#NPC and spell scripts
##Spell Scripts Spells can now be created by simply placing a lua file in the folder "\Content\Scripts\Spells" These spells can be used by monsters as well as players, depending on how you set up the player UI.
###Example spells Heal:
ID = 2
Name = 'Heal'
Damage = 50
SpriteName = 'Spell_HealSpell'
Cooldown = 500
Mana_Cost = 5
Spell_Heal = true

##NPC Scripts NPCs can now be created by simply placing a lua file in the folder "\Content\Scripts\NPCs"
Minimum required fields for a non-talking NPC:
name = 'NameHere' -- any name you'd like, this will be the NPCs name in-game
pos = {x = 3, y = 3, z = 0} -- set to any position you'd like
talkative = 'false' -- if set to 'true', then all the fields required for a talking NPC also have to be includedMinimum required fields for a talking NPC:
name = 'NameHere' -- any name you'd like
pos = {x = 3, y = 3, z = 0} -- set to any position you'd like
talkative = 'true'
auto_greeted = 'false' -- set to true if the player isn't required to greet the NPC before starting a conversation
greeting = 'hi'
greeting_answer = 'hiho, %p' -- %p is replaced by playername (only true for this specific variable)Example of a talking NPC who performs actions, "Protester.lua" (also requires "funcs.lua" below):
name = 'Protester'
pos = {x = 15, y = 3, z = 0}
auto_greeted = false
talkative = true
greeting = 'hi'
greeting_answer = 'Hello, %p'
words = {'item', 'spawn'}
spawnmonsterid = 2
replies = {{isFunc = true, func = 'CreateItem', msg = 'Here is your item'}, {isFunc = true, func = 'SpawnMonster', msg = 'A cat has spawned'}}
require "Content/Scripts/NPCs/funcs"
function Chat(msg, playerid)
for i, v in ipairs(words) do
if (v == msg) then
if (replies[i].isFunc) then
if (replies[i].func == 'CreateItem') then
doFunc(replies[i].func, playerid, pos.x, pos.y + 1, pos.z)
elseif (replies[i].func == 'SpawnMonster') then
doFunc(replies[i].func, spawnmonsterid, pos.x, pos.y + 1, pos.z)
end
end
reply = replies[i].msg
return reply
end
end
return ""
endfuncs.lua:
function doFunc(func, ...)
args = {...}
if (func == "CreateItem") then
CreateItem(21, args[2], args[3], args[4])
elseif (func == "SpawnMonster") then
SpawnMonster(args[1], args[2], args[3], args[4])
end
end
