[[ADD_NPC(coordinate_cell, attributes)]]​

This action adds a non-player character (NPC) to the specified cell. The character will be displayed with a default token on the map (a token with the letter X), and players will have to control it (movement, attack, defense).

Mandatory Parameters:

  • NAME: The proper name of the NPC.

Optional Parameter:

  • ON_DEATH: The event to trigger upon the NPC's death. Any event or message can be specified.

  • ICON: The custom icon to be associated with the NPC.

  • Parameters: (coordinate_cell, … )

Example 1: {[[(B), ON_SHOW]] [[ADD_NPC(E20, NAME=Prince Bart, ON_DEATH=[[QUEST_FAILED]])]]}
