NPCs on the Map.

[Sym2001]

Stefan, you should make a command like:

showonmap;


that way if you make a boat, or a train the players will be able to see the NPC on the map, like where it is and what not. And with the NPC, just make a head for its icon.

Good ?

[Sym2001]

No-one likes that idea? I think it would be great. Not only for my playerworld but for all. Wouldnt you like it if you could see where the train was on G2k1? or where the Boats are?

^_^

[Tyhm]

I think they even have one on G2K2, with the spider....

[Sym2001]

I know there is a way to do it.

showimg
changeimvis

etc..

but that would be kinda hard to make it show up on the map, lots of hard math work. It would be much easier if there was a command.

[WHIPENIE4]

I agree , would be easier and would be quite usefull too, Like if you want to show when i player is done a quest a red dot were the quest was so that he/she knows she already did it... hmmm *idea* .........
or were major places are ex. Towns ,

or when there holding an event you can use the command to but an image on were the event is so ppl know were to go.... directions can be tricky sometimes when your new...

Nah, I've checked and that's part of the minimap image.

[WHIPENIE4]

Along with the sword and something else... but i cant remember... They should of made it when you go into an improtant house it shows it on the map like an image :|

[Tyhm]

Oh well. In that case yeah, that option would rox0r.

[Sym2001]

I would like to have it.

It would work great for New Andor. We are gonna make a sweet transit system. 2 Boats that go from Island to Island, come every 10 mins or so. Its gonna cost Gralats of course. I would like to be able to show the players the location of the boats on the map. Then there is the Train. I would like to make more, like Chariots and stuff. Would be cool.

[WHIPENIE4]

Wow , Andor sounds like its going to be really good!!

[Oladahn]

Could be usefull.

[Infamy]

Yes i checked Andor out just a few days ago and it looks promising but lets wait and see

[Jinx]

I'd sure find it useful.

-Jinx

[Falcor]

Useful, for maybe 1 specific thing =\,

[Sym2001]

I could use it for lots of things. ^_^

[Falcor]

besides putting an npc image on a map?

[Faheria_GP2]

it shouldn't be limited to the npc's image, maybe something like

showonmap trainicon.png;

would be more useful, maybe it could shrink the image is too large? but then again, if you are too dumb to shrink an image yourself, you shouldn't be working on a PW...
