NPCs & AI: Class #3

[nottlong]

Just hope I can put some of it to use. But it is fun.

[bearhugs]

Here is lesson 3. These are fun and I'm learning alot. Thanks InsanitySorrow.

[InsanitySorrow]

I'm glad you're enjoying the classes

I noticed your merchant chest is sticking up out of the ground a little, just for screenshots I guess, don't forget to move it back

You may move onto the last class

Hello IS

Homework section.

My new vendor is there but has no inventory.

I have added/deleted the custom container with persistent ref but no go.

I have gone through this step by step but must be missing something.

Any suggestions?

TY

[InsanitySorrow]

I'll need to know exactly what you have done , My best suggestion is to carefully read over the class and see what you may have missed.

[stankirby]

IS,

CS had crashed in between saves I guess.

The bookseller had no AI...................CS crashed.

Re-added the AI packs and all is good now.

Lots of pics this time I know we said no to collages, but I've combined some of the similar ones. Linkfest ensues:

I had one issue that you may want to mention for future classes. When I first ran the game, NPCs were getting stuck in the cart handles and walking next to boxes. I then revised the path markers in the cell underneath and immediately next to the new carts. This fixed things so that everyone acted as though the vendors were noticed by the public at large.

Path Issue

Path Markers Redone

[InsanitySorrow]

Looks good to me, you may move onto class 4

I've not had any issues with the paving myself, though the ESP is just for the class work so it's not too important

There!

I hope that's everything! Let me knowif anything is still needed.

Taking shots, converting, uploding and posting takes almost as much time as creating the NPC's in the irst place

And it's not nearly as much un ;-)

BTW, the script you suggested seemed to interfere with Art's ability to actually sell books, so I took it back off.

[InsanitySorrow]

The script is meant mostly as an example, you'd make special versions of the items you want to put on display and script those, that'd avoid the problems you mentioned.

You can move onto Class #4 now

Good grief I finally got around to this.

Very good KingCoin you may move onto the last class now

I tried to keep the number of screenshots as low as possible, that's why I'm not including any in-game ones. I've tested the ESP and it appears to work correctly, except by the fact that my High-Elf Vendor doesn't seem to want to sleep on the bed at the Merchant's Inn, probably because he doesn't own it, but I'm unsure how to handle that in this particular situation and that's why I chose to ignore it since it's not covered in the lesson.

Here are my screenshots:

Note: the link to the pre-made ESP is dead, but (fortunately) the original market resources used here are easy to find.
