The only thing I see in the quest*.* code seems to be about globals. As tedious as this may sound, you might try scrounging through the existing quest pl files for events that specifically id a spawned mob in order to do something else. Pretty sure all I've ever seen is entityid tho... might need to make a new quest command.

if you want the npc to spawn lying down you can do this..

Code:
sub EVENT_SPAWN
{
	quest::settimer("L1",1);
}

sub EVENT_TIMER
{
	if ($timer eq "L1")
	{
		$npc->SetAppearance(16);
		quest::stoptimer("L1");
	}
}

Please dont tell me the only reason I have been going thru all this trouble is the fact that I was using ($timer == instead of ($timer eq in my origional attempt.

The npcid thing came later...

Hmm, looking back over the text before I post:

so 'Death Form' isnt an emote, but Appearance. Yet another reason it wasnt working. I don't feel too bad now. Since I was WAY out in left field on my command lines. If I had been closer to having the right code, it would have actually been much worse on my ego.

Many thanks for the coding hand, Cripp!

ok, I did a little experimenting with this:

useing:
Code:
sub EVENT_SPAWN { 
	quest::settimer("L1",10);
	quest::say("starting timer.");
	 } 
sub EVENT_TIMER { 
	if ($timer = "L1") { 
		$npc->SetAppearance(FILL IN THE NUMBER HERE); 
		quest::stoptimer("L1");
		quest::say("stop timer");
		 }
	 }
I was breaking down the effects to see what was allowed and what wasnt.
It appears only 5 appearances are allowed by this command:

0. default/ standing
1. sitting
2. ducked
3. dead
4. kneeling


I didnt test past this, as I was seeking the Death form, so not sure if it continues on further (sorry, i should have thought of that)

Thanks again for the insight, as it was the $npc->SetAppearance() line that I was totally missing, and never would have found it without ya.

I'm slow, but steady: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=SetAppearance
Not sure how to set it for linking back to other areas yet, unless that is automatic. Will read up more on that later.
