<\/p>\n

With this plugin, you can assign custom 3D models (from BetterModel) to npcs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

## How to use<\/p>\n

Requirements:
\n– FancyNpcs 2.10.0.358 or newer
\n– BetterModel 3.0.2-SNAPSHOT-491 or newer
\n– FancyNpcsModel (this plugin)<\/p>\n

How to apply a custom model to an npc:<\/p>\n

1. Install the required plugins
\n2. Import models to BetterModel (see BetterModel’s documentation for that)
\n3. Make sure your npc is a player npc (`\/npc type (npc) player`)
\n4. Set the custom model: `\/npc custom_model (npc) (model name)`
\n5. Done! Your npc should now have the model you assigned to it<\/p>\n

Setting the custom model to `@none` will remove the model.<\/p>\n

Commands that won’t work, when the npcs has a custom model:
\n– `\/npc displayname`
\n– `\/npc equipment`
\n– `\/npc glowing`
\n– `\/npc skin`
\n– `\/npc turn_to_player` (depends on model)<\/p>\n

## Animations<\/p>\n

This plugin also adds two new actions (for npcs with custom models only) to play animations.<\/p>\n

Actions:
\n– `play_animation_once`: plays the specified animation once
\n– `play_animation_loop`: plays the specified animation in a loop<\/p>\n

How to add the action: `\/npc action (npc) (trigger) add play_animation_once (animation name)`<\/p>\n

There is also a command to play an animation: `\/npc play_animation (npc) (animation name) [–loop]`<\/p>\n

## Data collection<\/p>\n

This plugin collects anonymous usage data to help us understand how the plugin is being used and to improve it. All collected data by all servers is aggregated, we don’t store any IP addresses, server names, or any other information that could be used to identify a specific server or user.
