Remote NPC Attack

[Xuri]

By using the 'XATTACK command in this script, GMs can order NPC characters to attack a specific target. If they attack an innocent character, they will turn criminal & grey, so if a quest character attacks a player character, other player characters can fight the NPC without becoming criminals themselves.

To use this script, save it as xattack.js in UOX3\JS\COMMANDS\CUSTOM\, then open JSE_FILEASSOCIATIONS.SCP
and find the [COMMAND_SCRIPTS] sections. Scroll to the bottom of it, then add a line saying (for instance):

1051=commands/custom/xattack.js
(NOTE: Use a different (unique!) script-id if 1050 is already taken.)

// Remote NPC Attack
// v0.6
// by Xuri (xuri@uox3.org)
// Last Updated: 21/03/2021

// xattack lets GM characters command NPCs to attack other characters
// If the target being attacked is innocent (blue), the attacking NPC
// will become a criminal.
//
// endfight will take a targeted character and their immediate target out of combat,
// essentially ending the battle. This does not stop them from re-engaging after if they
// are hostile to each other, though!

I found a little problem here too. The command allows you to make the npc kill himself, LOL. The second target has to be another character other than the first target.

Only this. In the remainder, the script is 100%. Very good!
