Just out of curiosity, are you using FPS mode, RPG mode, or Kart mode? (I'm assuming you aren't using the last one)

Ah, alrighty then. The next question would be, which version of Sandbox are you using? I'm assuming you're using 2.6.1. If that's the case, click on your Sandbox folder and double click on the folder titled docs. Once that's done, double click on the RPG-MODE_Readme.

I'd also recommend looking under data>rpg>and all files contained there because there really isn't a lot of documentation of RPG mode yet.

I know, however, the documentation on NPC's isn't really around so here's what we have so far: RPG Documentation

As of the next release. Current RPG scripting will be invalid as our wonderful RPG programmer (Hirato), Has replaced all the current RPG code with a different style. It seems that the newest RPG code is faster and more "to-the-point" than the previous version. I'll just say this to you andrew95434, Enjoy it while you can, 2.6.2 (2.7) will not include the current RPG-script.

When coding, you need to create a .cfg file for the coding which also has the name of your map as the prefix. Ex: mapname.ogz mapname.cfg

Might as well try this...

Create (or load) a map and save it as "rpgtestscript/map".
go to "my_stuff/rpg/rpgtestscript" and copy "map-art.cfg", paste it into the same folder and call it "map", inside the "map.cfg", type this:

Code: Select all

//RPG Script
//Provided by Leo_V117

Below that, start writing the code for your NPC's.
Thats it!

Hope this helps.
