I want to make a group of plug-ins that allow for npcs to handle quests. It will involve custom ai/pathing, that will allow interaction via the chat box.
How can I search for what hooks are available, what I have to work with, what can or can’t I do? Another example would be I want the quest text to float while regular chat continues scrolling, is that possible? I have more questions, but this is the first set, I’ll just keep it in the thread.
You could try the titebars, action bars, renaming the held item by the player, boss bars, or holograms.
There is a Conversation API (Like Bukkit’s) Planned for 3.0 By the looks of it: Conversation API · Issue #432 · SpongePowered/SpongeAPI · GitHub
Thank you, that was helpful. What about learning the source for plug in use? I have never made a full plug in. I know the basics from the tutorials but what about all the functions or whatever. What do I need to look up to figure out how to actually use various parts of sponge?
First things first, if you havn’t already learn Java. The Java™ Tutorials
After following several java tutorials, maybe reading a Java book, or making some small programs, I’d recommend reading http://docs.spongepowered.org Which should have enough sponge specific information to get you started. If you get stuck, just make a forum post and hopefully someone can help and the docs improved.
