Spawning Enemies

[C-Dawg]

I'm not sure how this is done in the current Zscript. Is it yet possible to spawn enemies?

[jman2050]

Yes. Use CreateNPC() to make a new enemy, then set the attributes of the resulting npcs like you would an item or FFC. Look in the ZScript documentation for details.

Also, I believe there's a topic in beta discussion where DN laid out the entire enemy definitions and constants, which should help in determining how you want to construct the enemy.

[_L_]

Yes, but when will setting NPC variables be implemented?

[DarkDragon]

_L_, it should be working in b15. Is it not?

[C-Dawg]

CreateNPC isn't working now. At least, the syntax isn't obvious.

This doesn't compile:

npc spawned_enemy = CreateNPC(enemy_id);
spawned_enemy->X = this->X
spawned_enemy->Y = this->Y

Compiler doesn't like the first line, says I need an identifier.

[DarkDragon]

Yes, the NPC commands will be new in b15; I was pretty sure I'd added them before I left.
