- ```
 /npc create Bob --trait builder
```
Load a schematic with /builder load, Example:
- ```
 /builder load house

```

More detailed instructions and other commands can be found on the Citizens 2 Wiki

FAQ

Q: How can I use multiple builders on one project?

A: You can use up to 4 builders on one project by giving them all the same schematic and origin, but different build patterns. You can also manually split your schematic into multiple parts with WorldEdit or MCEdit.

Q: How can I make builders go faster?

A: Use the /builder timeout command to set the max time between blocks. You can also make the builder walk faster with "/npc speed"

I added the red spoiler thing. And yes, break up the schematic, or use multiple builders with different build patterns.

Yea I have Y-direction options planned, multiple layers at a time, and a option for grouping per-layer or grouping per-all.

@dvbweb

Multiple builders.

Hey man love all your latest features!

Config is really great. exactly what i wanted (and hopefully covers everyone)

I'd just like to request a tweak to the way you implemented material ordering..

You've currently made it use the order once per line (of height) but to me this defeats the purpose of making the ordering. He still can't build the frame first before adding windows and always roofing last to give a realistic build style.

My suggestions are either

*make the builder build each set (set = a list, not just 1 block ID) for the entire schematic
*a config option it so we can choose our selves... It would look something like Blockordering:[None/Row/All]

None = Original style
Row = Current style
All = My proposed style If we meet on IRC you can log onto my server sometime and il show you exactly how much cooler it looks with the requested style. (I fake it by having 5 schematics)

you can't do this by default

but you CAN do it by having several schematics that form a building divide the building into quarters for example? or get really tricky and make the one guy do the floor , one the walls, one the fittings (use the dont place air option)

you need "/npc ?" for help

"/npc list" will show you your npcs number IDS

then you can find your builder and type "/npc select #"

finally type "/builder cancel" to stop an in progress building.

HEllo Dev, I was wondering, Is there a more complete list of commands out there somewhere, the commands for Citizens 2 are not showing me what i need to do or anything. I started a project, but i wish to stop it because it is to big an will kill my server. But to cancel, it says i need to have an npc slected, Noting is working, I have the server area closed off for now because of it, but i really need help. Please respond in a PM. That would be most appreciated so i know the answer without having to find this forum again. Thanks in advance. :) Tom

how can i get mutiple builders to work in unison on the same schematic. Like in the cruise ship video.

Also you also mentioned that you modified the ship schematic, I was just wondering how?

Thanks, CeramicTitan

Oh, Zombie type NPC is able to crash your game when you use him as a Builder. Probably because he does not have the animation.

make a schematic that is NOT the building but covers the same area when you build that he will reduce it to nothing

He cant regen original terrain like worldedit regen though sorry.

Not sure if I'm being dumb, but is there a way to unbuild schematics? I want my builder to build the building and then unbuild it...
