So looking at this line:



I have a couple of questions.

1. What does the value mean exactly? I'm assuming "front" refers to the front of the NPC, but what does "MAIN" refer to?
2. Since it is termed a "waypoint", are we going to be able to script NPCs to walk to certain locations, if not also follow the player?

@TheMohawkNinja

Both are possible.

"#front:MAIN" means NPC walks to player (main character).
Other variants are "#back:MAIN" in which case the NPC walk towards player and turns her back to player.
Or "#turn:MAIN" in which case character only turns towards player.

You can also use "#front:SAIKO" in which case the character walk towards other NPC.

You can also use waypoint = "sit_bed" in which the character walks to static waypoint (at specific location).
The NPC automatically plans the path to avoids obstacles. In case of collision with player the NPC stops and tries again later.

Okay, basically event handler for NLP. Can you pass a function by name instead of using the function literal?

@modderman

You could use:

tit.jiggle.you.set =
{
start_jiggle();
}

//--------------------------------

<jiggle>

...... // code

</jiggle>


or even:

tit.jiggle.you.set =
{
loc.s = "start_";
loc.s += "jiggle"

<*loc.s>(); // Calls function with name of string loc.s
}


N.b.
The function 'tit.jiggle.you.set' is actually a variable with type code.
So you are able to execute variables when they are of type code.

Functions are not type code then? Can not do?

Also how does asterisk modify function names?

@modderman

'tit.jiggle.you.set = jiggle', would assign a string value to the variable 'tit.jiggle.you.set'.
So the type of 'tit.jiggle.you.set' would become a string.

You could also do 'tit.jiggle.you.set = 10' in which case the type of 'tit.jiggle.you.set' would become an integer.

By doing tit.jiggle.you.set = {...} it would get type code and the variable would be able to be executed.

//-------------------------

The * ensures the value of loc.s is used instead of 'loc.s' itself.

So <tit.jiggle.you.set>(); will execute the code variable 'tit.jiggle.you.set' and
<*tit.jiggle.you.set>(); will call the a function that has the name of the value of variable 'tit.jiggle.you.set'.

But this is more advanced programming, only needed in special cases.

We saw it being used

I'm sorry, when was this? and where?

I want to see Saiko jigglin', btw are there any swimsuits for Monica or Saiko?

@weipai

Sorry no swimsuits, only underwear. It is possible to make them using modding (not very difficult).

Possible to blend in some swaying like idle anim? She looking robotic.
