3. Created a third class called instance_control from stuff in your first post.


Haven't attempted to post the first bit of code you posted that creates the instance, but when I copy-paste the code from the InstanceManager text in the zip file into the NPC, I get those errors. The other things seem to be fine.

Is this how it's supposed to be set up? I tried joining a level NPC to the code in each one of those three classes I made, but it still doesn't fix the problem which seems to be coming from the NPC instead.
"instance_main" probably needs to be just "instance" (just guessing from your naming what you did, but there should be an "instance" class). It's the base instance, not an actual usable instance, so "instance_main" doesn't really make sense. The NPC expects the class to be named just "instance" which is the root of your trouble.

I wrote out these instructions later on (in case you didn't see them):

  2. Upload the scripts in the archive attached to the OP, making these changes to the script InstanceManager before hitting "apply":
    • Change the temp path
    • Change the unstick path
    Note: Since it is a SCRIPT, the code for the InstanceManager goes into the NPC's SCRIPT.


  3. Create your instance class (e.g. "quest_instance") from the code in the OP, adjusting it for your situation.


  4. Add your instance type to the script of the InstanceManager, using the commented-out easter map instance type as an example (as stated in OP).


  5. Copy the code in the OP for creating a new instance, adapt it into your code. For example, a door that warps players to a new quest instance:


Congratulations, you're now using instances.
