NPCMessageCommand

Package: com.hypixel.hytale.server.npc.commands

public class NPCMessageCommand extends AbstractPlayerCommand

Implements /npc message. Sends a beacon message to one or all NPCs. Beacon messages are processed by the NPC’s BeaconSupport component and can trigger beacon-type sensors in the behavior tree.
