$mobid = npctypeid or the spawn#?

[Irreverent]

By lexicon it says that $mobid should be npctypeid, but when I do a quest::shout("I am number $mobid"); it is saying the npc# of the zone, not the npctype id.

Meaining, if there are 100 mobs in the zone, I spawn it it will say "I am number 101"

Did this get changed? Is there a way to get it to be the npctypeid instead? Maybe another variable?

$npcID = $npc->GetNPCTypeID();

Just added "..I am NPC $npcID or $npc"

all I see is "...I am NPC"

[joligario]

He's saying do this:
$myID = $npc->GetNPCTypeID();
quest::say("My ID is $myID.");

Gotcha, awesome! This worked, thanks.

Now just need to figure out the default.pl or whatever it is for the generic npc perl.(like player.pl)

Have another thread in this forum discussing this.
