Sometimes the best way to learn is by looking at some examples. The following beginner scripts use basic denizen commands and requirements to provide some nice basic functionality for your Denizens.
- Assignments should always be appended to plugins\Denizen\assignments.yml
- Scripts can be placed in any .yml file in the plugins\Denizen\scripts\ directory. Remember: You can have multiple scripts per file!
and now... the scripts!
Denizen Basics
Though Denizen can be very advanced, it can perform very simple tasks, as well. Most of the basics can be covered with a QUICK SCRIPT. Check out these examples.
The Click and Damage Triggers
Clicking on a Denizen NPC can activates the Click Trigger or Damage Trigger, depending on which buttom was pressed. This is probably the easiest and most straight-forward way to interact with a NPC. Be sure to turn on the Damage Trigger! (Use /denizen trigger toggle damage)
Code: Right click to speak, left click hurts! |

The Chat and Proximity Triggers
The two remaining Quick Script triggers are the Chat and Proximity Triggers. Chat will catch any text said near the Denizen NPC and intercept it. The Player's text is directed towards the NPC and the NPC can respond back. Proximity is triggered when the Player comes into a specified range. (Note: Proximity is not enabled by default, so select the NPC you desire to have the Prox. Trigger and type /denizen trigger toggle proximity)
Code: The worst therapist ever. |

Simple, random conversations
A great way to provide some nice immersion into your world is as simple as a basic interaction with a Denizen NPC outputting a random response. There are a couple different ways this can be done, as provided in the examples below. Since this concept is simple, it can be done with a Quick Script as well as an Interact Script.
A conversation with RANDOM
Code: Quick Script conversation with the RANDOM command. |

A conversation with ZAP RANDOM
Code: Interact Script conversation with the ZAP command. |

Notch's Cookies
Code: Notch loves cookies, and RANDOM chat. |

Multiple Scripts & Requirements
Random chat is nice, but controlling the flow of conversation and events is just as important. One of the best features of Denizen's Interact Scripts is the requirements system, which can be used to control multiple scripts. Imagine NPCs greeting players based on weather, or having conversations only when on a quest. For further understanding, you should check out [Denizen/Script Assignments#Multiple Scripts], but take these examples below to get a basic understanding.
A Simple Multiple Requirement Script
Code: Two scripts are better than one. |
{{{2}}} |
Script sequencing with the SCRIPT requirement
Another good way to control the flow of multiple scripts is by using the SCRIPT requirement, which can check if the player has completed or failed scripts. Since 'Quest, part 2' requires the completion of 'Quest, part 1', the player will be forced to complete the scripts in an order set forth by the arguments in the requirement.
Code: You must do them in order! |
{{{2}}} |
Script sequencing with FLAGS
This script is more of an intermediate script, but shows how flags can be used to control sequence of a script. In this example, multiple NPCs are part of this karma example. Note: Scottie's Script/Jason's Script/etc. are not shown, and aren't necessarily important to this example, but it is assumed that the player collects karma from these characters, somehow, one at a time.
Code: A sample 'Karma' reward system. |

Joe the Builder Script and Assignment |

---- assignments.yml ---- Denizens: 'Steve': #This is the name of the Denizen Interact Scripts: #These are the assigned interact scripts. The number before the script is the priority. - 0 Regular Joe - 10 ^Joe the Builder ---- script.yml ---- 'Regular Joe': Type: Interact Requirements: #There is no list of requirements, so this script can always be picked. That's why we assign it with low priority. Mode: None Steps: 1: Click Trigger: Script: #This sends a basic message to the interacting player. - CHAT "Hello <PLAYER>! I supply builders only!" Proximity Trigger: Script: #This sends a basic message to the player when he walks near. - CHAT "Hello <PLAYER>! Welcome to <WORLD>!" 'Joe the Builder': Type: Interact Requirements: Mode: All List: #Here we check if the player has this permission. If he does, this script is selected because it is higher priority. - PERMISSION modifyworld.* Steps: 1: Click Trigger: Script: - ENGAGE #Engage prevents all interaction with this NPC until DISENGAGE is called. - CHAT "Hello <PLAYER> the Builder! Take this shovel!" - GIVE WOOD_SPADE - WAIT 1 - CHAT "If you have any questions, just say 'help'" - FINISH #This increments the number of times this script (Joe The Builder) has been completed by this player. - DISENGAGE #This sets the NPC Interactable again. Chat Trigger: #There can be multiple entries under a Chat Trigger or Location Trigger node. Hence the 1: on the next line. 1: Trigger: I need some /help/ Script: - CHAT "Press 'e' to open your inventory, and drag the shovel to your item bar" - CHAT "Press the number 1-9 to select the shovel, then start digging!" |
Basic Repeatable Fetch Quest
Here is the fastest way to do a repeatable 'fetch' quest. Useful for custom crafting-type NPCs. Once the player agrees to help, he can turn in the items as often as he wants to receive the reward.

#--- assignments.yml ---- Denizens: John Q QuestGiver: Interact Scripts: - 0 StartFetch - 1 EndFetch #--- RepeatableFetchQuest.yml ---- StartQuest: Type: Interact Requirements: Mode: None Steps: 1: Click Trigger: Script: - CHAT "Hey, you there!" - CHAT "I have a special request of you!" - CHAT "Will you help me?" Chat Trigger: 1: Trigger: /Yes/. I will. Script: #Tell the player what to do. - CHAT "I need you to bring me some thing. For testing!" - WAIT 1 - CHAT "I need: 1 Iron Block, 1 Feather, and 3 Eggs." - WAIT 1 - CHAT "Come back when you have them and I will reward you!" #Set this script as finished, so we know they're on the quest - FINISH #set this script to step 2. So the player gets the hint message. - ZAP 2: Trigger: /No/. I will not. Script: - CHAT "Are you sure? OK. maybe later?" 2: Click Trigger: Script: - CHAT "Come back you have 1 Iron Block, 1 Feather, and 3 Eggs!" EndFetch: Type: Trigger Requirements: Mode: All List: #Here we check if they are on the quest and have the items. - FINISHED StartQuest - ITEM 42 1 - ITEM 288 1 - ITEM 344 3 Steps: '1': Click Trigger: Script: #Engage is used to keep the player from clicking twice. - ENGAGE - TAKE 42 QTY:1 - TAKE 288 QTY:1 - TAKE 344 QTY:3 - CHAT "Thank you so much! Here, take this as a reward!" - GIVE 133 QTY:1 - WAIT 1 - CHAT "Bring me those items again, and I'll give you another!" #Always disengagae after an Engage - DISENGAGE |
Basic Unrepeatable Fetch Quest
By adding 3 lines to the script above, it becomes un-repeatable.

The Race
Coach wants you to RUN, BOY! This script uses a TASK script and a Location trigger to make a timed race for the player. Good example of ZAP and RUNTASK/CANCELTASK command usage. Be sure and define a Location Bookmark called 'theTree' using the /denizen bookmark location
command. Be sure to turn on the Location Trigger for this NPC! (Use /denizen trigger toggle location)
