respawn?

[Neiv]

What exactly does the quest:respawn function do? Is it used for npcs already spawned in the zone and need to be moved elsewhere? If not, how exactly would I accomplish that. I have an npc that spawns at a certain location after a turn-in, and (after a series of exchanges with him) I need him to move to a different location and stay there. What is the function to accomplish this? Thanks!

To my knowledge, respawn is just for respawning a certain npc id. Not exactly sure what you mean about moving the npc. If you mean moving an npc from one location to the next, I made a little example in which a signal triggers a guard to move via quest::signal(targetnpcid, waittime).

#look for EVENTA for the sequence of moving the npc.

my $location = 0;

sub EVENT_SPAWN {
	$location = 0;	#resets location variable
	}


sub EVENT_WAYPOINT {	#this event is triggered everytime npc moves
  $npc->SaveGuardSpot(0);	#This prevents the npc from running back to his original spot

	if ($location == 2) {	#EVENTD - NPC makes it to location and triggers this
	quest::settimer("adjustheading",1);
	}
}

sub EVENT_SIGNAL {
	if ($location == 0) {	$EVENTA - NPC is triggered
	quest::settimer("move",1);
	$location = 1;
	}
}


sub EVENT_TIMER {
	if ($timer eq "move") {
	quest::stoptimer("move");
	if ($location == 1) {
	quest::moveto(-832,-1345,87);	#EVENTB - NPC moves to this xyz
	$location = 2;	#EVENT C - Changes variable.
	}
	}
	if ($timer eq "adjustheading") {	#EVENTE - The npc is in the appropriate location.  Sets Heading
	quest::stoptimer("adjustheading");
	if ($location == 2) {
	$npc->SetHeading(123);	#What heading does npc face?
	$npc->SendPosition();	#Now, send this heading change to client
	}
	}
}

Thanks, Striat, I will give this a try.
