Very good and useful guide. Thanks!

Read it at last . First I wasn't able to understand a single word but now I understood almost anything except those arrays. I think I will figure that out on my own. This guide was very useful. I recommend it to all newbie's. It just helped me a lot.

I'm SUPER late but if this is a question occurring with other people, you don't have to link it or whatsoever. You simply open up a NPC script in your SRC folder and edit it. And it applies to your server assuming that it works. I honestly don't even know why I'm posting this, I was just reviewing the commands because I forgot most...

Sorry for late bump but just got a notification of a Like. 114 likes? When did this happen? Unreal... Is this even relevant anymore? I know sources have changed a lot since I made this.

NPC scripting hasn't ever changed, so everything here can still be used to learn. Great guide by the way, I love how you added all the NPC commands considering I can't remember all of them. Only thing I would point out is that I'd use ternary rather than if-else only because I like shorter NPC's xD

if (mode == 1) { // the mode is set to 1 because of the function start, as shown above 
        status++; // advances the NPC to the next status, in this case, status 0 
    }else{ // if mode does not equal 1 
        status--; // does not advance the NPC to the next status. 
    }

(mode == 1 ? status++ : status--);

What were you thinking when you tried to load a WZ file in Notepad? Scripts are found in your scripts folder and are opened with Notepad, not HaRepacker.

He tried this: http://forum.ragezone.com/f428/maplestory-private-server-v142-video-999819/index24.html#post8329122 .
I am however glad to see he somewhat took my advice and looked up this npc guide.. Unfortunately he missed the script location part.
