No problem. Glad you guys are liking it

After looking into the plugins Shendare created and shared a while back, I see that passing $npc into the plugin is no longer required if you have the globals.pl file by Shendare already. So, for people who already have that file, you can use this version of the roam plugins:

Code:
#NOTE: These functions require the globals.pl file for use of the val() plugin

#Usage: plugin::RandomRoam(MaxXVariance, MaxYVariance);

sub RandomRoam {

	my $npc = plugin::val('$npc');
	my $MaxXVariance = $_[0];
	my $MaxYVariance = $_[1];
	
	# Don't try to roam if already engaged in combat!
	if ($npc->IsEngaged() != 1) {
		#my $AtGuardSpot = 0;	

		#Get needed Locs
		my $CurX = $npc->GetX();
		my $CurY = $npc->GetY();
		#my $CurZ = $npc->GetZ();	#Not currently required by this plugin
		my $OrigX = $npc->GetSpawnPointX();
		my $OrigY = $npc->GetSpawnPointY();
		my $OrigZ = $npc->GetSpawnPointZ();
		my $GuardX = $npc->GetGuardPointX();
		my $GuardY = $npc->GetGuardPointY();

		if ($CurX == $GuardX && $CurY == $GuardY) {	#If the NPC has finished walking to the previous given Loc
			#$AtGuardSpot = 1;

			#Get a random X and Y within the set range
			my $RandomX = int(rand($MaxXVariance - 1)) + 1;
			my $RandomY = int(rand($MaxYVariance - 1)) + 1;
			my $PosX = $OrigX + $RandomX;
			my $PosY = $OrigY + $RandomY;
			my $NegX = $OrigX - $RandomX;
			my $NegY = $OrigY - $RandomY;
			my $NewX = quest::ChooseRandom($PosX, $NegX);
			my $NewY = quest::ChooseRandom($PosY, $NegY);
			
			#Check for LoS and Z issues before moving to the new Loc
			my $NewZ = $npc->FindGroundZ($NewX,$NewY, 5) + 1;	#Add 1 to the new Z to prevent hopping issue when they arrive
			if ($NewZ > -999999 && $OrigZ > ($NewZ - 16) && $OrigZ < ($NewZ + 14)) {
				my $LoS_Check = $npc->CheckLoSToLoc($NewX, $NewY, $NewZ, 5);
				#Check LoS to the new random Loc
				if ($LoS_Check) {
					quest::moveto($NewX, $NewY, $NewZ, -1, 1);
				}
			}
		}

		#Bool Return option to see the result of if the NPC is at it's new loc or not
		#return $AtGuardSpot;
	}
}

#Usage: plugin::StraightPath(MaxXVariance, MaxYVariance);

sub StraightPath {
	
	my $npc = plugin::val('$npc');
	my $MaxXVariance = $_[0];
	my $MaxYVariance = $_[1];
	
	# Don't try to roam if already engaged in combat!
	if ($npc->IsEngaged() != 1) {

		my $OrigY = $npc->GetSpawnPointY();
		my $OrigZ = $npc->GetSpawnPointZ();
		my $GuardX = $npc->GetGuardPointX();

Just save that as whatever you want to call it. Something like "path_tools.pl" would work fine. Then, remove the files with the old versions (randomroam.pl and straightpath.pl). I combined the 2 into a single file, since they are both related.

The usage on these is simply:

Code:
plugin::RandomRoam(100, 100);
or

Code:
plugin::StraightPath(100, 100);
