So.. is this working on new editor? And are there any way to add my custom sound effects/voices for those npc's or enemies?
Thanks for answers already.

There's a basic version running that enabled you to tell NPCs to walk somewhere, but the interaction part isn't done yet.
I'll look into it, but I don't dare to promise to meet a deadline

Hey mahric, for NPC, i'm thinking for two simples solution :
- Clickable + offset + size + onClick(NPC)
- Control panel ( OnDrawGui ) - Button "Communicate" - Hook onComm(NPC) -> brain = "NPC"

Trying your "clickable" suggestion as we speak

Already "tried" with my clickable doors, and see result ( It was a test to learn clicklable class and funtions utility )

I've uploaded a version for LoG2 that includes almost ALL (40+) of the basic monsters. (
video here or
download demo and source here)
With a few lines of scripting it's easy to interact with them, give them something or command them to move.
Code: Select all
mdNPC.source:registerNPC("myNPC") -- registers the npc at the framework
mdNPC.source:setRoute("myNPC", "f") -- moves the npc one square forward (use 'f' for forward, 'l' for turn left, 'r' for turn right and 'w' to wait a tiny bit)
You can register functions that are called if the player clicks on the npc or gives something to the npc.
Warning: these functions are only called if the npc is not moving.
Code: Select all
mdNPC.source:setOnInteract("myNPC", myScriptEntity.script.myFunction) -- Means: Call the 'myFunction' in the script 'myScript' if the npc 'myNPC' is clicked on while the player has NO item on the cursor
mdNPC.source:setOnGive("myNPC", myScriptEntity.script.myFunction) -- Means: call the 'myFunctoin' in the script 'myScript' if the npc 'myNPC' is clicked while the player HAS an item on the cursor
For more info, check the source in the example from the link above.
Edit: It is not possible to add custom voices or sounds to the npcs

Are you sure ? If you define another NPC with attached script on hooks AND adding sounds/voices, i think it'll be possible. More else, remember that in LoG2, sounds injections are really easier, so adding a custom sound ( declared before of course ) for this or that action is pretty easy, no ?

I didn't mean that it was impossible at all, just that I didn't built in any specific support for that. The way you describe should be very doable indeed.
