Idea - summoned monster following instructions from the scroll

[nasu]

Recently, while playing Diablo 2 on a necromancer summoner build, I had an idea, and the idea came to me after drinking 7-8 beers. With an empty scroll, we type in the instructions, and after using the scroll on the summoned monster, the monster will begin to perform these actions

example, we will write the following instructions in the scroll:

move north
move north
move south
move west
say "hello"
wait 3
make smokefart

ps. wait 3 - delay 3 seconds

After using the scroll on the monster, it will begin to perform these actions.

It would be cool, for example, to command the summon to fish and make it a loop instruction.

fishing x=752 y=1250 loop //casting a fishing rod from a given position

Of course, you need to write a small parser in Lua, although I don't know how it is these days, because I haven't created any OpenTibia servers for many years. I prefer to create forum topics with ideas that my sick mind comes up with.

In general, the idea has a slight vibe of robotics and machine programming (summons xD)

Can you give me some practical uses for this?

Hi, I was expecting such questions. Generally speaking, it's about the very fact of having fun.

edit:
One thing that just came to mind is that players can create several scroll instructions that they can use on summons during combat, expanding the capabilities of summons

guard position
teleport to master
taunt enemies
self destruction //boom, area dmg

Of course, using a scroll costs mana, depending on how many instructions are stored and what they are.
Maybe someone would like to create a small RPG server where the only thing we fight with is summons... I wonder what PvP with summons would look like. It would be cool to have an arena on the server, something like robot fighting, but we have to control the summons with scrolls.

Would be better to create a summon module in the client, and have controls there for your summons.

I get the idea of writing it in a scroll (for RPG vibe/reasons), but it will feel clunky.

or both designs together, you take control of summon to perform actions that record the script scroll that can be reused.
Altought direction is quite a specific requirement, I would suggest allow abstract functions like, find closest object and based on mana cost or some other level you limit player with distance
