This code is bad.
U cant put timer like that on npcs or players.
It will not work.

Anyway u dont need to make a forchars or anything if u are going to use @npcseenewplayer
Its not neccesary. The scripts we writte for u are usefull for "talk orders" or other ways, but not in this trigger.

Try this better on your ranger npc script.

Or this other in any npc u want.It makes npcs to attack and call rangers in area for help if they see a criminal.

i think this is the best way to do what u want...

thanks a lot, Kanibal and Rastrero.
I'm still learning and speak the sphere language with a little akcent :-)

Your help is very useful to gain in scripting.

Great idea, the "help yell" script.

Best regards, Lars

it it possible to add something like this to the script?

if (<karma> < -799) && ->>not tamed by anyone<<-

Best regards, Lars

i tried out this but id does not work:

if ((<karma> < -799) && (<ACTPRI> = null))

if karma less -799 and <ACTPRI> is not existing

The original post asked for rangers to attack monsters, not players. Also @SeeNewPlayer?! It should be @NPCSeeNewPlayer.

Just put this on your ranger's. Attach it in their core code or use events. Whichever you choose. Technically this is NOT what you asked for. If you get into more detail I can script what you originally wanted. You asked for Ranger's WITHIN Yell distance to attack for your char. This script works a bit different. This will fire off with a ranger in a sector that is not asleep. It will attack anything -800 or worse in karma and call for aid of other rangers within yell distance to attack that same target.

I think this is more what you were looking for. Add this via tspeech. When the NPC's hears a player yell for HELP. It will attack the first EVIL NPC within yell distance.

This can be refined more to store the players position and ranger's and only attack things within that distance. Though, we are getting awfully technical at that point.

Fixed a typo in the for call. I was too tired last night writing this. Sorry ^_^

Using Forchars also checks <distanceyell> in characters. Just use FOR.

on=@NPCLookAtChar
if (<src.karma> > -800)

if (<src.isowner> == 1)

attack <src.uid> // We will attack the mobile we see

Very nice! I think this works fine on my server. Many thanks for this.
