Year 9 Day 270 13:28	Repeated names
Ryan Roche	I was wondering, since the Combine has millions of NPC that were created, is it possible that some have the same name? Exactly the same name? The name generator for the NPCs can make that mistake? Thanks. ____________ ~Ryan

Hal Breden	It's not a "mistake". NPC names are not meant to be unique. Hence the reason you can't issue an arrest warrant for an NPC unless you are at the same location. Their ID numbers are the unique identifier, not their names. Only PCs use handles as a unique identifier. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Ryan Roche	Yes, each NPC has it's own unique ID, but I was asking if there is an option when there will be two NPCs in the Combine named the same? Like Builder John Jones and Rifleman John Jones. They both have the same name but different IDs and class. I was just wondering if a situation like that is possible. ____________ ~Ryan

Hal Breden	Not only possible, but highly probable. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.
