Random NPC texture code
 

Hello,

I've been looking at some old posts, but I can't seem to get this code to work.

I have the following in default.pl, located in Quests -> global




-------------------

sub EVENT_SPAWN {

quest::settimer("texturechange", 5);

}

sub EVENT_TIMER {

if($timer eq "texturechange") {
my $NPCRace = $npc
if($NPCRace == 13){
quest::stoptimer("texturechange");
plugin::RandomFeatures($npc); ### Simply changes face, hair, etc.
}
}

}

------------



My hope is that it would make any Aviaks (race 13) randomly pick a texture, but it doesn't seem to be functioning. Coming back after a long hiatus, so I'm rusty on quest writing...

Can anyone please provide some guidance?

Thank you!

You can check your scripts for syntax errors from the command line as shown below:

Thanks for the help! I will remember to use that to check syntax.

In the meanwhile, here is a working code for anyone in the future... Changes aviaks to random texture. Leaving in other options as well. Hope this helps someone!

in default.pl
---------
sub EVENT_SPAWN {

my $NPCRace = $npc->GetRace();
if($NPCRace == 13)
{
my $Race = $npc->GetRace();
my $Gender = $npc->GetGender();
#my $Texture = $npc->GetTexture();
#my $HelmTexture = $npc->GetHelmTexture();
my $Face = $npc->GetLuclinFace();
my $HairStyle = $npc->GetHairStyle();
my $HairColor = $npc->GetHairColor();
my $Beard = $npc->GetBeard();
my $BeardColor = $npc->GetBeardColor();
my $DrakkinHeritage = $npc->GetDrakkinHeritage();
my $DrakkinTattoo = $npc->GetDrakkinTattoo();
my $DrakkinDetails = $npc->GetDrakkinDetails();
my $Size = $npc->GetSize();


my $Texture = plugin::RandomRange(0,3);
#my $SelectHead = plugin::RandomRange(0,1);
$npc->SendIllusion(13, 2, $Texture, $Texture);

## FORMAT FOR ADDITIONAL CHAGNES
##$npc->SendIllusion($Race, $Gender, $Texture, $HelmTexture, $Face, $HairStyle, $HairColor, $Beard, $BeardColor, $DrakkinHeritage, $DrakkinTattoo, $DrakkinDetails, $Size);
}
}
