NPC Status Override

Replaces the built-in quest status indicator floating above an NPC with a 3D model of your choosing.

The entry is an audience filter, so it can be nested under other audience entries: the override applies only to the players who reach it. That is how a status model can differ per faction, per quest line, or per profile.

Status types

One entry overrides exactly one status. Declare several to cover all three.

statusType	Default indicator	Meaning
AVAILABLE	Orange !	A quest is available but not yet started.
ACTIVE	Blue ?	A quest is running and this NPC is the current target.
DIALOGUE	White ...	An interaction is available, with no quest attached.

Fields

Field	Default	Description
statusType	AVAILABLE	Which status this entry replaces.
model	—	The EntityDefinitionEntry used as the indicator.
offset	0, 0, 0	Position relative to the NPC's head.
scale	1.0	Scale of the indicator model.
children	empty	Nested audience entries, evaluated as usual.

model accepts any entity definition, which in practice means an ItemDisplay, a BlockDisplay or a BetterModel definition.
