Guest Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 How do I make it so after a certain NPC spawns, it despawns after x milliseconds? (e.g. 10,000) I would like to use this to make a necromancer spell and I don't want EVERY NPC ON THE MAP to despawn thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially this would be a pet/summoning system, and would need an editor to control. Doing it exclusively through events, would be bad even if an alteration to the event system could be made to despawn only 1 npc. Reason being, what happens when you warp or move across an npc avoid? Your pseudo pet no longer follows you, so it's not a true pet system. With a proper system in place, you could easily summon the necromancer pet via skill (have a set duration etc) without headache.

0 Zetasis Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 What @Xenogene is saying is that you need a proper pet system in place to do this. There is currently no proper pet system in intersect. Now, using events as you have, you can set a timer with the wait command. After that simply have it despawn the npc that has been spawned.

Expand Unfortunately the events do not allow for despawning a specific npc, at least yet. However, in theory that would be one way to do it.

0 Acheron_VI Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I did this.. For one you'll need a separate NPC and for two it can't follow you if that's what you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Acheron_VI Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 @The Bunny Gamer To answer your question fully, here's what you'll need. It's simple. A common event that will spawn and despawn the NPC after some set time. Then the spell that runs this event. That's it, tweak it to your needs... *Note it cannot follow you.

0 Kibbelz Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 You will only spawn and despawn npcs that have been spawned via the event system. So this discludes map npcs. Acheron_VI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Be carefull with that, the way events run may stop the despawn if the player dies/warps before that momment, and the npc would be there until someone kills it or until some other player runs a npc despawn command.
