What's the best way to establish the same HUD object (and their different states) for all NPCs?

(My reply seems to be hidden, so...)

Can you use another file service? 4shared wants to change notifications in my OS, and I'm not going to let it do that! Dropbox is the safe standard.

Sure! Thanks, dude! :D

Sorry, I've come late to the party. So what isn't working in your example?

OK, I see now, it's the animation.

Exactly! The instance variable (of the NPC object family) 'Level' is associated with each of the 3 animations of 'NPC_HUD' object.

So, I don't know if this was a demo-translation typo, but the animation name is wrong. It should be "NPC0"&NPC.Level.

Yes! In the original project it's named correctly. I corrected it here (and I uploaded), but although the NPCs' HUD changes, it is not stable. It keeps changing involuntarily. :(

It's changing because it's outside of the trigger, and the value is changing randomly.

In the original project there is no random change. Even so, it is not working properly. :(

Can you send the corrected CAPX?

I want to better understand what's going on with the trigger. ^^

your NPC_HUD animation names are starting with NPC01. But your random creates 0,1,or 2. Try to change set level to 1+ floor(random(3))

Thanks, dude! I understand now! I've been having a hard time lately programming because I've a lot of roles in this project and I'm really stressed out.

Thanks a lot for the help! :D
