World Replace All The Hoppers With Npc

Most hopper can be replaced with NPC right away, things like the trash cans and some of the quests that use hoppers. But aws404 is correct, they will need to code a new NPC for things like dungeons. I don't think it would be to hard to code it. Allow it to accept one item at a time and count the number of items received, just reset the its item counter when it reaches a desired value.

 

I’m not sure it would be that simple...
We can’t really know how development works

 

Oh yeah I didn't think of that. Although if we can have npcs that can accept items more then once, and npc's that accept more then one item then surely we can combine those features.

 

Rude...

Anyways, the team would have to rework a feature, now that I think about it, to allow this to happen.
That means I don't support this anymore.

 

Hey, didn't know you were a part of thought police. You really should have read the replies above you, me pointing out obvious fatcs doesn't make me rude.

 

and reworking it would be sooooooo worth it
hey buddy please think long-term as well

 

Although the work would be hard to do, I do think that this idea would pay for itself many times. The players would stop rage-quitting because of losing items to the hoppers, and the NPC code be a much better alternative. +1 from me

 

If this happened then my Hero and 5 Tisauns Proofs would be avenged.

But let’s be serious here, while this has been done in quests like Realm of Light and The Hive, it is unlikely that this will be done due to the sheer number of hoppers and how they would be visible due to the green glow.

 

NPCs != Quest NPCs. This would require new code and can't be done with Quest NPCs due to them only accepting the items once and not being multiplayer-friendly. It wouldn't have to have a green glow if it worked like a lot of the people are requesting. Though it most likely won't be added, since new code is often frowned upon.

 

Why would new code be frowned upon? They just added discoveries and a new bank which would have been a shitton of code. It's one of the things the server is built on.

 

Just look at how many suggestions are deemed "impossible", just because they require new code.

 

Imo if every hopper BUT ??? related hoppers are turned into a entity/area based NPC like the Talking mushroom is, then everything should be good.

??? gets the exception for being a mystery quest, and everything being hidden. And hoppers are the best way to go about it. Maybe the ones for the wires for teleporting to the meteor/Lab N remain but the ones involved with the puzzles and Yahya’s house would remain as hoppers. Even if the quest is solved the vague nature should remain as is.

 

yea like the catalyst thingys in Tower of Ascension and Qira Hive

 

Not necessarily a bad thing. It makes it harder to use large groups to get a lot of XP. Still, being in a group would still benefit you in a dungeon, especially if one person can hand things in and let everyone else through. You still get the status bonuses offered by others' spells, more than one item can drop for different people, and boss fights would be unchanged.

One area where this suggestion gets awkward though is the Seaskipper. Unlike other hoppers, dropping different items here has different effects. If you right-clicked the NPC with passes for more than one location, what would happen? Either you get an unintuitive war of it selecting where you want to go for you, you would have to leave one behind (which could get awkward), or you'd have to design a whole new UI for selecting which pass to use. None of these solutions is ideal.

 

It would not trigger pistons..
+ Why would you want to? Its fine how it is...

 

Except dungeons generally don't use pistons.

It's fine how it is, but implementing this idea would make it a heck of a lot better.

Imagine that you have 24 tokens, and you need to throw them in a hopper. A bunch of mobs are chasing you, and your attacks can't really keep them back. You try to throw the tokens from your inventory, but you miss because you're getting thrown about. You try to throw them individually from your hotbar by using your drop key, but you keep missing.

If the hoppers were replaced with NPC's, this problem would be completely absent.

 

I think he's just talking about the redstone signal required for the command blocks that open the door.

 

For this scenario I think a lock function for your weapons would be more useful, so that you cannot lose them at all, not to hoppers but aswell not to fire, loot chests etc. (There is another threat for that & it would probably would be easier to implement into the game)

 

thing like SSK with npc can't work but like i lost my pure in a hopper at the cow fusion quest that can be replaced also
you can try 2 add maby a counter like 0/25 with dungeon you click on it.
when you click it you got 17 tolens in your inv once you click it it takes all your tokens and sets the counter 2 17/25 idk if this can work but whould be nice lol

 

Yea, it could work. The problem still remains with redstone and command blocks. But they could rework it so it works more like dungeon keys, if you don't have access you get teleported back.
