Need to hide spawners etc from players

[Hool]

My players see many of these npc, which I'm sure should be hidden from their view. How can I hide them from non-GMs?

Go into npc_types table and make bodytype: 66 and helmtexture 1 ... try that and let us know if it works.
You should only have to type #repop and it should do the changes immedietly and to select an npc once invisible just type /target npcname.


By the way, This is my 100th post!

With a default SVN database, and a clean client, these things are all not visible.

Have you modified your global load files? Or are these new/custom NPCs?

[Hool]

Do you know how to isolate all the npc_type records that require this change? I have some guesses i.e:

where size=-1 and level=1 and runspeed=0 and hp=11

However, i'm not sure and don't want to modify any records that do not need it.

Unless you have changed it the majority of the problem npc's should be race 127 which is for a_shadowed_man which is suppose to be invisible. Sometimes the default settings just don't seem to have the desired effect. The following should fix this issue.

update npc_types set bodytype = 66, gender = 0, texture = 0, helmtexture = 0, npcspecialattks = 'ABH' where race = 127;
