I'm making a script for a minigame and also does combat, but I have a few design choice questions.
1. For talking to an NPC to start the minigame, how should I go about it?
Currently I have it to use ACA and FindObjTPA to locate the NPC and talk to him, but it doesn't always find him on the first try due to issues being able to paint him well with ACA (His armor blends in with the surroundings unfortunately well), but I can make this work with decent consistency its just that at certain angles it doesn't always work, which irks me.
Would it be more viable to use a DTM since he doesn't move? And does simba automatically say, Take into account your camera angle when searching for a dtm or how would I account for that.
2. For Attacking an npc. Should I use the above ACA,FindObjTPA method or something else? This is probably the most viable solution for attacking I'd imagine or have seen so far.
BTW I apologize in advance if something in here is easily answered by another thread, I have looked through several tutorials as well as scripts, but this is just one of those "Fine tuning" answers I could not find elsewhere.
Another question: What is the absolute best way to interact with NPCs/monsters that is foolproof. (I noticed in one script that had to do with runespan there seemed to be some pretty advanced stuff going on, but i'm not experienced enough yet to completely decipher it)
Thanks in advance for your time!
