ModeledNPCS — New Escort System Update + Major Improvements
A huge update just landed for ModeledNPCS, bringing major improvements to the Escort System, fully configurable arrival behaviors, and important compatibility fixes.

✨ Escort System — Arrival Animations (Clone NPCs)
Clone escort NPCs can now automatically play custom animations when reaching their destination.

New YAML fields:

• arrive-animation: <name>
• arrive-animation-duration: <seconds>

Features:

• Uses MEGAnimationHandler.playLoopedAnimationByName() directly on the clone
  
  
• Fully per-player — every escort session is completely isolated
  
  
• 0 duration keeps the animation playing until the clone is removed
  

This allows cinematic escort endings directly from configuration without additional coding.

⚡ Escort System — Arrival Commands
Clone escorts can now execute commands immediately upon arrival through YAML configuration.
New section:
Patrol:
arrival-commands:
Supported formats:

• console: <command>
• player: <command>
• No prefix → defaults to console execution

Additional features:

• Full {player} placeholder support
• Commands execute before the destination dialog opens
• Fully session-based and independent for every player

Perfect for:

• Rewards
• Teleports
• Quest progression
• Effects & cutscenes
• Dynamic story events
  

New Dialog YAML Fields
Added new configurable escort fields directly inside dialog trees:

Field Location Description
arrive-animation Destination tree root Animation played on arrival
arrive-animation-duration Destination tree root Duration before removal
arrival-commands Under Patrol: Commands executed on arrival
⛪ priest.yml Fully Rewritten
The entire priest.yml escort configuration has been reworked.
Changes include:

• Added arrive-animation: idle
• Added arrive-animation-duration: 0
• Added arrival-commands for every patrol route and state
• All escort routes are now fully YAML-driven with zero database setup required

✅ Patrol System Compatibility
The original /mnpcai patrol arrival system remains completely unchanged.

Existing SQLite-based features continue to work normally:

• Animations
• Wait times
• Arrival dialogs
• Commands
• Permissions

No migrstion required.

Dependency Update
Updated:

• GlowingEntities 1.4.3 → 1.4.11

Fixes:

• IllegalArgumentException: Malformed version: 26.1.2.build.60-stable
• Startup crashes caused by Paper's custom version formatting

No API changes required fully internal compatibility fix.
