Could you please make a toggle option for whether or not an NPC will be iinvincible r not?

armor_groups = {fleshy=100},
on_destruct = function(self, hitter)
	if self.npc_id then
		npcf:unload(self.npc_id)
	end
end,

SAMIAMNOT wrote:Great!
Also, I'm building a sort of gladiator stadium and usuing your deco NPCs as spectators, and noticed that Deco NPC settings are universal for all NPC. I don't mind at all; it make things easier for me, but it's still a glitch.

I have, however, noticed that it is actually being used by a few people and so decided it deserved little love :3

Although not quite ready for public consumption yet, I have just pushed my 'next generation' branch upstream for testing purposes. This is pretty much a ground-up rewrite of the core so I'd be interested to read the findings of those who do.

https://github.com/stujones11/minetest- ... ee/npcf_ng (requires a recent dev build of minetest)

Note that there is now a new example mob npc, you probably wanna disable that one for now as it is hightly destructive! (you have been warned)

tinkerlevu wrote:hey stu... you haven't linked in any 3d meshes for the builder or the info npc. I managed to change the lua files to use the decor npc mesh and it works fine but you might want to look into that. also the trading with the trader npc is broken

stu wrote:This mod adds some, hopefully useful, non-player characters to the minetest game.
The mod also provides a framework for others to create and manage their own custom NPCs.

Features currently include overhead name tags, formspec handling, ownership and management,
file based backups and automatic duplicate entity removal. (experimental)

These NPC's are not craftable although by default will be available in the creative menu.
Servers would be encouraged to override this default and allocate the NPCs on /give basis.

I was waiting for minetest 0.4.8 to release this, however, it is getting so big now
that I felt It should be posted so that others can help me debug.

Spoiler

To spawn NPCs find for the appropriate spwner in the creative inventory. Place the spawner at
position you want your NPC to spawn then right-click and give the NPC a unique name.

Once spawned, try 'sneak' left/right clicking to tweak the NPC's look direction and position.

Example NPCs currently include:

# Info NPC

The Info NPC is a simple information serving character. You could think of them as a
human book providing information about a particular server location, or whatever else you like.
Supports multiple pages of text. 12 lines per page, ~50 chars per line.

# Deco NPC

A purely decorative NPC, can be set to roam freely and/or follow random players it encounters.

# Guard NPC

Protect yourself and your property against other players and mobs. Features 3d weapon and armor.
Can be left to guard a certain area or set to follow their owner.

# Trader NPC

Provides a quantity based exchange system. The owner can set a given number of exchanges.
This would likely be best used in conjunction with one of the physical currency mods.

# Builder NPC

Not really much point to this atm other than it's really fun to watch. By default, they can only
build a basic hut, however this is compatible (or so it seems) with all the schematics included in
Dan Duncombe's instabuild mod. These should be automatically available for selection if you have
the instabuild mod installed.

See README.md for more information.

*Please note that this modpack is still very much a work in progress, expect to find bugs.
Not recommended for well developed worlds or public servers at this time.
