Q: How to invoke all players in a map

[Domo]

I need a script that invokes all players in a map.

Example: The script once activated will open a dialogue box on every character in that map.

Q2: If anyone can answer: If possible, I can make an NPC appear in any map location once coords are given.

To trigger a npc for everyone in the map use getunits() combined with addtimer(). You can also use maptimer() from the area timer functions.

To move a npc, use unitwarp()

Do you really need addtimer or timers in general?

I really just plan on making a manually activated NPC that makes dialogue boxes pop up :grimace:

Also, thank you for the unitwarp.

.@count = getunits(BL_PC, .@units[0], "map_name");

for (.@i = 0; .@i < .@count; ++.@i) {
addtimer(0, "npc::event", .@units[.@i]);
}


You can use a timer of 0 ticks if you want it instantly

Thank you very much, meko
