Making NPC's sleep/sit

Subject: Making NPC's sleep/sit Tue Feb 20, 2007 7:22 pm

There are a lot of NPC's in Exodar and Azuremyst that should be laying down or sitting. Is there a way to get them to actually do this? I haven't found any commands in game to allow me to change their standstate and have no idea if I have to write a py script for it.

Any ideas?

Sure:
Make new script ai / type / humanoid / sleeping.py:

Code:: #by Aceindy

from Ludmilla import *
import consts as co
reload(co)
import const_spellname as spell_name # Import of constants (spell_name)
reload(spell_name)
from random import *

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnInitNpc (self):

entry_id = self.GetEntry()

print "OnInitSleep: %s %d" % (self.GetName(), entry_id)

# stop any movements
self.MovementType (co.STAY_AT_CURRENT_PLACE)
self.CastSpell(self, spell_name.SPELL_ID_PEON_SLEEPING )
#--- END ---

and register creature_id's in startup_ai.py:

Code:: printLog("| -> Registering AI Module Sleep |" )
import ai.type.humanoid.sleeping
reload (ai.type.humanoid.sleeping)
for i in (16483, 17117, 18812):
RegisterAIModule (i, "ai.type.humanoid.sleeping", 0)

Oops...i think I finished it allready....just add it, and try some creature_id's

Mind sharing those ID's??

Subject: Re: Making NPC's sleep/sit Tue Feb 20, 2007 8:05 pm

I sure can provide the ID's! They are the Draenei Survivors that need to be sleeping and a couple others. Let me go ingame and get the #'s for you.

NPC's Sleeping: 16483, 17117, 18812

NPC's Sitting: 18813

Also, where in that script do I change the creature Id?

Next time, edit your post instead of making a new one...

I filled them in for you , see original post.

nice nice
hard script

try this -)))

Code:: from Ludmilla import *
import consts as co
reload(co)
from random import *

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnEnemyDetected (self, attacker):

pass

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnAttacked (self, attacker):

pass

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnTakeDamage (self, attacker):

pass

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnThink (self, val):
self.SetStandState (co.STANDSTATE_SIT)

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnInitNpc (self):
self.MovementType (co.STAY_AT_CURRENT_PLACE)
self.NextThink(1000, 0)

#--- END ---

look in const more emote -)))

STANDSTATE_STAND = 0
STANDSTATE_SIT = 1
STANDSTATE_SIT_CHAIR = 2
STANDSTATE_SLEEP = 3
STANDSTATE_SIT_LOW_CHAIR = 4
STANDSTATE_SIT_MEDIUM_CHAIR = 5
STANDSTATE_SIT_HIGH_CHAIR = 6
STANDSTATE_DEAD = 7
STANDSTATE_KNEEL = 8

I think you can skip the NextThink...once he's sitting, he will remain sitting, no need to update every 1000ms...

Which makes it:
Make new script ai / type / humanoid / sitting.py:

Code:: from Ludmilla import *
import consts as co
reload(co)
from random import *

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnEnemyDetected (self, attacker):
pass
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnAttacked (self, attacker):
pass
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnTakeDamage (self, attacker):
pass
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnThink (self, val):
pass
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def OnInitNpc (self):
self.MovementType (co.STAY_AT_CURRENT_PLACE)
self.SetStandState (co.STANDSTATE_SIT)
#--- END ---

and accompaning init in startup_ai.py:

Code:: printLog("| -> Registering AI Module Sitting |" )
import ai.type.humanoid.sitting
reload (ai.type.humanoid.sitting)
for i in (18813):
RegisterAIModule (i, "ai.type.humanoid.sitting", 0)

PS..for sleeping I use spell; it will show "Zzzzz" above sleeping NPC.
If you do not require that, use same script as sitting.

I see that it involved starting NPC's of Draenei start Area, so I have removed the "Zzzz". Also tested and added it to SVN :-)

Good thinking !!!

That is great work guys! Glad to see I could help out at least a little in this community. I must say, I love the work that is being done and am glad that I can do my part.

I'll post any updates that I might find for any other NPC's that need this kind of interaction.

i can share so much IDs of npcs wich has emotes in bli$$ but the disadvantege
is that the script works for id and not for guids , it would be usful if it will be included in V4 by using Creatures.sql like adding a new colum for emotes.

I agree, less scripts, less lagg Wink

better that you PM MasterM in EMUpedia for that suggestion

Totaly agree on that, but....it also depends a bit on what the script is supposed to do.
This particular script is activated once during OnInitNPC, and it ain't doing anything during gameplay;)

Also added kneeling.py for Mourning Draenei (16807), see svn

well last time i suggest to made a way for random respawn models of npc through creatures_templ.sql he said that i can do that by editing the tables through a python script by using his commands. (unit.SetUpdateFieldValue(XXX, modelId)
my guss he's gonna tell me that again...i'll PM him and i'll see what he's thinking and i'll tell you , so we would know if we should work on those scripts.

How should a script for a NPC to carry a weapon and shield should look like... I searched in here but couldn't find it. Some of my guards have nice little checkered boxes instead of shields, and some don't have any weapons at all. Tried to spawn Stormwind City Guards, for example, the models already in the game, which have shields and weapons, but the ones I spawned carry no shield or weapon.

I am totally unskilled in writing python scripts, so any help, or pointers are appreciated. Thanks.
