Moving npcs is slow

[lime shuttle]

I'm trying to move 3 npcs to 3 random locations. Currently though, the npcs only walk when they feel like it. Which isn't very often. I think the video shows it pretty well

I also feel like theres a better way of rotating them but I couldnt find it

also huh

is the bot dead?

It seems to mess up because of the water

Is it possible to get a new location if they cant reach the current one?

[lilac crescent]

uhh

maybe? i think

you can try just giving them a new walk location when they're stuck?

!e npc stuck

[frank widget]

Event: npc stuck

Group

NPC

Event Lines

npc stuck

Switches

npc:<npc> to only process the event if the spawned NPC matches.

Triggers

when an NPC's navigator is stuck.

Has NPC

Always.

Context

<context.action> returns 'teleport' or 'none'

Determine

"NONE" to do nothing.
"TELEPORT" to teleport.

Has Known Location

True - this adds switches in:<area> + location_flagged:<flag name>.

[lime shuttle]

hmm that fires for every npc though

and Im pretty sure we'll have a couple hundred npcs in our server

[lilac crescent]

there's a npc switch

Switches npc:<npc> to only process the event if the spawned NPC matches.

[lime shuttle]

right but then Id need 1 specific npc right

[lilac crescent]

no you can just flag the ones you crate with a generic flag

and then on npc stuck npc:npc_flagged:generic_flag:

[lime shuttle]

since when is that possible

[lilac crescent]

define "that"

[lime shuttle]

couldve known that before lol

[lime shuttle]

switch:flag

Ill give that a try, thansk!

[lilac crescent]

npc_flagged is a matcher just like item_flagged entity_flagged etc

i havent seen it in the docs though

[lime shuttle]

me neither

yup the event fires properly

Should I just keep giving them new locations till theyre not stuck?

would be nice if I could just cancel the stuck

Right so the event is cool and all but it doesnt have a context.npc

so that's kinda useless

Cant I just force them to swim?

[lilac crescent]

just <npc>

[lime shuttle]

...

can they make it more confusing

[lilac crescent]

so basically

yk how with player events there's a linked player (<player>)?

it's the same for npcs

[lime shuttle]

I just do <context.player>

uhhh i am not sure

i gotta dip but i can play around w it later if i find the time

[lime shuttle]

npc_handler:
    type: world
    events:
        on npc stuck npc:npc_flagged:illusion_npc:
            - announce stuck!!
            - teleport <npc> <npc.location.with_yaw[<util.random.decimal[-180].to[180]>].with_pitch[1]>
            - walk <npc> <npc.location.forward[15]> speed:1.5```

the event fires but it doesnt seem to teleport them nor make them walk unless Im wrong

ah

after seems to work

Well in that case swimming wont be necessary. Doubt I'll need it any time soon too. Thanks for the help as always!
