In game npc creator? as in map editor npc creator

Unturned II U4 Discussion

It would be FREAKING AWESOME if you could create npcs ingame instead of having to edit the code and having all the problems with it not working… Cough…cough…(Id’s and dialog) Cough… cough. If we did it this way it would be MUCH easier to create npcs, also if you could add atributes to navigation tiles ingame for mission or etc. Tell me your other ideas for unturned 4.0

NPC’s are easy to make. It’s also easy to be lazy.

I think what he’s suggesting is not that, but the ability for a server owner to plop a NPC for certain purposes, like a vendor, without having to create edit the map.
Like an admin tool.

Doubtful. The OP heavily implies he means making actual NPCs for a map, not some sort of plugin for spawning them on that specific server.

NPCs are fairly easy to make once you get the hang of it, but I agree for this to be a sort of medium-priority thing. After all, the simpler, the better.

PROTIP: Sometimes NPCs will not work if you have copy files and modified them (rightfully so, I do the same) but use this site to generate GUIDs (the long ID with like 16 or so letters and numbers at the top of the .txt file)
https://www.guidgenerator.com/online-guid-generator.aspx
Uncheck Hyphens and whenever you create a new text file generate a new GUID and paste it into your text file.

Also, for keeping IDs in mind I recommend just making a notepad file and noting every ID, and use some big numbers like 7000 for example (and continue from there with 7001, 7002, 7003.) I also recommend even if you don’t really need it, to keep IDs from different things (like a Character and a Dialogue) to have the same ID. It’s unnecessary but it gets less confusing when you have a lot of files.

Never do that. The game always auto-generates GUIDs when none is present. Using external tools to do this will be more likely to cause conflicting GUIDs.

Copy-paste a relevant .dat file’s content, and delete the top line. You don’t need to make your own GUID, you shouldn’t use the original’s GUID, you don’t need a third-party tool to make a GUID, and you don’t need to leave blank lines at the top.

Just let the game do all of it. I’ve seen this thrown around a lot by people, particularly on the subreddit a while back, and I’m not sure why.

The problem I’ve had is when I try to make a vendor situation, it always breaks the npc I can get the npc to look how I want it to look and sometimes get it to say what I want but, Whenever I try to have him sell stuff or other options he/she just disappears from my map and isn’t in the editor. I’ve followed all the steps but just can’t get it right

Copy-paste of some of your attempts? Sounds like an error you made in the Asset.dat.

havent really tried much more after what I just put

You didn’t let the game generate your GUIDs. Delete all the GUIDs from your custom Asset.dat files and let the game generate them when you launch the game.

Alright I’ll see if that fixes it

alright it didnt do anything :confused: the npc still doesnt show up, I deleted all the GUIDs, but just a quick question, how is the game supposed to know files go with each other? I made this file a long time ago.,

You put in the IDs of the dialogue/vendor/NPC it should be pulling from. Example:

GUID faddca2f0d7d42579c88ffee75f9a89c
Type Dialogue
ID 59

It would be a paid tool(something like “unturned creator studio”). So it would be worth to make
