Solved check if monster is online

[Exoltes]

I'm working on a 8.54 Open Tibia Server using The Forgotten Server - Version 0.2.7 (Mystic Spirit).

I'm wondering if there is a way to block a raid from re-happening if the previous raid hasn't been completely cleared (can be a single boss monster raid or a full raid).

-> Raids.xml

    <raid name="Demodras" file="Demodras.xml" interval2="379" margin="177"/>

-> Demodras.xml

 <raid>
<announce delay="0" type="event" message="Demodras, the evil dragon boss, has returned to its lair." />
<singlespawn delay="0" name="Demodras" x="1141" y="1000" z="11" />
</raid>

With this the Demodras keeps on stacking everytime the raid happens.

If I change Demodras.xml to

<raid>
<announce delay="0" type="event" message="Demodras, the evil dragon boss, has returned to its lair." />
<areaspawn delay="0" fromx="1141" fromy="1000" fromz="11" tox="1141" toy="1000" toz="11">
    <monster name="Demodras" amount="1" />
  </areaspawn>
</raid>

The Demodras won't stack anymore because the tile is already filled.
Still the message appears. And if the Demodras is lured away and not killed, a second Demodras will spawn.

Thanks in advance.

Untested, but it may work

function onThink(cid)
    local flag = 0
    local spec = getSpectators({x = 809, y = 971, z = 7}, 10, 10, FALSE)
    if spec ~= nil then
        for _, s in pairs(spec) do
            n = getCreatureName(s)
            if n == "Demodras" then
                flag = flag + 1
            end
        end
        if flag > 1 then
            broadcastMessage("Test!", MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
            doRemoveCreature(cid)
            return TRUE
        end
    end
end

Nice!

Works pretty great, sometimes it bugs (1 out of 50?) and 2 stay alive but once they are killed the 2nd doesn't leave a body. It might also poof if player is near, haven't tested that.

You can try this code to use it with all raid bosses, not only Demodras:

function onThink(cid)
    local flag = 0
    local spec = getSpectators({x = 809, y = 971, z = 7}, 10, 10, FALSE)
    if spec ~= nil then
        for _, s in pairs(spec) do
            n = getCreatureName(s)
            cidname = getCreatureName(cid)
            if n == cidname then
                flag = flag + 1
            end
        end
        if flag > 1 then
            broadcastMessage("Test!", MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
            doRemoveCreature(cid)
            return TRUE
        end
    end
end

well if I use it like this and a boss spawns within a normal respawn wont it check the normal creatures also and remove them?

 

[guiismiti]

No, because you only add the script to the creatures you want to execute it. You added

    <script>
<event name="RemoveBoss" />
</script>

to Demodras, so, only Demodras will execute it, not other creatures.

but I'm not sure, you may need to test it

 

[Exoltes]

Works perfectly, only removes the monsters in which the script is active Thx man!

 

[Exoltes]

But since it will be all bosses in the same script, how do i make this line check multiple floors?

    local spec = getSpectators({x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}, 1000, 1000, FALSE)

Also when the script bugs and the 2nd Demodras stays, it still disappears whenever a player comes near it.


also if i now put a 2nd Demodras on a different floor, and i make a 3rd on the floor which is being checked the 3rd and the 2nd will be removed at the time I summon the third.


Also it doesn't always remove the new creature, it removes the creature which is found most north-west in the area of search.

Change FALSE to TRUE for multifloor.
Btw, if there are more bosses far away from eachother, you can also just use a different script for the other boss instead of checking for range 1000, which is pretty big and will take much memory since onThink loads all the time.

 

[Exoltes]

Oke thx, yea was thinking that also so probably only going to use a bigger one for bosses with different locations.

 

[guiismiti]

instead of using {x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7} as position, try to use the creature prosition:
getCreaturePosition(cid)
