"Person" NPCs no longer listing in My Custom Groups.

[WhiteNightingale]

There's no "Person" category in the editor anymore it seems, so I can't even SEE which Person NPCs I have in a group, let alone edit them or move them to a different group. And yes, I know I can edit individual characters in the "my characters" tab, but direct edit lacks options like the "do not autospawn" toggle.

 

Is there something I'm missing?

Wish I could help, but no idea here.

I gave up on using persons ages ago because of this. I just make non-combat bosses if I need a person.

"Non combat bosses"? How do you do that??

Make a critter with power sets, but don’t give them any powers (or give them powers that don’t have auras). Save the to a group you make (I use “Allies”) and then when you use them in game, set them to non combat.

I was also thinking in terms of them being rescues, so they can be in their own group that never is used in a position where they would fight, or bring them in as allies. As a rescue or ally - just choose non combat.

 

For extra measure, you can right-click them in the group list and turn on "Don't autos-spawn" - or make them AVs as they never autospawn (as long as there are non AVs in the group).

I didn't know you could just assign zero powers. Thanks!

I think you can find your persons in the character "My Characters" tab to convert them
