# NPC\_CloseNode

warning

This function was added in omp v1.5.8.3079 and will not work in earlier versions!

## Description

Closes an NPC node, making it unavailable for use by NPCs.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| nodeid | The ID of the node to close |

## Returns

Returns `true` if the operation was successful, `false` otherwise.

## Examples

```c
public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (!strcmp(cmdtext, "/checknodetype ", true, 15))
    {
        new nodeid = strval(cmdtext[15]);

        if (nodeid < 0 || nodeid > 63)
            return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Invalid node ID. Must be between 0 and 63.");

        new nodetype = NPC_GetNodeType(nodeid);

        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0x00FF00FF, "Node %d type: %d", nodeid, nodetype);
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
```

## Notes

-   Closing a node prevents new NPCs from using it
-   NPCs currently using the node will continue until they finish
-   Closed nodes cannot be played until reopened with `NPC_OpenNode`
