NPCs use role templates to define their behavior:
  • Generic: Basic NPC with standard AI
  • Variant: Modified version of an existing template (like Jawa from Kweebec Sapling)
Templates define movement, combat, and interaction behaviors.
NPCs cycle through various states:
  • Idle: Default resting state
  • Follow: Actively following a player
  • Combat: Engaged in battle
  • Despawn: Removing from world
State transitions are controlled by sensors and instructions.
