Ok I want to know how to re-activate a NPC after sending the player to a room....The player has to kill the monsters in a certain time limit (But I don't want a timer to be seen) Once the monsters all die in the list being spawned in groups, then the NPC will talk again....

Could someone type out a simple mock up script with the code lines on how I could add all of this.....Thanks alot!


Edit:

I guess the Arena Scripts will be fine to work around with....I'm not so sure

you could use something like

OnMyMobDead:
enablenpc "blabla"

Ok...but how does that effect time? I want like 200 porings dead in 1hour unknowing of a timer from the players...If the porings are killed before the time then the NPC will do the rest....

If the player doesn't kill the Porings in 1 hour then the NPC will not bother the player and reset the Porings...repeating the script again....

Get it?

npc "map" "Name me" SPRITE X Y Fa Xr Yr
OnInit:
	SetGlobalVar "monsterskilled" 0
return

OnClick:
	var monkilled = GetGlobalVar "monsterskilled"
	if monkilled == 0
		dialog "[Name]"
		dialog "Some nonsense text"
		wait
		choose menu "Spawn Mobs" "Leave"
		case 1
			dialog "[Name]"
			dialog "OK..."
			dialog "Dont take to long;)"
			close
			InitTimer
			cmdothernpc "Name2" "hideme"
			callmonster "map" MOBNAME "shown name" X Y
		break
		case 2
			dialog "[Name]"
			dialog "Fine, Bye then"
			close
		break
		endchoose
	else
		dialog "[Name]"
		dialog "Well killed..."
		close
	endif
return

OnMyMobDeath:
	if npcv "Name" [VAR_MYMOBCOUNT] == 0
		cmdothernpc "Name2" "showme"
		SetGlobalVar "monsterskilled" 1
	endif
return

OnTimer: 60000 //one minute after spawning
	if npcv "Name" [VAR_MYMOBCOUNT] > 0
		resetmymob
	endif
	cmdothernpc "name2" "showme"
	stoptimer
return

npc "map" "Name2" SPRITE X Y Fa Xr Yr
OnCommand: "showme"
	enablenpc "Name Me"
return

OnCommand: "hideme"
	disablenpc "Name Me"
return

I think this should do, its been a while since i wrote aegis scripts so it might contain errors <_<

Thanks! Well yeah some of the scripting isn't correct, but Nice job on trying to get back into the Groove. It means alot!
Anyways, I guess I need to explain alittle further how the script should work, 1st off, I have no idea what OnInit means I think it means once your in the same map of it....Not sure..

But as for the script, theres no NPC visable, it's the HIDDEN one, so that it's like a automatic NPC that pops on for the person who kills the last monster with-in that time. So there isn't any OnClick needed or menus...It just gives a message and rewards the player, If they killed the monster in that time frame.

If not then nothing happens and resets, Just like you have....So It'll be great if you could rearrange the script to being somthing like that. Thanks again!

OnInit is fired when the zone initially compiles the script on start up
as far as i remember the only events usable for player interaction (showing a dialog, giving items and so on) are OnTouch which gets fired when a player gets near the npc and OnClick which gets triggered when the npc is clicked.
stuff like OnCommand, OnTimer and OnMyMobDeath dont are triggered by the script itself, atleast thats how they worked with the last zone i got my hands on (asb4 i think)
so i doubt that it would work the way you described it, unless they changed the way the events work in the newer zones that hit the board

OK so heres what I was able to create Error free....But it's still not 100% what I want....Infact, Some extra functions are needed which I need a helping hand on too....

I was messing around with some commands and was able to learn how to make a it warp you, and change pallet...Tho. thats not important, i was just messing around....Whats important is whats the diffrences between Ontimer and Countdown?

Now there are 2 other important factors to this system, once the player kills that monster needed, it'll need to confirm if your a player so that the system doesn't get abused.

SO, heres what I need:
Once the NPC dialog appears and asks for the #, Which I wanted a Random colorized word number to appear(or somthing close) inside the Dialog box...and have it inputed next with-in 30 secs.
(i've looked for ways for this command line, and I seem to not be able to code it correctly...plz help)

Look at my coding to see what I'm talking about near the end, and also please confirm if this script resets once it's used also...

So in the end, Player walks into map > Player kills X'amount monster in Time> NPC talks to Player> Player Confirms #> Player Gets Prize. And if no one kills the monsters in that time it resets! Tah Dah! lol....<_< I hope you can help out more with this....Thanks!

EDIT:
Well i figured out the Random thing Color thing, and Inputing a Answer in thing....All was found in the niflheim_npc_ryu.sc

I'm editing it now and placing it together in my script.....Now the Next thing I need to know is the Timing the Dialog Box and the answer input....
