MoveEvent Boss Bailout

[Evan]

Ahh, yeah, you're using an older revision, that's why it doesn't have this function.
You can make it work by removing that whole line, but then again, if you want, you will have to find another way to allow players to access the total amount of gold that has been placed in.
And yes, it is possible to have different bosses each time.

I removed it and it works,but is it hard/would it take long to make it have a different boss each time?

 

[Evan]

It depends on what you mean "each time".

 

[Vendeliko]

It depends on what you mean "each time".

What I mean is,everytime the payment is paid a different boss is bailed out.

 

[Evan]

So, it's just a list of monsters that will be summoned at a random rate?

 

[Vendeliko]

Ye,how can i add it?

 

[Evan]

I can try to add it later today, I'm not at a computer with all my files.
I have rarely used math.random, so I don't exactly know how to implement it.

I learn by example

 

[Vendeliko]

Ok ,If you manage to add it let me know.

Btw,Not sure if its a bug but you can pay to get a new boss out even if there is one already out which means if some idiot wanted they could spend a hell lot of money and make a boss stand on every sqm xd.

gonna eat breakfast and will look into it

Summons random monsters now!

- It summons a random monster from a defined array.
- It also announces that monster correctly
