Initnpctimer within a function

[PedroProplayer]

I'm working on an anti-bot script for my server. The player has a given time to reply before being flagged as a potential bot.

The script works fine while I was making it inside a NPC script. I then moved it to a function and made the NPC call the function, and now the timer doesn't attach to the character.

yuno_fild01,125,119,0	script	captcha	611,5,5,{

	attachnpctimer;
	initnpctimer;

The above part works. However, when I changed it to this:

yuno_fild01,125,119,0	script	captcha::patrol01	611,5,5,{

	callfunc "botpatrol",strcharinfo(0),strnpcinfo(2);

}

function	script	botpatrol	{

	attachnpctimer;
	initnpctimer;

At first I thought that I had to pass the RID and NPC names as arguments into the function but that didn't work. Am I missing something here?

Also the documentation for initnpctimer is terrible. What the hell is a an "attach flag"? Is it expecting a 1(true)? Or is it expecting a character name? Or the RID number?

an initnpctimer won't work on function script because that is not NPC.
You better use doevent on the function script.
