NPCs in other levels not loading?

I'm not sure if gmaps have always acted like this, but NPC scripts outside the player's level on a gmap aren't running.

I have a ladder that draws itself on the clientside, using showimg. However, the showimg hides if the player leaves the single level with the NPC in it.
So, if I'm a level below, I won't see the ladder. If I'm a level to the left, I won't see the ladder.

Is there any way to change/fix this?

EDIT: Kai, well Skyld cleared it up. Clientside only uses the one level you're in, on the gmap. Is there any way to make it load NPCs outside the level?

That's too much trouble, these NPCs are made so that idiots can easily place them.. :/

And yeah, the ladder is 3 seperate images; the top, the bottom, and each rung.

That's why I love ganis.

I am not sure what the problem is, scripts are ran for all npcs in the surrounding 3x3 levels. The level name #L/#F might not match, but everything else is fine, otherwise the lamps on Era or Kingdoms wouldn't work.

hmm... maybe your NPCs are in a weird level border position (although I doubt it?)?

I tried to put it in a gani, but it still only shows if you're in the same level..
Perhaps it's just me?
If anyone could, log on Aetherforge. The gmap should be 2x3. At the very bottom, you won't see the ladder, but you can still climb it. If you jump up the platforms to your right and go over to the ladder, you'll be able to see it since you entered the same level.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (created) {

  hideimgs(0,100);

  for (a = 0; a <= params[0] + 1; a++) {

    if (a == 0) {

      showimg(a,"tom_ladder3.png",x,y);

    }

    else if (a == params[0]+1) {

      showimg(a,"tom_ladders2.png",x,y+(45/16)+(34/16)*(a-1));

    }

    else {

      showimg(a,"tom_ladder.png",x,y+(45/16)+(34/16)*(a-1));

    }

    findimg(a).layer = 0;

  }

}
