    The issue of scripting sitting people has been almost done to death I guess, 
    but here's one more of those: a mass-sitting sript. This is for one of those 
    areas where you mostly need static people, sitting and staring into their 
    drinks. A way-inn where players spend only a short time, for example.
    
    This is placed into area's OnEnter. No need to create custom OnSpawns for 
    each NPC just to have them sit down. Just insert the tags of NPCs and chairs 
    into string 'SitString', separate with commas, and let the magic happen. 
    Look at the example to see how its done.
    
    The chairs, naturally, need the generic scrip that allows them to be sat 
    upon. I've included it at the bottom just in case.

// A generic script to sit down a bunch of creatures. Place this to
// area's OnEnter - no more hassle with custom onSpawns just to have
// a character sit. ^_^

//
// The string SitString is a comma-separated list alternating the tagnames
// of characters to sit and chairs they will sit upon. See the code for
// a short example.

void main()
{
   string SitString = "npc_01,chair_01,elf_mage,stool_10";
   int Pos = 0;
   int Pos_prev = 0;
   int Length = GetStringLength (SitString);
   string This_pos = "";
   string Npc = "";
   string Chair = "";
   while (Pos < Length) {
      This_pos = GetSubString (SitString, Pos, 1);
      if (This_pos == "," && Npc == "")
      {
         Npc = GetSubString (SitString, Pos_prev, (Pos - Pos_prev));
         Pos_prev = Pos+1;
      }
      else if (This_pos == "," && Chair == "" || Pos == Length -1)
      {
         if (Pos != Length -1) Chair = GetSubString (SitString, Pos_prev, (Pos - Pos_prev));
         if (Pos == Length -1) Chair = GetSubString (SitString, Pos_prev, (Pos - Pos_prev)+1);
         Pos_prev = Pos+1;
      }
      if (Npc != "" && Chair != "") {
         AssignCommand (GetObjectByTag (Npc), ActionInteractObject (GetObjectByTag (Chair)));
         Npc = "";
         Chair = "";
      }
      Pos++;
   }
}
      
    
    
    
    
    
    
// Generic sittable chair script
void main()
{
   object oChair = OBJECT_SELF;
   if (GetIsObjectValid(oChair) && !GetIsObjectValid (GetSittingCreature (oChair))) AssignCommand (GetLastUsedBy(), ActionSit(oChair));
}

The sit script... WHERE do I put this? in the OnUsed script for that chair????

Posted by timothyshade ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2003-01-27 06:55:00

so in your script where it says:
npc_01,chair_01,elf_mage,stool_10
Do you just keep adding the tags of your NPCs and the
chairs they are supposed to sit in? So I coudl add 10 NPCs
if I wanted to as long as there are 10 seats?
