Inactive NPCs
 
Just about all the NPCs in shops or locations are stationary. These NPCs, if they're completely blocked off from players, should be programmed to be taking on tasks. It would give the game a little more realism.

Examples: In the mineral store an NPC could be walking back and forth hauling rocks.

I really like the post office where NPCs are typing on computers. Well done.

Ganis will take FOREVER.. Sorry, not gonna happen.

It's a big update and quite unique depending on what the NPC's purpose is. It is a brilliant idea and we have thought about it but unfortunately we do not have the man power nor the time to follow it through. If you want to help and contribute the gani's then I'll be more than happy to add them :)

Testbed is actually for scripting even when players mostly use it to abuse stuff

No since the walking part would be scripted and there is already a walking gani, mining ganis and so on are done aswell.

I like this idea.

I'd love to, but I know nothing about gani's. I'm just an idea man. :(

Id much rather prefer the NPCs handed out tasks then walk around :3

Sadly, another idea though. Scripting is a foreign language to me :(

Ganis take awhile, I only made one and it took me 16 days just to make a NPC move...

Than itīs just you. Ganis donīt take such a long time. Also mostly if you want to have a NPC move, you script the moving and you just set the walking "look". The actual moving of the x/y coordinate is scripted all the way.

That involves more work than I ever do with the x and y like its only done for me in Algebra and Geometry is pass... I suck at mapping coordinates...

PHP Code:
function onCreated() {
  onTimeOut();
}

function onTimeOut() {
  this.x += 0.5;
  this.y += 0.5;
  settimer(0.5);
}
