Description

Hello! So I had my already working Citizen NPCs in my 1.17. world, changed to Paper 1.18 dev-build, created a new 1.18 world and used /npc tphere to teleport the NPCs, that were in the old world, to the new world. It worked fine, until they just "disappeared". I'm not entirely sure if I relogged, changed worlds or just flew away, but they are invisible now. Doing /npc list, they are still there, and if I try to select them with /npc sel, they get selected.

So they are invisible and not clickable, but appear to be there.

I am experiencing the same issue. Restarting generally brings them back for me but I'm not sure what triggers the disappearance.

[jokbon]

I am experiencing the same issue. I suddenly noticed it started messing up citizen names. I made backtomazes3 which sudenly changed his name to backtoparkour1 and teleported to place where other backtoparkour1 npc was.

so i ended up having 2 backtoparkour1 npc's in same place. but one ansvers being called as backtomazes3

[jokbon]

my coment wasnt out of topic as i described they flew away to other citizens and inherited theyr names. when i aproached spot there was 2 npcs. please try fixing this as i will be forced to move to boring gui's :/

[Getblock]

I believe that I am also experiencing the same exact issue. .. According to configs and npc commands, the NPC/s exist but they are not interactable and visually not there.

Paper 1.18.1 ver 81 Citizens2 Build2430

@RazenHD Does this issue still occur for you in 1.18.1? Also, have you tried /npc tp to teleport yourself to the NPC, in case it's just been moved to a different location? Your log file was full of random error messages from other plugins, which will seemingly unrelated might actually have caused the issue indirectly. If you're still getting the issue on an up-to-date server, can you please post updated logs?

@Getblock do you actually have the same specific situation of having multiple worlds, transferred teleported NPCs from one world to another, and then they disappeared? If not, you're more likely to have a different but merely similar problem.

@baailey same question to you as to Getblock.

[Getblock]

After doing some experimentation on the NPCs to figure out why they are becoming invisible after server restarts.. We've somehow found out that setting the "Type" of the NPC to a "Villager" is the issue. We're not exactly sure the reason for that but after converting every NPC on server to a "player" type, this issue has stopped occurring for me.

[Neeekss]

Same for me half NPC with villager type is disappeared.

[RSLuke]

Same here, some npcs with type villager or vindicator are disappearing, always the 2 same, have to manually /citizens reload everytime

[mcmonkey4eva]

Not convinced yall 3 are necessarily hitting the same issue as the original user, since they haven't specified, but since they're not replying, could at least one of you three please post a current latest.log from a server that's experiencing the issue?

Also please try to narrow down when your villager NPCs are disappearing specifically (is it a specific duration of time? Does it relate to an event from another plugin? Is it after you use a certain command?)

[RSLuke]

I have 44 npcs on my server, 2 of them disappear every daily reboot but are not removed from the file since I can make them come back with the citizens reload comand I don't have anything in the logs but I'll check once more The 2 npcs are villager and vindicator type [05:04:59] [Server thread/INFO]: [Citizens] Enabling Citizens v2.0.29-SNAPSHOT (build 2428) [05:05:24] [Server thread/INFO]: [Citizens] Loaded 44 NPCs.

Also enable citizens debug to at least log despawns/respawns.

Getting this issue with player citizens as well. No errors, NPC's just missing, when I try to tp them to me it says it did but there is no NPC there, reloading does not fix this.

[mcmonkey4eva]

Still waiting for anybody to post full logs/latest.log relevant to the issue.

[jokbon]

I posted full log multiple times in your discord. Heres non full log of plugin behavior so you will hopefully finaly notice actualy whats happening. My worlds developer added citizens 2 as soft dependency at my request. And yes npcs still act weird at worlds provided by folowing plugins: multiverse & my worlds.

:(

Hello, not sure if this issue will still be looked at due to being closed, but today 4 of my villager NPCs have disappeared. Here is the latest log: https://mcpaste.io/1801e31f3a99c927

Although I'n running build 2419, I'll be updating to build 2454 when the server automatically restarts in 12 hours. I'll post an update if they're or not when I can.

Please use https://paste.denizenscript.com/New/Log to paste logs

[baailey]

the 4 villager npcs are still missing https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/92411

[baailey]

If you need any other information, please let me know. I'd like to get this fixed as soon as possible.

EDIT: Just tried making a villager, only for it to disappear instantly. Simply did /npc create test and then /npc type villager. Disappears right in front of me. Running version: 2.0.29 (build 2456).

Disregard the last edit, that specific issue was caused by a private plugin. The random disappearing is replicable with only Citizens installed.

[fullwall]

Can you provide logs with at least citizens debug enabled??

[baailey]

Sorry for the delay, I hope this has the info you're after https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/93891

[WarnDa]

Any news ?

[BehrRiley]

edit: i missed the logs above;

they're working on it as they can

Since another person has reported this; still waiting for consistently reproducible steps ideally with a citizens debug log and IDs of the affected NPCs.

what exactly is required? what logs and debugs, can you describe the actions in detail? my residents disappear every reboot, I can easily show and repeat that the residents are not visible

[fullwall]

Enable citizens debug in settings Tell me which IDs are affected Post a log including after the point the villagers disappear Ideally this would be on a test server with only citizens installed

[mcmonkey4eva]

After some followup from a user on Discord seeing this issue got a good lead, this commit: https://github.com/CitizensDev/Citizens2/commit/dfbdfaed0954684d00520389f9c7ea98a8e9e186 adds a config setting that lets you configure lag compensation (compensates for a lag-related bug on modern Paper servers).

So for those replicating the issue in this thread, try updating to the latest Citizens dev build from https://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/Citizens2/, then edit your config.yml to raise general.entity-spawn-wait-ticks to a higher value like 20 or 30, and see if it reduces the issue.

EDIT: to clarify, this isn't necessarily a fix for the issue in this thread, but it might be relevant, so it's a thing to test
