alright...i think im using threads to much...anyways my goal here! i wanna make a image over a npc and have it disappear and all kinds of cool stuff haha so heres my code

Spoiler

and heres my problem...ok so this is scanning over all the npcs generated randomly in a map i have...it says...if its type is 30 which is zombie right? or wrong? then its going to repos. the image i have for the id to its x and y and rotation...but im getting a error and its not repositioning all the images..error is number expected, got nil...where its reposing the image...i know that nil is...nothing...and i just seen that its saying NPC[npc] is nil...can anyone tell me why its doing this? i have it so when it spawns a npc..it sets a image at the x and y and r of the npc and NPC[npc (which the generator sets as it goes too using for 1,100 or something..)] am i doing a noob mistake again? haha would love some help shared

EDIT: i see my mistake...but i cant find any work around at all

any help guys...the npcs id and image id will not be the same and therefor..im out of ideas...can anyone help at all?

function NPCImage()
	local npct=object(0,"table")
	for i = 1,#npct do
		if object(npct[i],'type') == 30 then
			imagepos(NPC[npct[i]],object(npct[i],'x'),object(npct[i],'y'),object(npct[i],'rot'))
		end
	end
end

does it work?

NPCs are dynamic objects, so they share the same type ID (30). Those IDs is for their looks, I assume.

can you give full error line (I mean console's one)?
and did you create the image before posing it? (by image command)
