Gobject Help pls.

[noxeterna]

ok,i know i have not posted much so far...im pretty new to this. but here goes. I started a realm with 3.2.2 Heroes of Northrend. Im pretty much testing this for fun and playing around with gobjects. Thing is i spawned a ship with many npcs on top (they are the mall vendors). Each time i go too far back or away from the ship, the ship vanishes and the npcs clip through. Any fixes or any solution is welcomed and would greatly make my day, week, hell month. Thanks in advance. Ill post the pictures of the stuff im working on when im done. Hopefully it will inspire some of you or give you ideas. Have fun and keep on moddin!!

Basically you need to go into your database, find "worldmap_info", and change the "viewingDistance" on all of the things to a high amount, e.g 8000.

You can do it one by one if you want, but this just makes game objects stick when you are further away. Rememeber to restart after though

Ohh the good old viewing distance, i remember when I couldn't figure out why the NPC's were falling and was frustrated for weeks on end

You can also make the gameobject static so that you can see it from wherever you are. What you do is, find the coords of the object, find the table called 'gameobject_staticspawns'. Add the ID you want, then the spawn ID, for entry, then the map, x, y, z coords. Then add the orientation for the 'facing' table. And i'm sure you can figure out the rest.

Thanks people. That worked excellent Been doing a lot of work on gm island to test out stuff and have fun. I followed another thread on making npc's fly like the maidens in ebonhold...went in creature_spawns changed the Canfly to 1 (tried it on the maidens themselves since they cant fly either...) Restarted server with no results. Any clue as to why this is happening. Id really like to have some illidan npcs floating around with warglaives . Anyhow. THANKS again +Rep to all of you (if i could) Will post pictures soon.

You need to add flying waypoints to them

Write ".waypoint" for more info ingame.

[Ibex08]

Kiev is correct, but I must point out that the NPC must have the "canfly" flag enabled, im sure this can be done under .npc

[noxeterna]

Ok, so i added the flying waypoing, went through my creature_spawn found the Battle-Maiden and set her canfly to 1. Restarted server...no results. Mind you the flying waypoing worked but she just hoves there with no flying animation. Do i have to respawn her or something? And another big bobo i found in heroes of northrend a LOT of npc are broken...they dont even attack you. I tried running Onyxia last night all npcs just stood there. I could initiate combat, back away and combat would cease. Any ideas would be very welcomed. Thanks for replying once again guys. And thanks for you support.

Probably a error with the core/database, not sure on a fix.

As for your earlier problem, they will only get the animation if its defined in the displayid. (You cant change it if it isn't i beelive)

I wouldn't change the map distance to 8000 more like 2000. But make sure you do it for every map.

[noxeterna]

hum, does that mean it would be better for me to change repack/core? Cause there are a lot of bugged npcs who won't attack...and since im no programer myself...well fixing this sorta stuff could be a pain. I am willing to learn mind you. but let me know if there is a good repack i could use instead of heroes of northrend 3.2.2. I wanna get a fun-server started for a bunch of friends in quebec. Thanks in advance.

I'd reccomend compiling your own, but make sure you get a updated database, theres loads of guides in the guides.
