How can i make npc's that stand still even when i attack it

[Dagobah]

i'm trying to make a npc that is completely motionless,

 

the engine by default makes that When a player attack a NPC, it will follow the player. i would like to know any way i could make a npc that stand still completely

Put NPC avoids around it. Maybe movement speed 0?

[Ainz Ooal Gown]

Like Kas said place NPC avoids around it.

 

If you want it to always face the same direction, edit the sprite sheet and make all have same frame.

 

If you dont want to get damaged from NPC, put ts dam at "0".

Thanks so much for your answers! maybe you guys can teach me how to put my NPCs avoids around it? is it an option in the npc editor?

In the map editor you can block NPC's from walkin onto tiles!

[Dagobah]

oh i see, well i want to make a sandbox mechanic, my way to do it was to use npcs as blocks, that way i could summon and destroy elements anywhere, but to make them stand still i would be obligated to set every tile in the map as npc's avoids

 

i think i have to enter the source to change the call to attack the player if attacked or something like that, any suggestion?

ok i finally get it,

 

i justa have to enter the source and edit in this path: Intersect.Server/Entities/Npc

No npcs will be able to walk after that right? Maybe you should add an option to the editor to do so instead of blocking every NPC.

Yes that would happen and in the final i use an established option i use this condition: 

 

if (t.Despawnable && t.Base.Movement != (int)NpcMovement.StandStill) {

//calling movement and attack voids

 

}

 

that makes all the NPCs that are established as Stands Still in its movement will be totally immobile even if you attack them, and the NPCs that are established as turn randomly or move randomly will attack and move with normality.
