Having Problems with NPC with sabers

[Zappa_0]

I am having problems of them spawning and not using the right color I want them to have. I have it to a certain color, but its random, how to fix this?

[Codja X]

Post your .npc file here and we'll have a look

Is Grevious's random or does his come out red?

They're all CLASS_JEDI, so that would probably explain why they are random. Try CLASS_KYLE for blue saber and CLASS_LUKE for green saber.

You may want to try specifying numbers instead of typing the actual colour in (1=red for example). I'll check it out myself when I get home tonight as i've got a couple of npcs that need sorting out as well.

[Zappa_0]

Grevious is random too....

[Codja X]

Just had a go myself and it seems to work okay for me:

In game console, npc spawn jedi_red

Works okay. Have you tried putting them into separate npc files? I'm not overly sure why that would get it working, but it's worth a go

[Zappa_0]

Just tried that, and still the same outcome.

[Tinny]

See where it says saber single_8? Go to the .saber files and make sure the saber you want is set to the color you want for whichever saber you want your npc to use.

[Zappa_0]

Yep tinny your right...the saber color for most of the sabers are random.

[Codja X]

I think i'll stick to mapping in the future

[Zappa_0]

You got any maps out codja X?

[Codja X]

Not out yet, but i've a WIP in action - based on the Clone Wars cartoons and set on Muunilinst:

or

and a more updated version:

Nowhere near finished yet though

[Zappa_0]

WOW thats nice!

[razorace]

Is there any reason why you're not working with the Clone Wars mod?

2 reasons:

1) time, and
2) my very recently fried motherboard
3) My job involves targets and deadlines, so when it comes to mapping (which is a hobby), I like to work at my own pace and not have other people relying on me and vice versa etc

The lack of time is probably my biggest enemy though. Maybe I should simply stop sleeping

[razorace]

Ah, well, we're not exactly picky about deadlines.

SaberColor is a number, not a word. You can use NPC Tool for coding them more easily.
