Couple of questions about adding npc's

[jimbox114]

I have finnally gotten npc's to stay in the zone after reboot, death, etc. However there is a couple of problems I am having.

1. When I attack a npc and then run away, they do not chase me. The mobs that was allready put together in the database chase you just fine, just the ones I make do not.

2. How do you face them a different direction, all of them face the same way.

3. How do you get a added npc to use a loot table? I have edited a loot table for a certain set of mobs to use useing eqemu admin. However when I try to set the npc's to use it, they won't accept it. I can change the npc's that was allready in the database, but not the ones I created.

All of the mobs I created I did by useing the #spawn and then #npcspawn create commands.

You have to set their runspeed and walkspeed to something. 0 means they are perma-rooted.

2. How do you face them a different direction, all of them face the same way.

Find the spawn2 entry for the npc and theres a field called 'heading' that determines which direction they face

In the npc_types table there's a field called 'loottable_id' change this for that particular npc.
