Whether you’re new to this feature or looking to expand your knowledge, this guide will provide you with valuable insights and practical tips to enhance your gameplay experience.

Exploring Factions in Custom NPCs

When it comes to Custom NPCs, factions play a crucial role in determining how characters interact with each other. By assigning factions to NPCs, you can control their behavior towards other individuals in the game. Let's break down the key components of factions:

Understanding Faction Types

  • Aggressive: NPCs belonging to an aggressive faction will attack friendly factions. This creates conflict and dynamic gameplay scenarios.
  • Friendly: On the contrary, friendly NPCs coexist peacefully with others unless provoked.

Configuring Factions

To set up factions, follow these steps:

  1. Use the wand tool to select an NPC.
  2. Navigate to the global settings and access the factions tab.
  3. Assign the NPC to either the aggressive or friendly faction based on your desired gameplay dynamics.

Advanced Faction Settings

  • Attack Hostile Factions: Enable this option to allow NPCs to engage in combat with hostile factions.
  • Defend Faction Members: NPCs will come to the aid of allied members under attack.
  • On Death Actions: Customize the consequences of an NPC's death on faction relations. For example, increasing friendly points on the demise of an aggressive NPC.

Creating Teams

By allocating NPCs to different factions, such as the blue team and red team, you can simulate intense battles and strategic confrontations within your gameplay environment. Equipping NPCs with distinct armor and weapons further enhances the team identification and overall immersion.

Crafting Engaging Conversations

Dialogue between NPCs adds depth and personality to your gaming world. Here’s how you can script compelling conversations:

  1. Select the NPC and access the conversation settings.
  2. Define the speaker's name and dialogue lines to create engaging exchanges.
  3. Experiment with various responses and interactions to bring characters to life.
