Title: Make the monster attack?
Post by: ctlmo5 on July 01, 2007, 06:24:13 pm

I find out there have 3 monsters in database table "characters" - FAMILIAR:Roge, FAMILIAR:Clacker and FAMILIAR:Rat.
i set the  npc_spawn_rule to 1, so i can spawn after loadmap, and set the  loc_x  loc_y  loc_z.
Therefore i can see those monster in the NPCroom, but i can not attack them and they can not attack me.
Is it something have to set in the table "characters" to make the monster can be attacked?

can any one give me some hint?

NO i am running the psserver and psclient with the account "guest", and i only have npcclient.cfg.

*edit*

is it all the member in table "character" is player or npc?
so they are not able to be attacked?

if yes, which table connect the monster? so should i change the source code?

you need to run the npcclient as well that is what makes the npcs attackable.

i am using mac and windows xp, i build PS on both of the OS, in my PS i only have npcclient.cfg so i have to "build" the npcclient?

You can try to jam psnpcclient and see if that helps

The npcclient controls NPC's and their movement/actions/responses. So in order to see them do something other than "talk" which is scripted in the DB you have to run that as well.

Be careful, start psserver first then psnpcclient
