Strange issue with NPC equipping item
So, I have an NPC ive made and it has a trigger under it's chardef that is supposed to make it decide what item to equip during what circumstance
Here's the chunk of code that makes it decide what to do

Code:
on=@NPCActFight
if <argn1> <=2
  findid.i_axe.equip
  elseif <argn1> > 2
  findid.i_pumpkin_launcher.equip
endif

so what happens is that it actually equips the item on the player he is attacking. first it equips the bow on the player because he's typically more then 2 tiles away, then since he doesnt have anything in his hands he charges at the player, then when he's within 2 tiles it equips the axe onto the player.

am i using findid wrong? have I been away too long and lost my goddamn mind?

here's the whole thing chardef included

Code:
[CHARDEF c_headless_horseman]
ID=c_man
NAME=Headless Horseman
SOUND=snd_HUMAN_M_DIE_01
DAM=10,20
ARMOR=30
CAN=MT_WALK|MT_RUN|MT_EQUIP|MT_USEHANDS

RE: Strange issue with NPC equipping item
You have to do:
Code:
on=@NPCActFight
if <argn1> <=2
  equip <findid.i_axe>
elseif <argn1> > 2
  equip <findid.i_pumpkin_launcher>
endif

Using findid.i_axe.equip will cause the SRC to try to equip the weapon, and in @NpcActfight SRC is the player being attacked.
