Greetings. Can i get uid of creature from worldgem bit spawn point?

No, there is no way, you can check with forchars though and look for memory_isspawned, here's an example

Code:

[function getuidfromspawn]

local.uid=<uid>

forchars <strarg <streat <streat <morep>>>>

  if (<memoryfindtype.0200.link>==<local.uid>)

    local.return=<uid>

  endif

endfor

return <local.return>

Use it from the worldgem bit, assuming it is the default object in the code below

Code:

if (<uid.<getuidfromspawn>.ischar>)

  uid.<getuidfromspawn>.say Hello, my UID is: <getuidfromspawn>

endif

Hm, but NPC may be far away from the spawn point. I want write own system for lost NPC teleportation. I should check with timer, how long away from spawn NPC. Put memory item on every NPC ? I think it's too expensive.. check all npc with forinstances? Maybe expensive too? So i though maybe spawn point can control NPC.

Use TIMERF Art. Rather than a memory object, that'll save some resources, here's an example:

Code:

[function lostnpcteleport]

if (<memoryfindtype.0200>)

  if (<distance <memoryfindtype.0200.link>> >= 50) //50 tile away or more?

    go=<memoryfindtype.0200.link.p> //teleport to the spawn gem

  endif

  timerf 60, lostnpcteleport

endif

Then on your NPCs in @create add:

Code:

timerf 60, npclostteleport
