I think I would prefer a simple "does not obstruct other NPCs" bit. That will be intuitive, and it will cover the most common use cases. If we want more detailed NPC collision control than that, then we might want to have an if-npc-collides plotscript trigger, that would return true if the collision should obstruct, and false if it should not. --- James _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
