I want to insert another NPC in scene.
I saw demo with OldGay. It made by entity.
But I want make him walk in some cases and play different animations.
Also, I want to make him 3D.
So, what is my way ?
Add actor by:
actor = Game.LoadActor("actors\NCP\NCP1.act3D");
Game.MainObject = actor;
____________________________________
but it's MainObject..
or I should repeat OldGay way by

global OldGuy = Scene.LoadEntity("entities\oldguy\oldguy.entity");
OldGuy.SkipTo(505, 330);
_____________________________
What is difference ? I mean what is best for NCP ? To be an actor or to be entity ?

You have really great docs but I didn't found how to make NCP


P.S.  Now I made "it from" teapot

actor.Active = true;
if(!Game.IsItemTaken("NCP1))
{
  var Teapot = Scene.LoadActor3D("actors\NCP\NCP1.act3d");
  Teapot.SkipTo(1110, 504);
  Teapot.Direction = DI_DOWN;
}

he is standing and plays "idle" but he is not "clickable" and can't even talk with him

I tried to found something on forum but failed.
Is it too easy ? And nobody have questions about that ? ;(((

oh. NCP meanb NPC ;-)
Also, now I have modify script to:
// load our main actor
   global ncp = Game.LoadActor3D("actors\NCP\CNP1.act3d");
   Game.MainObject = ncp;
   ncp.SkipTo(200, 430);
   ncp.GoTo(600, 400);
   whore.Direction = DI_DOWN;

it works.. oh
And I've noticed to make something "clickable"(I mean to call menu) it should be intity. It's Ok with sprites but how to make 3D char. entity ?

[BorisC]

Gee...
I've wrote at NCP1.script
on "LookAt"
{
  actor.GoTo(171, 465);
  actor.TurnTo(DI_UPLEFT);

  actor.Talk("Blah, blah, blah");
}

and get menu I've wanted !
wheew !
Is that right way to insert NPC in scene/game ?

[Mnemonic]

1) To insert another 3D actor into scene, call something like:

global actor2 = Game.LoadActor3D("path\file.act3d");

2) To be "clickable", any object must have the .Interactive property set to true. Either in script, or in the actor definition file.

Additionally, as you found, the default scripts in wme_demo are written the way that the action menu doesn't show up if the object doesn't provide any of the "LookAt", "Talk" or "Take" handlers.

We inserted another 3d char, works fine, but they are walking through each other, how can we make them solid?

[odnorf]

There is no collision detection for 3D characters. Asuming that you have only one playable main character in the scene, you can put a blocked region beneath the NPC 3D character.

[Amo]

We have only one playable charakter too, but 2 NPC's walking around in the scene, at least it is planned to do that.
