So, I was bored one day, been trying to work on my server little bits by little bits.
And I came up with this one idea of bailing out something. And I wanted to use a very rare function in it (onAddItem).
So, I was trying to figure out how I should use both ideas and put them into one script. I came up with an idea of some kind of wishing well method.
The wishing well method is when you put something in something, then something happens.
Therefore, in this script, if you put gold in a specific area, then something will happen, in this case, a boss will be bailed out.
Every gold will be counted and added up and the required amount will be deducted. When the required amount reaches 0 or less, the boss is bailed out and will be summoned elsewhere.
Let's begin adding the scripts, then I'll do the explanations in the end.
In data\movements\scripts\bossBailout.lua:
In data\movements\movements.xml:
So, what do I need to edit?
In bossBailout.lua:
-- Under function AddItem, you just need to edit:
-- Under function removeCreature, you just need to edit:
