I made this with ChatGPT and it's supposed to create an NPC that randomly casts the Bless spell on players. But it doesn't.

Bless casting NPC:
// File: FancyBlessingNPC.cs
using System;
using System.Linq;
using Server;
using Server.Items;
using Server.Mobiles;
using Server.Spells;
using Server.Spells.Third; // Required for the Bless spell
using Server.Network;
using Server.Targeting;

Did not try your NPC but it looks like its gonna cast the spell but there is no target involved

Doesn't work unfortunately. She wanders around, sometimes jumps several tiles and never casts a spell.
 
Well its normal, the "Bless" function has to be triggered by something, now its only triggered by the creation of the NPC which is weird and not very optimal. Try the "OnThink

This is whats currently doing the bless spell
"
C#:
Timer.DelayCall(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.0), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10.0), MoveAndBless);
function
 
I'd stay away from using OnThink(), but agree, having a timer start up on creation isn't good either! The range of 3 on the check for players is very limiting, I envision it teleporting to a new location, checks within 3 tiles finds nothing then teleports again on next delay call, which will only work until the shard restarts as the timer isn't restarted on load!
