Hire Npcs

[dragon slayer]

I have made this script so you can hire fighters or what ever npc you put it on.

// This script uses regular expressions in it's searches. this allows to for instance include "hi", "hi!", and "hi?" as positive search results,
// while leaving out words where "hi" is simply a part of the word, like "hiking" or "hinder" or "hill".
// The regular expression is placed within two forward slashes, for instance /hello/. To make sure that the script only searches for the whole
// word "hello" and leaves off any preceeding or trailing letters/numbers/symbols, enclose the trigger-word in \b \b. Example: /\bhello\b/
// By adding an additional "i" behind the last forward slash, you specify that the search is case-insensitive, example: /\bhello\b/i

You can change the amount of gold he wants just by changing 250 to what ever you like.

I noticed you remarked out the introduction conditional so I replaced it with this in my version.
Now when you tell them 'hold' or obviously 'hold this for me wouldja pal?' etc they
open their pack and tell you to throw it in.

I always thought it was dumb I couldn't have my minions hold things for me.
think of the extra dimension of fun and annoyance from having your party member NPC die with his
packs bulging with loot.

Code: Select all

      if( Speech_Array[currObj].match( /\bhold\b/i ))    
        {

            myNPC.TurnToward( myPlayer );
	    myNPC.OpenLayer( myPlayer.socket, 0x15 );
            myNPC.TextMessage( "Just throw it in my pack." );
            return;
        }

Unfortunately I have discovered this code only works on the first account. everyone else is barred from adding things to the pack.

There is probably a hardcoded check on who can put items into other characters backpacks, though for NPCs there could possibly be a ownership check to see whether a given player should be allowed to add/remove items from their backpacks. Best way would be to allow overriding this from JS engine somehow though, if it's not already. I guess it could be done through the packet-hooking feature that allows overriding of individual packets and such. Hm.
