Question about duplicating

[Munchkin]

Does duplicating NPCs cause too much memory?

Same as an NPC that only gives item and mes?

It does not have permanent variables, only temporary play and npc variables, and a lot of mes "";

Cos in my server, i plan to separate at least 10 headgear quest per NPC... that goes about 20+ NPCs...

and a mall with NPC per job ))

Just curious because i can read topics in which their server lag cos of many NPCs... if it causes lag then i will just lessen it >.<

I don't think so, you can safely create/duplicate lots of NPCs.

As far as I know, NPCs only use memory if they're being used by players.

Duplicate NPC don't duplicate NPC script/memory.

It just create an object on the map and when you click/touch or run an event on it, it redirect the action to the original script, so you don't duplicate the script, the variables, etc.

(You can compare it to a shortcut icon in your desktop, it don't duplicate the original file).

NPC will not cause problems on your server.
