Finding spawns with light sources

[Leezard]

I've searched for it but I just cant find the info I need. I really need a starting point for this. I've tried $target(light) and it returns nothing. $spawn(light) returns false even when there is a light src. $char(light) also returns NONE when i know there is one. If someone could set me on the right path for this I'd appreciate it.

Eventually, id like to have to target shardwurms untill it finds one with a light and then target that one. I just need a starting point, thanks for any help you guys can offer.

It will only work if the item is actually a "held item". If the light source is a drop then it wount work. I believe they are holding it though, seq shows it so its not inventory.

$char(option [,"param")

so

/echo $char(held,left|right|shield|holding)

could try that.

hmm, that may work, but i was actually thinking more along the lines of the fact that light info has to be sent to the client, as discussed in this post.

/target id $searchspawn(light)

Perfect GD! Thanks so much!

/target id $searchspawn(light)

This is great, and perfectly timed, I have tried to figure out how to target just a. lets say williwisp, with a light by using:

Code: Select all

/target id $searchspawn("willowwisp",npc,light)

and various other combinations of the same, but can't seem to get a way to filter the search to a specific type of mob. Any ideas?

Update:

After some time in IRC, target id $searchspawn(npc,race:wurm,light) works if there is one, but $searchspawn(options) returns 0 if nothing is found and target id 0 targets closest, which in a crowded are can be hard to figure out if you are not smart.

If anyone wants a short macro snippet to find the closest thing with a lightsource, let me know and I'll post it to snippets.

Code: Select all

/declare SpawnID global
/varset SpawnID $searchspawn(npc,class:wurm,light)
/if n @SpawnID>0 {
   /target id @SpawnID
   /delay 5
   /face
}

$spawn(light) is working great for me.. here's the code I've been using...

Code: Select all

$spawn($searchspawn("shardwurm"),light)!=NONE /call TargetWurm
