Calculating the sleep timer for npcwalkto with npcspeed and distance

[Sehrentos]

Hey,

 

I'm not quite sure if this is the correct way to calculate the sleep time for the npc to move to another location.

 

Lets think it will move straight line with no blocks in its way to keep it simple.

 

Explained:

NPC will remove waiting room, do a map announce and starts to walk to another location. After it's finished walking it will disappear leaving the room for players.

 

Any suggestions or corrections?

OnStart:
	.@speed = 100;
	.@distance = distance(150,150,153,127);
	.@sleep = (.@distance * (.@speed * 10));
	kickwaitingroomall instance_npcname(strnpcinfo(0));
	delwaitingroom instance_npcname(strnpcinfo(0));
	mapannounce instance_mapname("prt_are01"),"Event will start. Get ready!",bc_map,"0x7799ff";
	npcspeed .@speed;
	npcwalkto 153,127;
	sleep .@sleep; 
	donpcevent instance_npcname("TestTimer#1_1")+"::OnEnable";
	donpcevent instance_npcname(strnpcinfo(0))+"::OnDisable";
	end;

Here is the full test script (if you need to take a closer look):

Why not just time how long it takes for the npc to travel one square... (.@distance * .@time_per_square_in_miliseconds);

 

Well if the movement speed is like iRO it's 0.15s per-square at the normal walk speed.

.@sleep = (.@distance * 150);

Thanks for the tip!

 

Tested it out. Works perfectly thank you.
