LIB_SENTIENT

[shadyman]

As far as SetCommandResponse, SetEmoteResponse, etc go, it'd be nice if we could make the NPCs not only say, but do actions in response.

I don't have the code in front of me, but does anyone have any ideas?

If I recall correctly, you can have them do actions.  All you would need to do is something like this:

Code: [Select]

    SetEmoteResponses( ([
        "smile": (: do_function :),
    ]) );

Afterward, you just need to make the do_function() or whatever you wish them to do.

is there a way to set a talk response that works off "say" as opposed to "ask <mob>"?

That is exactly how talk responses work. It is command responses that key on "ask".

well, Crat:

i did read the sentient thing, no worries, and i programmed a sentient.  but here's what i want (perhaps my question was not clear):

right now, i can do this:

Code: [Select]

ask ollivader what's a wand?
You ask, "Ollivader what's a wand?"
Ollivander asks in English, "Do you want me to explain wands?"
but i can't do this:

Code: [Select]

say what's a wand?
You ask in Common, "What's a wand?"
** nothing happens**

... and i totally just realized my mistake!! wow.  ok, i thought "ask ollivander" was a part of the syntax, when it was really just "ask" that triggers the talk response! gah

is there a way to make it work with say as well?  because saying with a question transforms to asking, but yet it doesn't trigger a response.

Code: [Select]

#include <lib.h>

inherit LIB_SENTIENT;

static void create() {
    sentient::create();
    SetKeyName("zafo");
    SetId(({"dude"}));
    SetAdjectives(({"punk rock", "punkrock", "rock", "cool"}));
    SetShort("Zafo");
    SetLong("Zafo is a cool dude, and totally punk rock.");
    SetLevel(1);
    SetRace("human");
    SetClass("fighter");
    SetGender("male");
    SetInventory( ([
        "/domains/town/armor/jacket" : "wear jacket",
        "/domains/town/armor/pants" : "wear pants",
        "/domains/town/armor/boot_l" : "wear left boot",
        "/domains/town/armor/boot_r" : "wear right boot",
    ]) );
    SetTalkResponses( ([
        "s up" : "Nothin'.",
        "re you rebelling against" : "Waddaya got?",
    ]) );
}
void init(){
    sentient::init();
}

update zafo

Zafo wears a black leather boot.
You clone Zafo ( /domains/town/npc/zafo.c ).
Dead Souls Omega /domains/town/npc >
'what're you rebelling against?
You ask in Common, "What're you rebelling against?"
Zafo asks in English, "Waddaya got?"

As you can see it works ok. You'll notice, though, that
Zafo speaks English and I speak Common. Since Zafo
is level 1 (a newbie) he can understand me. When I
set his level above MAX_NEWBIE_LEVEL, though, he
hears what I say as gibberish, because he doesn't grok
Common. That is probably what is happening in your case.

If that's what you're running into, then just add this
to your NPC's create() function:

SetPolyglot(1);

And that'll fix him right up.

Sadly that's not a QCS option yet, you'll have to
add it with an editor, but I'll add it for a future release.

ahh, interesting!  the mud i usually play on only has one language (generally speaking) so it never even crossed my mind that it might be that, wow

yes, i've mostly been using a manual editor as opposed to the QCS anyways i think i might just set english only and then be done with it.  thanks a lot, Crat
