[Solved] Apply a script to all NPCs in the level

[Super Mario Player]

I'd like to make a script that applies to every NPC in the level, without having to add scripts=mynpcscriptname to the .txt file of every enemy I use in the level - which would be kinda boring. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

From what I know there is no way to do it without adding scripts=XXX . But if you're too lazy you can easily made something automatic with Python, BATCH or any language.

Okay, that's too bad but I think I'll be able to handle it. BTW, thanks for the answer!

Here is a somewhat inefficient solution that may cause the frame rate to drop if your script is complex or too many NPCs are on the screen.
(executed when the level starts, needs a variable to work)

Code: Select all

Do
For v(a)=1 to sysval(NCount)
With NPC(v(a))
If .x>sysval(Player1scrX)-100 And .x<sysval(Player1scrX)+900 And .y>sysval(Player1scrY)-100 And .y<sysval(Player1scrY)+700 Then
'Your script goes here
End If
End With
Next
Call sleep(1)
Loop

Oh ! I didn't know about sysval(NCount) ! Useful if you don't want to modify AI of monsters !

Unfortunately, this script works only if used at level start or with NPCs created after the beginning of the stage. Thanks a lot anyway!
