[Action] Pull Lever Spawn Monster

[xx Kami xx]

Hello and im looking for a simple script so when you use a lever it spawn's a monster outside the pz area where the lever is pulled i found a script but it isnt the 1 i need maybe someone can mix it around and make it like the script i need?

I made something similar to what you want, I only used a blackboard instead of a lever, because you can't write on/talk to a lever. So maybe this is usefull too.
creaturescripts.xml

<event type="textedit" name="Demons" event="script" value="demons.lua"/>

Add this to login.lua

registerCreatureEvent(cid, "Demons")

demons.lua

local config = {
	["1"] = {n = 1},
	["2"] = {n = 2},
	["3"] = {n = 3},
	["4"] = {n = 4},
	["5"] = {n = 5},
	["6"] = {n = 6},
	["7"] = {n = 7},
	["8"] = {n = 8},
	["9"] = {n = 9},
	["10"] = {n = 10}
}

function onTextEdit(cid, item, newText)

	if item.uid == 15000 and item.itemid == 1811 then -- add the unique id in the blackboard
	local x = config[newText]
		if x then
			for i = 1, x.n do
			local pos = {x= math.random(94, 100), y= math.random(114, 120), z=7} -- edit here the locations from the area they spawn in
				doSummonCreature("Demon", pos)
			end
			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 22, ""..newText.." demons spawned.")
		else 
			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 22, "You can only choose between 1 and 10.")
		end
	end
	return true
end

You can write the number of demons you want on the blackboard and they will spawn in the area from local pos.
Btw, if you only want to use a lever, tell me the idea you had about how a player can choose a number while using a lever.

Will Rep++

doSummonCreature("Ferumbras", {x = toPosition.x - 1, y = toPosition.y + 1, z = toPosition.z})

Just change position, if you want more monsters to spawn at the same time you can repeat the function.
Example with loop.

local pos = {
   {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7},
   {x = 101, y = 100, z = 7},
   {x = 102, y = 100, z = 7}
}

for x = 1, #pos do
   doSummonCreature("Demon", pos[x])
end

With different monsters.

local m = {
   {monster = "Demon", pos = {x = 100, y = 100, z = 7}},
   {monster = "Dragon", pos = {x = 101, y = 100, z = 7}},
   {monster = "Hydra", pos = {x = 102, y = 100, z = 7}}
}

for x = 1, #m do
   doSummonCreature(m[x].monster, m[x].pos)
end

So can you start from the begging and post it like steps because im a little slow

 

[Limos]

Only thing you have to do is replace this line

doSummonCreature("Ferumbras", {x = toPosition.x - 1, y = toPosition.y + 1, z = toPosition.z})

With what 1 of the things I posted. If you want the same monsters then you can use the first one, for different monsters the second one.

 

[wikutag]

oh okey and use the script you posted earlier on page 1?

 

[Limos]

Yes.

@Limos
So would it be like this? and also how do i set it to a switch? the switch id i use is
18:33 You see a lever.
ItemID: [9825], and where would i put the Unique id?


function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)

local fromPos = {x = toPosition.x - 10, y = toPosition.y - 10, z = toPosition.z}
local toPos = {x = toPosition.x + 10, y = toPosition.y + 10, z = toPosition.z}

local amount = 0
for x = fromPos.x, toPos.x do
for y = fromPos.y, toPos.y do
for z = fromPos.z, toPos.z do
local m = {
{monster = "Demon", pos = {x = 31635, y = 32327, z = 7}},
{monster = "Dragon", pos = {x = 31647, y = 32328, z = 7}},
{monster = "Hydra", pos = {x = 31649, y = 32336, z = 7}}
}

for x = 1, #m do
doSummonCreature(m[x].monster, m[x].pos)
end
end
end
end
end

if amount >= 1 then
doSendMagicEffect(getThingPos(cid), CONST_ME_POFF)
doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You need to kill Ferumbras first before you can summen one again.")
return true
else
doSummonCreature("Ferumbras", {x = toPosition.x - 1, y = toPosition.y + 1, z = toPosition.z})
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You have summened Ferumbras.")
doSendMagicEffect(getThingPos(cid), CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE)
end
return true
end

Instead of

doSummonCreature("Ferumbras", {x = toPosition.x - 1, y = toPosition.y + 1, z = toPosition.z})

 

[wikutag]

@Limos

but it dont seem like anything is wrong they spawn

 

[ares413]

is there a way to do the exact same thing but the monster comes out of a rune?

 

[Limos]

Use a rune instead of a lever, add it with the itemid of the rune in actions.xml or you can also make it into a spell by replacing the actions main function (onUse) with the one from spells (onCastSpell) so you can use the xml options for spells.

 

[chaotical]

Hey guys I am kind of confused with all these different codes and add that,remove that thingy. I am making annihilator and I got the anni lever teleport thing working. How can I make it though to when this lever is switched to also spawn the monsters on anni? I don't want to do it via Remeres Map Editor to prevent abuse.


Coordinates for the demons are:
a) 1146, 1217, 8
b) 1148, 1217, 8
c) 1147, 1221, 8
d) 1149, 1221, 8
e) 1150, 1219, 8
f) 1150, 1219, 8

Action id of lever is 7000

I am using tfs 0.4

Thank you in advance!
