NPC activated events

[Push]

It's been a while since I've used Intersect, trying out the new Beta 6;

 

Is there a way to have an NPC activate an event?
I tried to use an event based spell but that still doesn't seem to work.

Events are tied to players by design. Only players can trigger or have events, so npcs with event spells won't do anything.

What do you mean NPC activate an event?

If I give an NPC (enemy) a spell that should activate an event, nothing happens.

So the spell is set to 'Event', and the NPC is given that spell to be able to cast.
If a player uses that spell, the event triggers, but an NPC given that spell, the event does not trigger.

do you say you want an event to start when the player uses a spell?

 

isn't it easier to put 1 event on the map that activates the function that you would like npc to activate?

I'd like to have the NPC use a spell that triggers an event.
So let's say the event triggers NPCs to spawn, i'd like the NPC with that spell to spawn NPCs everytime it casts that spell.

At the moment, NPCs cannot trigger any events as spells.

The only sort of work around is by using many events on the map that players trigger, but if it's open world NPC then the players can drag the NPC away from that map.

Thanks for the info JC
