<npc.name> tag in world script

[Mateo_]

Hey guys,
I am trying to make an inventory menu that narrates some stuff after choosing an option.

I've made a format script with <npc.name> tag but it couldn't be filled in that world script (on player clicks TestGUI_menu_yes in TestGUI_menu:).

Is there an option how to determine how the <npc.tag> has to be filled in that world script so that I wouldn't have to write the name manually?

Here is the script for better undestanding:

I came up with this:

Doesn't seem to be very effective... (it works tho)

You could add to the narrate commands an NPC argument, of the form like npc:<server.flag[relevantNPC]>

How exactly? I haven't met with that yet.
I assume I should flag that NPC at the start of the interact script

[mcmonkey]

Assign a flag with the value "<npc>" while it's available, however/whenever/wherever needed to track it correctly. Then just use that argument mentioned above on the end of any command that needs it, with npc: and then a tag that will read the flag.

Code: Select all

npc:<server.flag[relevantNPC]>

returns either true or false, so it wouldn't parse that NPCs name, would it?

[mcmonkey]

That shouldn't be returning a true/false at all...
It returns whatever value you put in it. In this case you'd be putting an NPC object in it.

Okay, I have put there npc:n@id, works fine - is it better to use the server flag?

[mcmonkey]

... Yes. It is better to use the flag.

I mean, I still have to put it on the end of every narrate command (as written above)
