Old Joined NPC Topic

[Niemand]

I remember from somewhere a lengthy thread which detailed the research a couple of people had done into what I recall being a rather sophisticated method for working around joined NPCs not running their scripts properly/normally. I thought it was in the BoA forum on SV, and I looked here too, but I can't find it for anything. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I'm not sure about the thread, but there was a script that's probably related to what you were looking for at the Blades Forge.

[Niemand]

Ah, that's it. I can probably find the thread now too if I look taking the date into account. Thanks!

 

EDIT: To clarify matters: It seems that this idea appeared during blades chat (which I may have missed, at any rate I don't have a log from it), but the organizing thread associated with it can be found here.

Just remember, it was designed to allow a join NPC to use a script other than basicnpc so be sure to create a script tailored to the NPC.

[Niemand]

Well yeah, that's why I want it. Who wants basicnpc? By using my own creature script I'll be able to have a character who's even more useless in combat than he would otherwise be.

Would you mind posting the discussion if you find it?

Bit of a long discussion, but it can be found here.
