How do I go about get NPC/Object ID's, Tile X/Y and more?

[holic]

The title says all really. Is there a client you use that lists those values or just write a script to manually print everything out?
I'd like to start scripting again, using reflection, but I can't figure out the values I need.

program Test;
{$DEFINE SMART}
{$i Reflection/Reflection.simba}

var
Npcs: TReflectNpcArray;
I: Integer;

begin
Reflect.Setup;
Npcs.GetAll;
for I := 0 to High(Npcs) do
begin
WriteLn(Npcs[I].GetName);
WriteLn(Npcs[I].GetTile);
end;
end;

With the Lape include you can search for npc's and Interactable objects Via names, so you shouldn't need to look up anything unless I misunderstand your question.

Thanks for your answer. I guess it wasn't all in the title, my bad.

I'm just thinking back to older clients in which you could turn on debugging for NPCs, objects, or items and they would have their IDs listed above them on screen. I was curious if there was anything like that these days or if everyone just wrote simple scripts to output the values they needed.

Interesting. I'm used to using IDs rather than names for objects but I'll just search by name.

You should be able to search by ID already. Searching by name is inefficient.

Yeah you can search by Id, though the advantage is quite negligible..

{$i Reflection/Reflection.simba}

var
Npcs: TReflectNpcArray;
I: Integer;
Names, Ids: Extended;
C: TReflectTimer;

begin
Reflect.Setup;
C.Start;
for I := 0 to 5000 do
begin
Npcs.Get('Banker');
Names := Names + C.ElapsedTime;
C.Restart;
end;
for I := 0 to 5000 do
begin
Npcs.Get(2898);
Ids := Ids + C.ElapsedTime;
C.Restart;
end;
Names := Names / 5001;
Ids := Ids / 5001;
WriteLn('Average time for Name searching: ' + ToStr(Names) + 'ms');
WriteLn('Average time for Id searching: ' + ToStr(Ids) + 'ms');
end;

Cheers guys. In this case, I need to search by ID.
This has been very helpful.
