Inspiration
Many developers and worlds have NPC avatars that don't engage players. My goal was to create avatars that represent or interact with basic greetings and functions.
What it does:
My remixable NPC Welcome script helps NPC greet players that enter the trigger. Also do light gesture for interactive welcoming feel. Can be customized with welcome audio, and on screen text, based on seconds. NPC only welcomes players that enter trigger once and goes back to original spawn position.
How we built it.
Hours of testing and developing took about 6 months. AI also help when that feature became available.
Challenges we ran into:
Meta has had many changes with NPC Avatars that kept me busy. Finally it we are moving forward to more conversations with AI voice and hopefully with more interaction with objects and players.
Accomplishments that we're proud of:
We are happy to combine audio with light gestures with navigation which makes NPC avatars more useful. Especially to greet, speak, or entertain players.
What we learned
Based on this script we have create many more scripts that can now give items to players, give tours, and much more.
What's next for NPC Welcome Avatar
Our goal is to have the NPC teach classes, talk to guest with the new AI voice feature, and assist in role play in games and help educate players in worlds.
We have more demonstrations of NPC scripts in our world called NPC Avatar Scripts and hope to upgrade as Meta make more options available.
