmsl, yeah, Ok, Back to the drawing board !

Nono, that's perfect, all you need is a variable like so:

You can modify that 40 to any value you want to modify how long you need to run into them before they move. I'd probably also add in a move route event that turned the stop animation on for the player.

The only issue is if you run into a npc for a little while (not long enough for them to move), leave, then come back later, it'll take a shorter time for them to move - but I'm sure this could be resolved somehow.

Edit: Fixed that issue as well - check out the demo I made, all done just by event scripting
http://www.sendspace.com/file/5rd9rr
The best part is that all the commands on that page can just be copied and pasted to any NPC event (just remember to make a new page and set "on hero touch" though).

 

[kylestarbucks]

ahhh...there is a flaw in that. most npc talk...if u do player touch, u activate the rest of the events too...

 

[kylestarbucks]

oops! i double posted! srry...stupid lag... plz delete this one
