NPC Paths

[BoosterPL]

Hello!

I've got a question about NPCs system in MTA. Is there any way to prevent NPSc from stopping when there are no players around them? Let's take a simple bus route for an example. I can't find any way to make an NPC drive around the map.

Let me put it this way.

Is there any chance for us to see packets recording for an NPC? It would be really usefull for creating train drivers and delivery systems for example. At the moment we need a real player to sync NPCs.

Considering MTA's current architecture I doubt it.

The server has no physical understanding of the world. It only distributes data from remote clients.

If you map out the train tracks you can calculate how far the train was supposed to go.

Using interpolation (interpolateBetween) you can get an approximate location from your calculated value with little math.

And is there any efficient way to create bus lines?

You can use the vehicle nodes from the GPS resource and make a route with that.
