[RunUO 1.0 Final/2.0 RC1] Talking, Training Npc's...

I use these to add a feeling of "Life" to towns and other areas where things feel "Dead".
They have some random phrases that they say when players are around and each one can train 2 basic skills. (Phrases and Skills are easily changeable).

They also have a large set of random clothing and titles so that they all appear different when spawned together.

Installation: Just drop in to you custom folder and either [add Commoner1 (change the number 1-6 to get the different NPC's) or add to spawner (same i.e. commoner1, commoner2, commoner3, and so on..... )

Hope these are helpful to some.
Enjoy.

Edit: Sorry for the problems, Changed to the right files.

Edit: Added the Personalized NPC's of commoner2, 4, 6. That way half just talk randomly and half will use the players name. If you want them all to use the players name the edits are here in this thread. Thank you very much ratzerna for the edits.

Just FYI, Scripts for Commoner2-6 are broken in that they have not had all the Commoner1 changed to Commoner[2-6] as required.
You also have spelling errors in that you reference to Utility.RandonNeutralHue rather than Utility.RandomNeutralHue.
Easy to fix, but not plug&play as it stands.

Sorry........

Sorry, was working on some changes and uploaded the wrong set of files. The problem is fixed now. Hope you enjoy them.

Nam01 · Jul 1, 2006

good

thank you works fine now

Ajax2000 · Jul 1, 2006

Nice script.

Any idea how to get the NPCs to say the players name as he walks by?

Like "Hello there Ajax, how are you today?"

penndragon · Jul 1, 2006

I'm sure there is a way to do it but it is beyond my scripting knoweledge..... sorry.....

Yodamaster1000 · Jul 6, 2006

hey sorry to bring up old stuff but... What exactly do you say to these guys to get them to train you?

penndragon · Jul 6, 2006

Just single click them. That brings up the train menu.

Yodamaster1000 · Jul 6, 2006

hmm, do i need any scripts on top of this one? they spawn fine and they talk fine, but i can't seem to get the train menu with a click or anything. Any ideas?

penndragon · Jul 6, 2006

They don't require any extra scripts. The only thing I can think of is that your skills are too high when you are trying to train. On a clean install they work fine here. They can only train to about 23 or 23 points. Try it with a new char is all I can think of.

Yodamaster1000 · Jul 7, 2006

FIGURED IT OUT! I was using Play UO from the begining and it would make my Razor Crash. So I assumed razor was not working. It would also make the server time out in character customization and YOUR SCRIPT not function. Play Uo is apparently really bad so that's where all my problems were comming from, this script is awesome man thanks.

penndragon · Jul 7, 2006

I'm glad you got it straightened out. Thanks for your support.

ratzerna · Jul 7, 2006

Here is the code from the PK NPC scripts I have:

Notice the {0} part of the String. That should fix you up on saying the player name. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's getting the name from the "Mobile from" being passed in. Worth a try. Should work with your SayRandom method.

Code:

        public override void OnDamage( int amount, Mobile from, bool willKill )
        {
            if ( from != null && !willKill && amount > 5 && from.Player && 5 > Utility.Random( 20 ) )
            {
                string[] toSay = new string[]
                {
                    "trammie noob",
                    "{0}!!  stupid nubi ganker!",
                    "OMG Gank Much???",
                    "{0}!!  piss off noob"
                };
                this.Say( true, String.Format( toSay[Utility.Random( toSay.Length )], from.Name ) );
            }
            
            base.OnDamage( amount, from, willKill );
        }

I just tested it on my test system and it appears to work. here is the modified code fragments.

Code:

        public Commoner1( Serial serial ) : base( serial )
        {
        }
        
                public override void OnMovement( Mobile m, Point3D oldLocation ) 
               {                                                    
                 if( m_Talked == false ) 
                 { 
                        if ( m.InRange( this, 1 ) ) 
                        {                
                          m_Talked = true; 
[B][COLOR=Red]                               SayRandom( kfcsay, this, m ); [/COLOR][/B]
                this.Move( GetDirectionTo( m.Location ) ); 
                SpamTimer t = new SpamTimer(); 
                t.Start(); 
                        } 
        } 
    }

Code:

[B][COLOR=Red]     private static void SayRandom( string[] say, Mobile m, Mobile t ) [/COLOR][/B]
    { 
        [B][COLOR=Red]m.Say( String.Format("{0}, " + say[Utility.Random( say.Length )] ,t.Name) ); [/COLOR][/B]
    }

penndragon · Jul 7, 2006

Thankyou so much....... I will give it a test also and if it stays stable I will update the package.

Thanks again.

ratzerna · Jul 7, 2006

You may not want to stick the "{0}, " in the SayRandom method though. If you make it part of your commoner sayings the String.Format should part should still work okay with the target.Name replacement.

That will give you the flexibility to have sayings with the Target name or just generic ramblings that could be for anybody.

npc's not showing the custome titles

fantastic idea I love it. adds just a litte life to the towns. everything works fine except they do not show the title next to thier name.
so I see bob , not bob the peasant
I set them so that the title represents sorta the skills they offer to train some static depending on the npc and a few that are random so that they all do not spawn the same skills. I also have them set to train up to a random up to a max 75 in the skills thay have. and adjusted some of the cloths to better represent thier proffession. here is one of my alterated scripts. I do not think I changed anything else. but I love what you have done with this thanks.

Code:

		"Are you from around here?",
		"Have you heard any good gossip?",
		"Have you ever ridden a dragon?",
		"I quit comeing to town when that tanner tried to pawn some ferret hides for my dragon scales",
		"Sorry. No time to talk.",
		"Where are you going?",
		"You look lost.",
		"Where has the day gone?",
		"Be safe",
		"Safe Travels",
		"Please give me a minute.",
		"Be kind to furry animals",
		"Will you help keep the forsests clean?",
		"You look tired",
		"You should rest",
		"You need Help?",
