#advnpcspawn

I've been trying to figure out how to use this command to make use of roamboxes... But i have no idea how to get it to work. The wiki does'nt have anything on it either. Does anyone have any example on how to use this command?

It's basically a box.

min_x = west x location
min_y = south y location
max_x = east x location
max_y = north y location
dist = distance it will roam from where it randomly spawns
delay = time before the NPC switches into a random direction

to see an npc roam anywhere, #ai roambox when an NPC is targeted

hope that helps!

thanks, will try this out now :P

I have to admit I am having a bit of trouble with this as well. For whatever reason, I can't get the NPCs to load their roamboxes from the DB. #ai roambox works fine, but if I give them values in the DB, they just stand there. Is there a trick to it or did I make an error when I merged the code into SVN?

I got the roamboxes to work after i let the zone go down and restarted it after i set the npc to roam.

Well, at least I know it works.

I'll have to keep playing, even after a reboot the NPCs I assigned roamboxes to won't move. Oh well.

Ok, I hate to disagree with someone that is proven to know more than me, but this isn't quite correct. Regardless of direction, the smaller number goes in the min. Took me almost 5 hours to figure out what was wrong with my roam boxes =o. Now, this may work with #advnpcspawn, but it doesn't work for direct DB editing.
