NPC WAYPOINTS:
You will need to make waypoints with the Waypoints plugin. Create a set of waypoints with NAME and use /npc waypoints NAME when editing your NPC.

NPC KIT:

You will need the Kits plugin. Create a new kit with the kit plugin like you usually do, then:
/kit add NAME "random description" -authlevel2 (the level is set so NO players can use the kit, only admins and NPCs)
Then while editing the NPC do: /npc kit NAME (being the same name as the kit ofc)

NPC ATTACK MOVEMENTS & PATHFINDING:
The Pathfinding is still not perfect, but it's getting there. Currently, the main problem isn't really coming from the Pathfinding but from the HumanNPC plugin because of the way i wrote it, so I'll need to rewrite a part of the plugin to make better movements and player attacks.
You will need to download PathFinding for Rust to make the NPC attack movements work. If the NPC can't find any paths for 5 seconds it will stop targetting the entity and go back to its spawn point with full health.

For Developers

Hooks were implemented to allow other plugins to interact with this one. None of them have return values (can be edited if needed). New hooks can be added if they make sense.

Note: All NPC have unique userIDs, (BasePlayer.userID), so you may easily save information of NPC by userID.

 OnHitNPC(BasePlayer npc, HitInfo info)

Called when the NCP is getting hit

 OnUseNPC(BasePlayer npc, BasePlayer player)

Called when the NCP is getting used (pressed use while aiming the NPC)

 OnEnterNPC(BasePlayer npc, BasePlayer player)

Called when a player gets in range of the NPC

 OnLeaveNPC(BasePlayer npc, BasePlayer player)

Called when a player gets out of range of the NPC

 OnKillNPC(BasePlayer npc, hitinfo)

Called when an NPC gets killed

 OnNPCPosition(BasePlayer npc, Vector3 pos)

Called when an NPC reachs a waypoint and changes to next waypoint

 OnNPCRespawn(BasePlayer npc)

Called when an NPC respawns

 OnLootNPC(PlayerLoot loot, BaseEntity target, string npcId)

Called when an NPC gets looted

CreateNPCHook(Vector3 position, Quaternion currentRot, string name = "NPC", ulong clone = 0, bool saved = true)

Creates npc and returns BasePlayer

Usages

  • Make your server more lively with NPCs that talk and interact a bit with players
  • Create Epic mobs that spawn every X time and once killed gives loot (use Rust Kits plugin for that)
  • Create other plugins that can give quests to players (Hunt RPG is on its way)
  • Create other plugins that uses the NPC to manage banks, quests, trades, shops
  • Only limited by your imagination - possibilities are infinite!
