// XE-Ryder KoJ's NPC Barmaid OnUserDefined //
//////////////////////////////////////////////
/*  This script has evolved over time and been greatly revised.
    Proper credit goes to David Gaider for the idea and original,
    then we have to credit Adam Miller for working it a bit better.
    This is where I got it and customized it quite a bit further. If
    someone else had a hand in this I am unawares, I pass it to you,
    the reader to enjoy.

    Place this in the OnUserDefined event of your barmaid and I
    suggest slowing her movement down a bit so they'll saunter around
    the tavern instead of power-walking! Set the nRandom number to the
    number of NPC's in the bar. Place a waypoint at the bar
    with tag WP_BAR and a Bartender with tag BARTEND close enough to
    give her the drinks. Place a waypoint where she should rest with
    tag WP_REST and a Cook with tag COOK close enough for her to confide
    in. While on her break you can make her face any way you like by entering
    it, look for the comment below. DIRECTION_WEST is the default.

    Make sure your NPC's have voicesets and they will speak once in awhile.
    Enter the direction to face while resting where indicated below so they
    don't look into a wall while on break. Follow tuning notes and comments
    below to get it working very easily. Don't forget to cut the OnSpawn
    script off the bottom and place in the OnSpawn event! Enjoy! XE :-)  */

Description

This is a handy performance based script that causes an NPC Barmaid to leave the Bar, seek out a random NPC �customer� in a bar and take their order. Then she walks to the Kitchen, asks for the order, and returns it to the �customer�. Finally, she will go back to the Bar to rest for a moment, sometimes making a comment to the bartender. It is two scripts that go just on the Barmaids OnUserDefined and OnSpawn events. Other NPC's interact and speak without scripting! The Barmaid, Bartender, Cook, and even Customers will occasionally use their voicesets to spice things up, so be sure everyone has a full voiceset for full effects. Follow the directions in the comment section including placing the Bartender, Cook, Two waypoints and choose a direction for them to face while on break and you are done! You can customize the chat lines to fit your PW. Original idea was David Gaider's and Adam Miller did some tuning on it before I picked it up and customized it further. I am unaware if anyone else contributed to the core code. Hope you find it useful! (Updated 12-31-05)

Hello folks! I still exist, but have been working so much I don't have too much time anymore.

If you have problems with any of my code, give me a shout! I will be happy to help you.

Expect some new coding toys to arrive soon!

Ninthletter, I was having the same problem. I found that it wasn't a script error, it was a pathing problem. My barmaid would go behind my makeshift bar to get the drinks from the bartender, turn and then sit there.
Once I moved the WP_BAR out from the bar a bit, she worked just fine. If you have a lot of tables or chairs in the way, you may want to try taking a few out and trying again.

I've been fighting this script for about a week. I don't want to give up on it because it seems like a great script should I get it working. Here is my problem. The barmaid runs the script, walks to the first customer and then does everything that you would expect her to, then she goes to take her break, comments to the bartend and he replies. At that point she just stands there. Now, I've uncommented 1001 and 1004 in the onspawn event, I've checked and rechecked the tags, the #include scripts, and run builds on the module (no errors), and I can't think what to check next. If anyone out there has run into this problem, please take a moment, and make a suggestion. Thanks, in advance.

This works incredibly well. Thank you for the Scripts.

Nice script, works well. Nothing much moe to add really, it just does it's job and does it without fuss. Just the sort of thing a builder needs.
