NPC Variables

For both Behavior Operations and Tribe Scripting some of the fields are parsed for keywords and values replaced before use.

NPC Variables allow for scripting where keywords are replaced in strings.

This allows for generic scripting like:

<talk text="My name is $name" />
<wait duration="$NBUFFER[Wait_Duration]" anim="stand" />

First buffers will be replaced than keywords will be replaced.

Bufferes that wil be replaced

Bufferes will be replaced first. This allows keywords in the buffers.

Keyword	Description
$NBUFFER[x]	Replace with the value from the NPC buffers that is set by the Tribe Scripting SetBuffer algorithm
$TBUFFER[x]	Replace with the value from the Tribe buffers that is set by the Tribe Scripting SetBuffer algorithm

Keywords that will be replaced

The following keywords are replaced in strings used in the NPC Client Scripting.

Keyword	Description
$name	Replaced with the name of the NPC.
$owner	If npc is a pet, replaced with the name of the owner
$member_type	Replace with the npc tribe member type.
$race	Replaced with the race of the NPC.
$target	Replaced with the name of the current target.
$tribe	If npc is part of a tribe, replaced with the tribes name.

Boolean types

Some script require boolean as output. They will be deamed true if the string resolve to either "true" or "yes".

Example:

<set_buffer buffer="Region" value="true" />
<melee outside_region="$NBUFFER[Region]" />
