Hey! How can I show a entity? Like I want to show an NPC when something happens but I do not know how to point to the NPC

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

You could store the npc in a server flag and then reference it in your script

[analog ice]

Could you tell me how that is done? The storing part and referencing it in script?

!g flags

or

you can do

<npc[0]>

use the npcs id number

This would be much easier but I wonder why a downvote? 🤔

This is a bad way to handle things

It's like typing raw locations

!guide raw location

/ex flag server fancy_npc:<player.target> - while looking at it

/ex narrate <server.flag[fancy_npc]> - to call it

[bold valley]

but is an object tag

easier to reference

sometimes, raw olcations can be useful for inpoutting a value. for eg. i ahve a dungeon that generates instances in every world, and is always the same. so you provide a dungeon_name* wildcard

usually not the best way to do things tho

tldr, when you need a constant across multiple worlds

Could utilize world flags heh and then check world_flagged[xyz] in scripts
