Creating and Uploading Custom Scripts on Your No One Survived Server

Learn how to write a simple custom script from scratch and upload it to your No One Survived server, giving you a functional starting point for further customization.

📌 Prerequisites

• A No One Survived server purchased at VolticHost.com

• Access to VolticHost Game Panel

• A basic text editor (e.g., Notepad, VS Code)

• Familiarity with basic scripting concepts

1️⃣ Writing Your Custom Script

1. Open your preferred text editor.

2. Create a new file and paste the following sample code, which spawns an NPC companion when a player spawns:

   -- npc_companion.lua
   -- This script spawns an NPC companion for a player if they don't already have one.
   
   function spawnCompanion(player)
       if not player.hasCompanion then
           local companion = spawnNPC("Companion", player.getPosition())
           companion.follow(player)
           player.hasCompanion = true
           print("Companion spawned for " .. player.name)
       end
   end
   
   -- Register the spawnCompanion function to trigger when a player spawns
   registerEvent("playerSpawn", spawnCompanion)
   

3. Save the file as npc_companion.lua on your computer.
