I´m thinking about a faction system that allow npcs player attack other npcs, even if there is no player near around.

I had used till now the @NpcSeeNewTrigger to see if there is any enemy nearby, but this is a bit expensive if every npc has to trigger that script every 5 seconds.

What trigger or system would you use to attack npcs with one specified Tag:

For example, how to attack every npc who has TAG.Faction not equal the npc TAG.Faction,
and in a cheap way of course. Tongue

Thanks in advance.

best option i can provide is a timerf function that loops every minute or two, example:

Code:

[function f_faction_npcattack]

local.uid=<uid>

forchars <serv.distancetalk>

  if (<npc>)

    if (<tag0.faction>)

      uid.<local.uid>.attack=<uid>

      break

    endif

  endif

endfor

timerf 60, f_faction_npcattack

You can chance the interval of timerf to a higher amount to use less resources.

Finally I did it with @NPCLookAtChar trigger.

This trigger fires a lot, but it fires every time a npc look other npc, so it is pretty fast in combat situations. But cheap... it is not cheap in resources. Smile
