The Ghostly NPC Bug

Are you certain this isn't a pathgrid issue? If you place obstacles over an existing pathgrid then actors will try to pass through the obstacle. If you alter the pathgrid to fit around the new obstacles, actors should not attempt to pass through the obstacles.

Looks like Realmeleven answered this question: sounds like it is probably caused by a pathgrid not matching the cell changes. Thanks!

Aye, that was a damn impressive post there, RealmEleven. Very nice, very thorough. Great contribution.

Where is RealmEleven's post? --HawkFest 03:56, 15 February 2009 (EST)

He added it to the page; it's still in there. Edit, I guess, rather than post. You can use the history to see exactly what he added if you like.

About the section "Adding Multiple Items with the Same Script"

I've never ever experienced what the author says. I'm adding 7 distinct items within the same frame to a container, while at the same time 4 other containers in the same cell are adding 2 to 4 distinct items to themselves, and it never crashed nor any odd thing, which was tested on a high-end and low-end machine. Hence, the author should explain the exact context instead of making this some "generic" behavior when adding multiple items: are those items have onAdd blocks (the 7 items I was talking about all have onAdd, menumode and gamemode blocks)? Are they adding other items from their own onAdd blocks? If the author saw the problem, then he/she should be able to give the context (those mentioned never gave me any problem, although I didn't try adding an item which itself adds another Item from within its onAdd block), however it's too vague... Weird.

Actually, the sole problem I've encountered was when two (or more) distinct items with the same script attached are added at the same time... --HawkFest 04:03, 15 February 2009 (EST)

You might want to try PMing dev_akm about it on the Forums. He does check the Wiki occasionally, so you can try his talk page, but a PM is likely to be much faster. Unfortunately, I've never experimented with this kind of thing before, so all I can do is tell you who wrote that bit.

You should definitely report back here with any new information, though. Thanks!
