canbepushed, templates
 

canbepushed/canbepulled - I think these would be a lot cooler if they went in one-pixel increments instead of one-tile like the push and pull blocks...
I also still think it would be spiffy if we could send in more default NPCs like the Fung Si Yan NPC template Stefan made...so like, a Door, and poof it's there, it works and people stop asking me how to make one...
a shopkeeper...
a push/pull block that resets itself...
cool stuff like that. ^_^

Don't help the lazy people :p If they want to know how, then they should learn it themselves or find something to look at :)

While that may work in theory, in practice they just ask me. It's amazing, people ask me how to make a horse. Or set a midi. They can't be arsed to read ANYTHING.

It's sort of possible to make your own slow push/pull withouth having to script a whole complex script for it, you can use "actionpush" and "actionpull", in those #p(0) is always the push/pull direction... I'm just not sure how often one of those actions is automattically sent while pushing.

Yes there will be a new npc panel in some
future version, where it just looks for script
files in a folder levels/npcs or so and makes it
possible to just drag&drop it onto the level,

may be with supporting stuff like
this.speed = edit.Speed;
and it will automatically display a text box
where you can enter the speed and will
replace all occurances of edit.Speed by the
entered number before the npc is created

There was something similar made by Bruges
but I guess its not getting too popular if
its not built-in

Stefan, will you host my sig?
