Hi guys! I've been using a script from my old server and tried to use it here in hercules. Then I encountered a weird problem with this command: [b]disablenpc[/b]

When I use this command, it really makes the npc not triggerable in the normal way. The problem is: the disabled NPC shoulld disappear from sight.

If you are near the npc and activated this script, the NPC will disappear from sight but when you walk around or teleported and get back to the NPC's location, NPC is now showing again although it can't be triggered.

Is it really intended to work like that? In my past server, i remember that it's really hidden when the npc is disabled. Thanks!

can you show me the portion of the script that uses disablenpc? so I may use it to reproduce

When you use the above code:

1. Oninit disables the NPC: (making it not triggering but still visible)
2. When you pm npc:foff while away from NPC (disables the npc but when you warp, it's still visible)
3. When you pm npc:foff while beside the NPC (disables the npc but when you warp, it becomes INVISIBLE) but walk around the area until the area where NPC can still be seen by client sight, it will become visible again although it can't be triggered
