Denizen/0.7/Example Scripts/Beginner Scripts

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.

Example scripts are provided with both the assignments and the scripts in the same box. Be sure and put the text in the correct file in your plugins folder.

• 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!

A small random conversation

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.

Code: Quick Script conversation with the RANDOM command.

Joe the Builder

This is the script from the start-up kit. It's 2 interact scripts assigned to 1 Denizen named Steve. He will respond different to a right-click by a player depending on whether or not the player has the modifyworld.* permission.

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>!"

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.

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.
