[Example /Listing] NPC Engine *GM6*

 ;D hi this is my first  *hard* engine made:

NPC ENGINE:
you should add this on a Step Event

Code: [Select]

if place_meeting(x,y+4,objlink){
  if keyboard_check(ord('X')){
   if distance_to_object(objlink)<10{
    screen_redraw();
    Say("I'm AN NPC BRO!",true,true,true);
    }}}

Eplanation:
if place_meeting(x,y+4,objlink){  This line tells the objcet if link's is in the position y+4 or +3 +2 +1 +0 go to the next line
if keyboard_check(ord('X')){ If thew KEY "X" (can be replaced) is pressed when links is at the psotion y+4 y+3 +2 +1 0 next line
if distance_to_object(objlink)<10{ If the distance is minor to 10, the Say line should apear
Say("I'm AN NPC BRO!",true,true,true); TRW engine, you should wirte in here the NPC Dialog

so, try to fool aroud whit this... if you want an npc that vanish after he talks, add the line instance_destroy() after the Say line

YOU NEED: TRW's TEXT ENGINE, an object for the npc, and a link char(replace the objlink on the code for the name of you link object)

Re: NPC Engine *GM6*

Will the npc it self walk random ?

I believe this is an NPC dialogue engine. It doesn't make the NPC move. But if the NPC were walking, you'd need additional code to make sure that you could only talk to it while it was facing you. To tweak for a moving NPC:

Code: [Select]

switch (npcdir)
{
case "down"
if place_meeting(x,y+4,objlink){
  if keyboard_check(ord('X')){
   if distance_to_object(objlink)<10{
    screen_redraw();
    Say("I'm AN NPC BRO!",true,true,true);
    }}}
case "up"
if place_meeting(x,y-4,objlink){
  if keyboard_check(ord('X')){
   if distance_to_object(objlink)<10{
    screen_redraw();
    Say("I'm AN NPC BRO!",true,true,true);
    }}}
case "left"
if place_meeting(x-4,y,objlink){
  if keyboard_check(ord('X')){
   if distance_to_object(objlink)<10{
    screen_redraw();
    Say("I'm AN NPC BRO!",true,true,true);
    }}}
case "right"
if place_meeting(x+4,y,objlink){
  if keyboard_check(ord('X')){
   if distance_to_object(objlink)<10{
    screen_redraw();
    Say("I'm AN NPC BRO!",true,true,true);
    }}}
}

That should work for multiple directions, you'd need to declare 'npcdir' in the NPC's movement script so that the program knows the value you're declaring, there are probably a few bugs with this...might want to make a handler for whether or not the player is facing the NPC...I could probably refine this script a bit more, seeing as I only duplicated the script, added a switch and changed a few variables. If anyone wants a refined version, either PM me or post a request in this thread. I'll write a comprehensive NPC engine if anyone needs one.

EDIT: And an explanation of how the whole thing works would go with the engine as well. ;P

Surely you can do it!
Believe in your strengths...Believe...
