What is CMD to an NPC take the item?
Also, what do Data1, Data2, Data3, and Data4 do with CMD?

No such CMD exists. The only way to *simulate* an NPC taking an item is to issue an NPC Move CMD (61) to move to or past the item, and ensure that right before the NPC reaches the item, the NPC steps on a general command button to deactivate or destroy the item.

For details on documented CMDs see Midnight Synergy's Editor reference.

For details on NPC CMDs see this post.

I knew that already! But I need CMD to an NPC take won of your items without move.. I'll look in adventures if i dont get help.

Your question was very confusing then, since it sounded like you want an NPC to pick up an item from the level, not to take away an item you already picked up. If you want an NPC to take away something from your inventory, you'll need to use dialog to do so:

See the table in the middle of the dialog tutorial, the row that has FN 5.

FN 5? Ok. but how to do player got the message (4) then that item is in your bucket. and then message (2) then its not in your bucket? Also ID?

Have you ever create a "shopping" dialog? You know, one where the merchant offers a number of things for sale, and if you have enough coins, the merchant will activate the item for you to pick up on the level and take away the number of coins from you? That's Fn 4.

Fn 5 is the same idea except that instead of number of coins, you specify the ID of the item to take away. The item that the player picks up must have an ID so that Fn 5 works. Here's an example:

Say player picks up a custom item with ID=1.

Dialog with some NPC:

interchange 0: Do you have the item?
answer 0: Yes.
Fn 5 FnData 1

interchange 1: Um, you don't actually have the item.
answer 0: Oops
Fn 1 FnData 0

interchange 2: Cool, thanks for the item.
answer 0: You're welcome
Fn 1 FnData 2.

If you start the dialog w/o an item with ID=1, then the Fn 5 will bring you to interchange 1. If you start the dialog w/ the item, then Fn 5 will skip ahead to interchange 2, and the item will be taken away from your inventory.

Thanks! Now I know it. Thanks!!

Make sure you set an ID for the item. That ID shouldn't be -1 for example.

If it's still not working, PM me your level and dialog files and I'll take a look.

Data is FN ID. And FNC need to be 5.

Hmm, I see your confusion.

A custom item's "Fn ID" is not the same as its "ID". To use here you need to set the item's "ID" (not "Fn ID") to match with the Data you use for FNC 5.

I knew it! I mean, ID is not the FN ID. all of custom items have a FN ID.

Well, there a test adventure....

Thank you.

Hey, what if you want to deactivate gates by pressing an answer to a dialog? Gates don't have ID!

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 9:21 pm

their id is 500* the number of the color.

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 10:23 pm

What if you want different answers to open different gates?

No it isn't, not exactly.

The formula for a gate's ID is:

500 + (5*color value of gate)

and for subcolours:

500 + (5*color value of gate) + (subcolour number (1-4))

What's the '*5 color value of the gate?'

the way to deactvate a gate is: the color value of the gate times 5, + 500
