gettime(3) comparison

[RifuI]

Hi there, I'm trying to get an NPC to spawn at different locations at different times. I want my NPC to be spawned at location x for y amount of time.

Here is my issue:

        if( .time >= 22 && .time < ???? )
        {
            enablenpc "Artifact Collector#03";
        }

The NPC is supposed to be on this map for 4 hours, between 10PM and 2AM.

OnClock0200:
OnInit:
//	sleep 1;
	if ( gettime(3) >= 22 || gettime(3) < 2 )
		enablenpc "Artifact Collector#03";
	else
		disablenpc "Artifact Collector#03";
	end;
}

Thank you. I just worked the logic out before you posted this. But your reply helped anyway as before hand I was disabling all npc's and then checking afterwards if they should be enabled. The else statement makes a lot more sense.

I'm still having issues with what I thought would be quick and easy =/.

OnInit loads before the NPC is actually enabled, so when the server starts I get an stating that the script isn't enabled when it goes to disable it.

I've included the whole script because there is probably a better way to do this, I also looked through the thread you linked in but couldn't work out how WoE starts when the server does if it's inside the alotted time.

    mes "Oh, it's just you.. the one from the Academy right?";
    mes "I'm sorry, it's really dark in here and all sorts of";
    mes "things are lurking around.";
    
    if (select("What are you doing here?:Just passing by.") == 1)
    {
        mes "I'm here studying the ancient artifacts.";
        mes "They have special properties and with the right magic";
        mes "one can craft powerful equipment imbued with the essence";
        mes "of their power.";

duplicating the npc will also make the OnInit: label runs

that's the trick I used in my mission board script to make the duplicated npcs run the script separately

without sorting

[paste=2vkoof8uc8l1]

with sorting

[paste=505oe7hgkwbg]

so in your script, the OnInit label only needs to run once

[paste=3v4ptyteddxl]

btw your

disablenpc "Artifact Collect#01";

has wrong spelling
