How to make so a npc follow you?

[mariobox]

like this:

function OnCasthgasdadas(event, plr,spellid)
if (spellid == 61773) then
plr:SpawnCreature(69999, plr:GetX() +2, plr:GetY(), plr:GetZ(), plr:GetO(), plr:GetFaction(), 10000, 10000)
end
end

RegisterServerHook(10, "OnCasthgasdadas")


is ther any command to make a spawned npc to follow you? like

local plr = Unit:GetRandomPlayer(0)
Unit:Follow(plr:GetX() - 2, plr:GetY() - 2, plr:GetZ())

or anything?

[stoneharry]

pUnit:SetUnitToFollow(player, 2, 1)

pUnit = Unit that is following.
Player = the person it is following.
2 = Distance.
1 = Yes, 0 = stop following (documented as angle, but it not used as angle...).

I think it's not necessary to open a new thread so I write my problem here:

I made a simple script just to test if everything works. Whenever someone clicks on my NPC it starts to follow that player. The NPC starts following the "clicker" after 30 seconds. Shouldn't be this instant? After the click he just stays there, and after 30 seconds he follows perfectly. Anny suggestions?

Sounds like lag or the distance is too great, if the distance is too big it will take a while before the player gets far enough away for the creature to start following.

Well I used this: Unit:SetUnitToFollow(player, 2, 1). But I'll edit the distance to 1 then. By the way I forgot to tell you something what's maybe important: So when I click on him, he comes to me, when he reached me he stops then stays there for 30 seconds and follows me w/o any problem after.

In that case I have no idea, a distance of 2 should work fine. It sounds like a strange error that could only be affected by your revision. Try updating to a newer revision and see if that fixes it, else you might want to report it as a bug to ArcEmu.

If I remember correctly, the 30 seconds delay after talking to the NPC is an ArcEmu thing. All movement is stopped for 30 seconds upon talking to a NPC, this was introduced to make NPCs act like they do on retail; they too stop moving if you talk to them. I'll see if I can find the specific code that causes this so that you may disable it if you'd like to.

Found it in NPCHandler.cpp:

421	                //stop when talked to
422	                if(qst_giver->GetAIInterface())
423	                        qst_giver->GetAIInterface()->StopMovement(30000);

Comment this out if you want to disable that a NPC's stopped for 30 seconds after talking to him.

[bendaferi]

Thank you. That means if I rewrite it and let's say I tell the npc to follow the nearest player OnSpawn would work perfectly? I'll try it now, if that works I won't use the gossip one.

[Dynashock]

Yeah, that should work as long as the spawned NPC isn't interacted with through a gossip.

[bendaferi]

Disabled those lines and now works perfectly Thank you!
