Npc

Signature

{npc(type):[id]}

Description

Gets the name of a NPC.

It's usually used to set the speaker name in a dialog.

Arguments

Type

The are a total of 8 types (0 -> 7) which control how the identifier argument is processed.

If its higher than 0, e.g. 2 (common), the identifier value will be directly used. If its 0 (very rare), the identifier value will be used as a reference to a list that holds the real value.

This argument is optional, and will equal the value 2 if non-existent.

Identifier

The name identifier that refers to the dialogue entry x * 2 in the npcdic.bin file.

If the type is higher than 0, the number range is -32768 -> 32767. If its 0, the number range is 0 -> 127.

Notes

Every NPC has 2 names, one before meeting them, and one after.

Although it's possible to use a negative number as the identifier, doing so results in no name being retrieved at all.
