target next Npc with same Id

[lolita]

is there way to target next Npc with same id?
i need this for Quest Concernen Notes. in Qest you need to deliver notes to "New Soldiers".
There are 5 soldiers relativ close to each other, so bot keep targething same one.
I tryed with

Code: Select all

function doQuest()
	repeat
		SlashCommand("script TargetNearestFriend()")
		yrest(500)
	until RoMScript("UnitName('target')") == "New Soldiers"
	player:target_NPC(119750)
	yrest(1000)
	if RoMScript("GetNumSpeakOption()") == 1 then
		ChoiceOptionByName("This letter is from Commander Shar Talos.")
	end
	player:clearTarget()
end

but it still target same Npc.
any idea

This is not really an answer to your question but in this topic there's a huge discussion about this daily quest: http://solarstrike.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4931

The best solution would be to find some indicator in memory as to whether the npc has been visited before or not and use that to filter the search but an easier solution would be to just make a table of npcs and visit them one at a time.Eg.

Code: Select all

local objectList = CObjectList()
objectList:update()

local npcs = {}
local obj
for i = 0, objectList:size() do
	obj = objectList:getObject(i);
	if obj.Id == 119750 then
		table.insert(npcs,obj)
	end
end

for k, npc in pairs(npcs) do
	player:target(npc)
	player:moveInRange(npc, 50, true) yrest(500)
	Attack() yrest(1000)
	if RoMScript("GetNumSpeakOption()") == 1 then
		ChoiceOptionByName("This letter is from Commander Shar Talos.")
	end
end

Note: This is untested.

code you posted rock5 is working, it target difrent npc every time, just it try to go npc on other side of camp.
so i need to limit distance of object's wich will be added to list.
or to check if (obj.x,obj.y) > (player.x+50,player.y+50)
what would be easyest way?

Code: Select all

   if obj.Id == 119750 and 50 > distance(player,npc) then

ty rock5, you are helpful as always.
just in my case was

Code: Select all

distance(player,obj)
not 
distance(player,npc)

any way here is working code if someone need it

Code: Select all

local objectList = CObjectList()
	objectList:update()
	
	local npcs = {}
	local obj
	for i = 0, objectList:size() do
		obj = objectList:getObject(i);
		if obj.Id == 119750 and 50 > distance(player,obj) then
			table.insert(npcs,obj)
		end
	end

	for k, npc in pairs(npcs) do
		player:target(npc)
		Attack() yrest(1000)
		if RoMScript("GetNumSpeakOption()") == 1 then
			ChoiceOptionByName("This letter is from Commander Shar Talos.")
		end
	end
