NPCs Citizens

NPCs (Citizens)

You can put an auctioneer NPC in your spawn that opens the Auction House on click, using Citizens.

There's nothing to install on the RoyalAuctions side — /ah takes no arguments, so a Citizens NPC just runs the command. Citizens is not a dependency of RoyalAuctions; this is purely Citizens' own command trait pointed at /ah.

Setup

/npc create Auctioneer
/npc command add ah
/npc command cooldown 2

• /npc create Auctioneer — spawn the NPC (stand where you want it).
• /npc command add ah — clicking it runs /ah.
• /npc command cooldown 2 — a 2-second cooldown so spam-clicking doesn't reopen the menu repeatedly.

Run as the player, not the console

The command must run as the player — that's Citizens' default (player: true). Two reasons:

1. /ah is player-only; an NPC set to run it as console just prints "player only".
2. The player then opens their own Auction House with their own permissions — which is what you want.

Left-click, right-click, or both

Citizens' command trait supports which hand triggers the command. If you want the NPC to respond to either click, set it to both when adding the command (see Citizens' /npc command help for the exact flag on your version). By default a command runs on right-click.

Permissions still apply

Because the command runs as the clicking player, the NPC inherits that player's permissions. A player without royalauctions.use who clicks the auctioneer gets nothing — the NPC doesn't bypass permissions. See Commands & Permissions.

A bazaar NPC too

If you also run RoyalBazaar, the same recipe with /bz gives you a trader NPC next to the auctioneer.
