Module:NpcData/docGive feedback

This module allows you to display stats for any NPC (Non-Player Character) from the game's data files which can be found here Data:NpcData.json. For most uses, it is recommended to use the {{NpcData}} template.

How to Use

To get data from the module, you use a command that looks like {{#invoke:NpcData|...}}. You will tell it which function to use, which NPC you want, and what information you need.

The basic format is: {{#invoke:NpcData|function_name|parameter1|parameter2|...}}
