# NPC Model
What an NPC looks like once the game has built it: how tall it stands and the colours its faces
are drawn in. It is measured the same way {ref}`TObjectModel` measures world objects.

Example:
```pascal
model := TNPCModel.Create(npcDef);
WriteLn(model.Height, ' ', model.Colors);
```

## TNPCModel
The same record as {ref}`TObjectModel`, with `Valid` being `False` when one of the NPC's models
couldn't be read.


- - -

## NPCModel.Create
```pascal
function TNPCModel.Create(constref def: TNPCDefinition): TNPCModel; static; overload;
```
Builds `def` with {ref}`TObjectModel.Build`: its models recoloured, retextured and scaled as the
definition asks, and lit with the ambient and contrast the client lights NPCs with.

The client lights NPCs from a different direction than world objects, which only changes which
faces catch the light, not the range of shades they are drawn in.
