The world will have a number of '''waypoints''' each of the waypoints will be connected with '''paths'''. The waypoints are used to navigate on a large scale. E.g. when a NPC is going from home to work it will calculate the route of waypoint to travel to do this. It will use local navigation to get to the closes waypoint. Than the npc will travel using the paths connecting the waypoints. Each '''path''' connecting '''waypoints''' consist of a number of predefined points, called '''path points'''.

NPCs

sc_npc_definitions

This table associates a specific behavior with an NPC, In the npctype column you have the same name you find in the npcbehave.xml

Points on the map

The world will have a number of waypoints each of the waypoints will be connected with paths. The waypoints are used to navigate on a large scale. E.g. when a NPC is going from home to work it will calculate the route of waypoint to travel to do this. It will use local navigation to get to the closes waypoint. Than the npc will travel using the paths connecting the waypoints. Each path connecting waypoints consist of a number of predefined points, called path points.
