question on NPC

[rut1630]

As far as I'm pretty new in NPC subject, I have some quesions:

1) I realized that for making NPC mechanism, I need to extends java code.
As far as I have a little experience with java (I write C++ and AS3),
could you give me a few guide lines on how to make such extention- something basic and simple will do.

2) which developing tool do you suggest, to develop the java code on ?


Thanks alot

Please also read the SmartFoxServer documentation about extensions and NPCs.

2) which developing tool do you suggest, to develop the java code on ?

We use Eclipse.

How do I make NPC perform custom action?

[Bax]

You should send your own response from the server to the client, containing your custom parameters and the id of the npc user. The retrieve a reference to the avatar by means of the OpenSpace.getAvatarById method and pass your custom parameters to it, using a custom method.

There's function called setMyAvatarAction() in clientside API, which triggers PC avatar's onCustomAction event. How do I do it serverside for NPC?

[Bax]

You can't. That method uses the sendObject method of the SmartFoxServer API, which in SFS v1 is not available on the server side.
