Introduction
NPCs also known as bots -feature introduced in April 2022 in vc-mp forum. This new feature allows you to create NPCs inside your server. They can be created at ammunition stores, toolshop or mall. They can chat with players, send command to server. They can be used to play a previous recording like driving a car around an area repeatedly. Like normal players, they use server slot. Their actions are scripted by squirrel scripts. These scripts with 'artificial intelligence' of NPC reside in npcscripts directory.
Each NPC run in its own process. This might make their usage and working economical. The NPC scripts have functions as well as callbacks. The Player functions, Advanced functions are all functions usable in npcscripts( and not server scripts).
Since v1.5, adding an npc is simple as a call to ConnectNPC and if you do not want to give npc AI, the script parameter can be omitted.
