Request: Spawn Check By Location

YKW-28983 · Post by **YKW-28983** » Fri Jan 03, 2003 11:34 pm

Would it be possible to implement spawn checking for mobs that spawn to a static loc? It would be useable in many of my scripts.

seconded.

right now i use a crappy prog that reads input from tail -f showeqspawnlog.txt, if it's possible to do in MQ that'd make things a lot easier.

Salutations,
I think this would be cool but, YKW: what?

Hmm... What What? What are you asking.

Would it be possible to stuff it in alert?

$target(y) $target(x) $target(z)

Code: Select all

/alert add # [pc,npc,corpse,any] [loc x,y,z] [range min max] [radius radius] spawn

You could also do it this way and put the distance of the lock into an array that you can look for. I haven't bothered getting the giants spawn. Doing that right now.

$distance(y,x)
Returns the distance to a location

Code: Select all

| name: igcheck
| Use  /macro igcheck [NORTH, SOUTH, BACK]

#define NORTHX "-6464.00"
#define NORTHY "2005.00"

#define SOUTHX "-6463"
#define SOUTHY "1758"
 
#define BACKX "-6864.00"
#define BACKY "1834.00"

#define LocDistance v1
#define BeepCount v2

Sub Main
 :DISTANCE CHECK
 /varset LocDistance $distance($p0y,$p0x)
 :Alert
 /alert clear 1
 /alert add 1 npc Range $LocDistance $LocDistance giant
 :AlertBeep
 /if $alert(1)==TRUE {
  /varadd BeepCount 1
  /if BeepCount < 6 {
   /beep
  }
 }
 /goto :AlertBeep
/return

Hmm whoa, I think I did it.

Updated the code, I think it should work now.

Salutations,
YKW: I have no clue what I was talking about
this makes total sense, and is a great idea, I'd say it should be used more in a sense of 'targets the nearest to a location'

Code: Select all

/target loc x,y,z Guard

Code: Select all

/alert add 1 loc x,y,z Guard

Aye, would be verry nice to have....

. I haven't even gotten a chance to test my little script above out but i'll be trying it soon.

Eh, UPDATE:

it won't let me set distance to the distance from loc...

it inputs the range as 0 0 instead of what it should be.

Salutations,
to find a dist between a loc and another loc you need to use trig

YKW-28983 · Post by **YKW-28983** » Sun Jan 05, 2003 8:09 pm

Alls it should be doing is finding the distance between where I am and another loc, it works fine when I echo it manually, but when I put it to echo in script it gets f'ed. It will echo 6755 no matter what I put in.

Single can you just leav me alone? you don't know what i'm trying to do, and it's verry clear that you don't with that script you just wrote.

/target npc giant

If there are no ice giants up then you will get a spider or something else.

And you don't look east when you are camping the back giant...

1. I'm pretty sure I know what you are trying to do, and if I don't then it is a communication problem on your part and not my problem.

2. I forgot about the giant spiders in the zone but since you like to flame it appears you too damn dumb to change it to /target npc "an ice giant" or something else that will only target ice giants.

3. As I made sure to state in my post THIS WAS NOT TESTED AND REQUIRED DEBUGGING!!!!!!

4. I was only trying to help and find a useful application for the mob cycling idea, get off your high horse Mr. I can't figure out a way to do this (that works).

5. Finally, I tried to guess a location between all three giants based on a map. I did not test or find any of these values in game. The code should work if you change them.

Find a location your happy with target each giant find the heading to each giant at the "gotoloc" and update the code with real in game values.

PS $char(heading) does not return north east south west it returns a polar value. You need that value and not "East". East, north, and south are simply ways to indicate what giant is up. The north most giant, the east most giant or the south most giant. If you prefer back instead of east who cares change it

YOU DO NOT CAMP ALL 3 GIANTS AT ONCE! YOU CAN NOT JUST PICK ONE SPOT TO FIND EVERYTHING!

I forgot about the giant spiders in the zone but since you like to flame it appears you too damn dumb to change it to /target npc "an ice giant" or something else that will only target ice giants.

I was not flaming, I was simply telling you, that your script had an error in it. You said you wanted tests and debugging, so go screw yourself.

Sniff sniff, I smell poo. Who is throwing the poo?

I have this picture of two professor type monkeys sitting in their zoo cage and throwing poo at each other, and then fighting over who threw the poo.

Monkey 1: I didn't fro no poo!
Monkey 2: Yesh you did, you stinky poo thrower!
Monkey 1: You da stinky poo frower, you poo frowin stinky monkey!
Monkey 2: Go to hell you monkey!

Yeah, so I'm easily amused. I bet this thread'll get locked soon.
