Boss Spawn Sign - Saying if it is spawned or not.

[Kibidon777]

I currently have 2 bosses on my server.

1. Dragon Lord King
2. Undead King

They are set to spawn every 10 minutes. I was wondering if there was a way I could script a sign, or possibly an above text effect, that would in pseudocode

If [bossname] = killed then set sign = is not spawned
wait 10 minutes
set sign [bossname] has spawned

or

set text above effect. [bossname] has spawned.
or
[bossname] has not spawned.

Thank you for the help!

Sincerely,
Kibidon

It is spawned like a raid or like a normal spawn?

 

[Kibidon777]

Normal spawn. Spawn rate 1x on server. Spawn time is 600 seconds.

 

[Dantarrix]

Mmm.... I think you can check area, if there is a monster with that name, then set sign... xD
I will see if i can do...

Thanks! I am also trying to set it up so that I can have my VPS restart once every 24 hours and do a server save kind of like normal tibia. I was wondering if there is anyway to use local server time in global events, so that it saves, and says that it is restarting and to come back in 10 minutes. Is this possible?

By that I mean I want it to restart at 04:00 local server time everyday.

Emm.... I think so... You mae a global event on time in 3:50... Send text message... then addEvent (saveServer, 10 * 60 * 1000), kick all players.... then closeserver, then save, then open server.... That's all i think... :/

Could you say me how you send the effecto of the sign to the position please?
Thank you.

This should work for the first script you needed:

Spoiler

local config = {
    ["Dragon Lord King"] = {aniPos = {x=1000,y=1000,z=7}, signEffect = 56, textEffect = math.random(1, 254)},
    ["Undead King"] = {signPos = {x=1000,y=1000,z=7}, signEffect = 56, textEffect = math.random(1,254)}
    }
function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    for k, v in pairs(config) do
        if getCreatureByName(k) then
            doSendMagicEffect(v.aniPos, v.signEffect)
            doSendAnimatedText(v.aniPos, " "..k.." is spawned.", v.textEffect)
        else
            doSendAnimatedText(v.aniPos, " "..k.." is not spawned.", v.textEffect)
        end
    end
return true
end

Sorry all if i had spammed, but was for get info about the script the man wanted, i posted script cause i dont get any fast answer to questions....

Sorry for bad english...

I should have told you, but I am using TFS 0.3.6. I appreciate the help, but I got these errors.

Dont know what happened, but if someone could help...

Are you sure you configure it well?
["name of monster" = {aniPos = pos where effects will be shown, signEffect = number of the effect to be shown, textEffect = color of the effect (i make a math random to be random, but you can change math.random(1, 254) for a number from 1 to 254... xD

end
end
return true

Change math.random(1) for 1...

Change 31 in signEffect = 31 for CONST_ME_STUN

That maybe will work...
