Christian Hall	So I have a custom NPC. Now I'm trying to make awesome scripts like KOTOR had, but I've run into a problem! Things like !if npc.ally! trip me up. How do I get the NPC's IFF changed? ____________

Tiali Bixa-Loca	Wouldn't the NPC share their 'owners' IFF list?

Ellias Aubec	The NPC will use the IFF lists of the owner of the NPC, and compare it with the IFF of the person talking to them. Although some did say that it wasn't working exactly or something. ____________

Drega Loas	Although I have not checked recently, I made a bug report about my NPC riflemen not recognizing me as an ally, but did know I was its "boss". This was a military NPC though and not a custom... ____________

Tiali Bixa-Loca	Sounds like a grunt with a brain to me :P

Drega Loas	^^ As long as it does not shoot the "Boss", I'll be happy. ____________

Christian Hall	Ok yeah, thats the problem. It's not using my IFF. I assume I don't need to report it since Drega did. ____________

Ellias Aubec	I tested this on dev, and it works fine. As with all IFF stuff, you need to have them on your list, and you on theirs. Think sensor sharing. Otherwise, if you think about it, you could switch you IFF to whatever, chat with them, then switch back. Which is not right. ____________

Christian Hall	I couldn't add him to my IFF list, if that is what you are referring to. ____________

Ellias Aubec	Owner is added to IFF - NPCs use their owners IFF lists tc. ____________

Drega Loas	So if you're using a faction IFF list that you are not on, the NPC will not know you are its ally? I assume this because the NPC will also use the faction IFF list? EDIT: Trial and error It does not matter what IFF list I use... I cannot add myself to my own and when I use my own list or faction this is the script: Cerone Evnairis eyes you suspiciously Excuse me Sir, what are you doing here? Options: You: I have a bigger gun than you. *I have a message for your boss. Answer: Sure. Drega Loas is not currently available, and is not taking any visitors, except by appointment. Suggestions?

Ellias Aubec	Hmm, when I spoke to my owned NPCs on dev they came up with the text as though I was an ally. Admittedly I didn't check results for when I was in a faction and was using its IFF, but using your own IFF, so long as freindly/enemy tags are reciprocated, should work fine. ____________

Drega Loas	after switching back and forth on the IFF list it finally works... mystery to me ____________
