NPC Movement/Facing During Hail Interaction

Anyone know if you can disable how an NPC turns and faces the PC who hails them? Trying to lock down a few non-humanoid type quest NPC from reacting visually to a hail.

Appreciate the help!

In npc.cpp function DoQuestPause there are calls to FaceTarget.

I am not skilled enough yet for cpp stuff. Appreciate the offer though!

I don't know the purpose of this NPC, or what his/her/it's interaction includes, however, if it's just a passive/"busy" type of NPC, you may be able to make use of npc_emotes table, then place a value in the corresponding 'emoteid' column in the npc_types table.

It mildly annoys me to see a chest moving around like that :)

Well, it currently looks like this:

Code:

void NPC::DoQuestPause(Mob *other) {

    if(IsMoving() && !IsOnHatelist(other)) {

        PauseWandering(RuleI(NPC, SayPauseTimeInSec));

        FaceTarget(other);

    } else if(!IsMoving()) {

        FaceTarget(other);

    }

}

You could probably do something like this (assuming your chests don't ever move):

Code:

void NPC::DoQuestPause(Mob *other) {

    if(IsMoving() && !IsOnHatelist(other)) {

        PauseWandering(RuleI(NPC, SayPauseTimeInSec));

        FaceTarget(other);        

    } else if(!IsMoving() && GetRace() != 378 && GetRace() != 589 && GetRace() != 590) {

        FaceTarget(other);

    }

}

Well, if someone went around talking to a chest, seeing it move wouldn't be much crazier.

KC suggested what I would've depending on your reply, run with that.
