Introduction
Since 12th August 2011, OpenSim had provided a number of functions for creating and manipulating NPCs. These replace the previous functions, that had stopped working by OpenSim 0.7.1.1 (possibly broken since OpenSim 0.6.9).
The general philosophy in creating these new functions is to
- Give script writers the simple tools needed to create more sophisticated behaviour.
- Avoid duplicating existing LSL and OSSL functions. For instance, finding out what state an agent is in can be done through llGetAgentInfo() rather than creating a special NPC function.
NPCs are controlled via a script which must be in the same region as the NPC. This could be housed in an attachment that is attached to the avatar.
NPCs created user these scripts cannot leave the region in which they were born. If you want region crossing behaviour, please look at the options on the NPC wiki page.
NPC appearance is saved and loaded by serializing the appearance data structure to a notecard present in the same prim as the script. The required textures should be preserved when an OAR is saved and loaded.
This functionality is at an early stage and method signatures could change, certainly before the release of OpenSim 0.7.2. However, we hope to avoid this.
Functions
Create and Remove
osNpcCreate
osNpcCreate(string firstname, string lastname, vector position, string notecard):key
The notecard is the name of the notecard containing a serialized avatar appearance, or its asset UUID. In previous versions of create, the user UUID could also be used, assuming that they were logged in to the region. However, for security and interface simplicity, this option has been removed. Please save an appearance to a notecard first, using osOwnerSaveAppearance() or osAgentSaveAppearance().
If the NPC is successfully created, then its user id is returned, which is required for all subsequent functions.
osNpcRemove
osNpcRemove(key npc):void
Remove the given avatar from the region.
Get and Set
osNpcGetRot
Gets the rotation of the avatar. Only the rotation around the Z plane in Euler rotation (horizontal rotation) has any meaning.
osNpcGetRot(key npc):rotation
osNpcSetRot
osNpcSetRot(key npc, rotation rot):void
Set the rotation of the avatar. Only setting the rotation in the Z plane in Euler rotation will have any meaningful effect (turning the avatar to point in one direction or another). Setting X or Y Euler values will result in the avatar rotating in an undefined manner.
osNpcGetPos
osNpcGetPos(key npc):vector
Return the current position of the NPC.
osNpcMoveToTarget
osNpcMoveToTarget(key npc, vector target, int options):void
Move the avatar to a given target over time. How the avatar will get there depends on the following options.
* OS_NPC_FLY - Fly the avatar to the given position. The avatar will not land unless the OS_NPC_LAND_AT_TARGET option is also given. * OS_NPC_NO_FLY - Do not fly to the target. The NPC will attempt to walk to the location. If it's up in the air then the avatar will keep bouncing hopeless until another move target is given or the move is stopped * OS_NPC_LAND_AT_TARGET - If given and the avatar is flying, then it will land when it reaches the target. If OS_NPC_NO_FLY is given then this option has no effect.
OS_NPC_FLY and OS_NPC_NO_FLY are options that cannot be combined - the avatar will end up doing one or the other. If you want the avatar to fly and land at the target, then OS_NPC_LAND_AT_TARGET must be combined with OS_NPC_FLY. For instance,
osNpcMoveToTarget(npc, llGetPos() + <9,9,5>, OS_NPC_FLY|OS_NPC_LAND_AT_TARGET);
osNpcStopMoveToTarget
osNpcStopMoveToTarget(key npc):void
Stop a current move to a target.
Communication
osNpcSay
osNpcSay(key npc, string message):void
Get the NPC to say the given message.
Appearance
osOwnerSaveAppearance
osAgentSaveAppearance
osNpcSaveAppearance
osNpcSaveAppearance(key npc, string notecardName):key
osNpcLoadAppearance
osNpcLoadAppearance(key npc, string notecardNameOrUuid):void
