Is there a string or something to uses other than player chracter

[Icey]

In my game you are able to switch between 4 character in you party. I wanted to know if there is a command I can use for stuff like this

NPC.facechracter(player);
                              ^
I dont want to have the add a lot of code just for the npc to face the player character and not every one in the party

What's wrong with actually using that:

Code: ags

  cGuy.FaceCharacter(player);

?

....I didnt know it would work like that.

It's called the manual. Read it.

sometimes it's hard to search for things in there unless you spell it how it is shown.

I find it way easier and better to talk to a human. Not to put you out there Khris but mostly every topic I made Khris has giving me an answer that really kept me going in my games.

What kind of behavior is that!! I DEMAND HIGH RESPECT. By the way, strangely when I type Face character on my manual, the FaceCharacter command is in the results.

*GASP*

I think the issue was in finding the "player" keyword. The keyword is not referenced in the index, and a search actually yields quite a lot of results which might not be helpful for someone who isn't already aware that player is a literal keyword which can be used directly in the script (since it's a Character* which is internally updated anytime the player character is changed..but that too is probably a confusing concept to new users as well if they don't come from a programming background already).

I think it's for historical reasons that the player keyword isn't referenced that much in the manual, mainly because it previously didn't correctly reflect the current player character. It always pointed to the starting character, even after the player character has been changed with-in the game, so the player keyword was a bit useless. Only until quite recent versions (V2.7), that this behaviour was fixed and the keyword is thus much more useful than ever.
