Forgot Which Plugin Controls NPCs in Other Rooms...

Hey, everyone,

I haven't used AGS since version 2.Old, and a recent idea makes me interested in coming back to it. I remember asking about how I could create autonomous characters that walked around the game world, through other rooms, and could do stuff in other rooms without the player being there (in the same manner as Beneath a Steel Sky), and I was referred to a plugin that seemed to do the job rather well.

The problem is that I forgot the name of this plugin in the time I've spent away from these forums. A search of the plugin board didn't turn up what I was looking for (but maybe I just fail at searching), so I was wondering if anyone could point me towards what it was.

Or has that sort of behavior been implemented into vanilla AGS since I was last here?

I believe you're thinking of Scorpiorus' Character Control System plugin. However, you may also want to look into strazer's CharacterControl module which does the same but will also work with non-Windows versions of your game.

CCS was the one I saw before, yes. The module looks like it would work better, though. Since I'd have to reboot out of OS X to make the game anyway, I'd hate to impose that on other people.

Thanks a lot!
